Unless something changed for Sanders over the last month, he told reporters at SI that he's strongly considering retirement.

I know it's slim pickings but I don't like any of them. Laundry if forced to but I wouldn't want anything more than a year deal. Will turn 30 this year and his numbers ha e declined the past two years. Always seems banged up.

Sanders just looked like he was playing on fumes last year. And Fuller might well injure himself signing his deal

Wouldn't we be better off with draft picks at this juncture ?

I'd ask Miami what they want for Parker, his cap hit is around 6ml for each of the next two years. Other than that or similar trade yes for me the draft.

I wouldn't be signing players over 30 for any sort of long term deals

I am a little confused on why so many people are all in on bringing in an aged wide receiver to the mix. I think all assumptions are that MT comes back healthy and if so I believe Callaway will be a perfect fit at the two along with a hybrid like Harty(Harris). Callaway with 4 different starting QB’s last year had comparable numbers to these other FA’s many are wanting. Fact is Callaway was just not ready for a number one role especially on an offense like we had last year so the number 2 role may be where the coaches believe he will excel. And truthfully after seeing what all these young receivers are doing around the league you save your money and hopefully hit paydirt with a young guy coming in and not spend 7 or 8 million on an over the hill receiver.

Receivers can play a little longer into their 30s than other positions; like QBs they can use their experience to offset declining skills...

If Jarvis Landry would do a three year deal with the first two seasons guaranteed money, I'd get that done in a second...

WRz Emmanuel Sanders in a time share with a rookie WRz would also be good for the team...

Valdez Scantling was a guy that could have really helped us on offense.

As far as defense goes, not really sure what will happen with PJ & Kwon A.

I’d hate to either of them.

I want Kwon back

TE is a position that definitely needs to be addressed. I don’t see very many people discussing this. Yes we are badly in need of a WR 2 but I feel like we can draft a guy. Are there any TE’s in FA or on other teams rosters that would be worth a trade? What’s this years draft class look like?
