Devery Henderson

Devery is probably safe for now, but his leash is getting short in my opinion. He has had a lot of ups and downs but last year he went long stretches without contributing anything. He has improved in catching the ball over the years but he's not better than Morgan in that regard. He does have more experience... A lot more, and that's all that's keeping him ahead of Morgan, because Joe might actually be faster than Devery.

You gotta get open and if Devery doesn't start doing that like he used to, we have other guys to take his role of running the deep fly all day long.

Devery will kick in as soon as it matters.

The reason he was quiet at times last year is because there is only one ball.
We have 5 receivers who are stars.

I think Devery and Meachem had overlapping roles. With Meachem gone, Devery should be more involved. That said, Devery needs to stay on his toes or Joe, or guys like him, will take his spot in a second if he doesn't stay on the top of his game.

EDIT: I meant he could lose his spot in the offense. NOT his spot on the roster. He's a lock this season and he's earned that status.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
