Ginn is a good pickup... for Cleveland or Jacksonville... Not here, not where we have "real" sure handed recievers...

Semantics, we signed him in his rookie year, before the season. Technically he worked out with Cleveland for a couple months before we picked him up.

So you're saying he was a free agent.

Ted Ginn? Are you serious?

Unless Joe Morgan goes totally dipschiott - we've got the next guy to step up...

Free Agents, while any upgrade is great, needs are...

Defensive Tackle, End, Linebacker, maybe another Offensive Tackle (but the best one left Texas and has signed with the Chiefs...

Also that was in 2005. Pre-Payton, Pre-Brees, Pre-RBL. If we are counting that, we may as well count Albert Connell

Or perhaps we consider that we were 5 deep in quality receivers and the necessity to acquire a free-agent WR ranked just below replacing Drew Brees as our QB.

I wouldn't consider Moore to be a FA signing, since he was an UDFA, he was more like a rookie signing.

Technically yes, but not in the sense of traditional FA pick ups.

Because we haven't needed to in 6 plus seasons?

Having Colston, Meachem, Henderson and Moore on the team kinda negates the need to go out and sign a free-agent WR doesn't it?
