A nice season? He had 10 catches the entire season/career. You could replace him with one of the backup offensive lineman and Drew could get him 10 catches a season. If he doesn't step up big real real soon he should be easy to replace.

Re: Crowded WR Battle

Meach and Toon are gone. No reason to keep them. Meach may be back from week to week but Toon is gone.

Re: Crowded WR Battle

Why do you think toon is gone?

Re: Crowded WR Battle

What happened to ULM WR/TE Je'Ron Hamm? I thought we signed him too. I see him being on the PS for sure.

Toon was a mid/late pick and has shown nothing. WR position is too deep to let him continue to hang around.

Speed only kills if there is a catch on the other end of it. Morgan has been so unproductive that he doesn't even open things up for the other WR's. That's why Cooks is here. Meacham doesn't have anything left in the tank and Toon has done even less than Morgan. I think both get another shot in preseason, but I wouldn't be surprised to see either or both cut. Tanner doesn't have one tenth the talent of either, but would bring more on the field production. I'm hoping a couple of the new guys show real potential. If 2 of the 3 Meacham, Toon or Morgan are on the 53 man roster then we have ZERO depth at WR.

Re: Crowded WR Battle

When it's all done

Stills , Cooks , Colston , Coleman , Morgan and a Occasional off and on with Tanner as per the norm

Having 3 guys that can take the top off a defense at any time is unheard of , if they double graham we have way too much speed with stills Morgan and cooks for almost everyone not to be open , Drews gonna be giddy with options to throw to
