Quote:I think it also means that they'd like to add a veteran receiver to the group, but they're not going to overspend to do so, and if they don't land one, they're fine with that.  There's a lot of free agency left before the season starts, and I'm sure there will be other names that hit the wire as teams make roster moves leading up to the season. 

Don't rule out a WR at the top of the draft either. For sure they will replace Shorts with another WR. I think we can write Blackmon off for now for returning, Free Agency crop is pretty thin now. I would not be surprised if they went Cooper at 3. Maybe even a WR in the 2nd or 3rd. 

 

I dont necessarily think Caldwell wanted a veteran per say. I know that sounds good to such a young WR corp. But Caldwell said he wants this offseason to be about improving Blake. And his comments about wanting a slot receiver give baring to that fact he just wants to make the offense better. 

 

I think a veteran presence is nice, but play makers is better.
