Quote:Well I sure wish we would sign a vet at WR, not necessarily to play that much (start) but just to give advice, etc. Maybe Welker or Wayne, but I doubt they would come here anyway.

That's what we need.  An overpriced has been who is either a concussion risk, or just old and  ineffective so that they can give our young guys advice. 

 

I'm pretty sure if the young receivers need advice, they've got a coach who probably knows more about the position than any veteran sitting on the street hoping some team will take a flyer on him.  Jerry Sullivan negates the need to have some guy who may or may not be a mentor.  Most of our younger receivers now have a season under their belt, and they all got plenty of time on the field to adjust to the speed of the game, and to learn how to identify and deal with coverages.  Neither of the veterans you mentioned would be even remotely appealing, and to be honest, there's nobody out there on the waiver wire who would be worth pursuing.  Our receivers are  young, but they're better than what we have available right now in free agency.
