I'm really nervous that we won't resign ARob or at least give him the tag/1 year prove it deal.
This Offense (regardless of who ends up as QB next season) could use a guy that demands attention and can take defenders out of the box. This team has not had the same explosive component with him out.
If we need to cut Hurns and his $10 million a year salary or forego paying Lee, I'm completely fine with it. We just need to make sure he's wearing Teal for a long time! (also we should go back to wearing teal more but thats another topic)

I bet there is. NFL teams are infatuated with height weight speed guys. Hands seem to be an afterthought. And you only keep 5 or 6 WRs on your roster. Which means you almost always keep the rookie WR who has potential and let go of the aging vet. I bet there are 100 possession WR types sitting out there right now waiting for a call as WRs start getting injured for the year.
List some. Since there are apparently 100 receivers out there just waiting on calls who would upgrade this roster, I'm interested to see who they are.

The guy hasn't played a snap in 2 years. I'm thinking he isn't exactly the kind of plug and play guy they might pursue.

Gotta hope that Cole and Westbrook get better as the season goes along.
Ummm where have you been all season?
Bryan Walters would be a sensible guy to kick the tires on.

Wasn't he released on an injury settlement though?

Yes, in the off-season. I don't think there's any rule against them bringing him on if they're looking for someone with familiarity with the team and good hands.

I'm actually a little surprised they haven't brought him in to see if he's now healthy enough to get on the field. He's a guy who has super reliable hands, and who is also fearless. My guess is that they've kept track of his progress since releasing him, and he's not in a position to make a return. Otherwise, I would imagine the team would have brought him back with the injuries piling up.

There actually is a rule that prevents the Jags from re-signing him for a period of time after releasing him on an injury settlement like they did. It's possible that time period has expired or is expiring soon though.
James Lofton volunteered his services during Sunday's broadcast.
Do we have any choice in the matter?
Until Sept 2018 I guess.
They need to pass a physical for the period to end.
Here is part of the rule.
Teams aren't able to re-sign waived/injured players until the injury settlement time period plus three additional weeks have passed
We should have traded for Fitzgerald at deadline.
