5 wide? Nah, we going 6-wide bi___es.

He has been underwhelming so far in his brief NFL career. Height speed guy that could probably be had for a 7th. I would think the Steelers would have the upper hand on the pats being they are a divisional Jet opponent.

Heyward-Bey a few years ago. Boykin now. Seems like we have a "size" WR down at the bottom of the depth chart every year. How good is he on ST?

Not sure why we would do this our WR core is already crowded and we have young talent. As it stands we will probably be cutting a good WR or 2

He is like 3 years 600 yards and zero TD's why would anyone be interested in giving more than a bunch of Gato bottles. Give me a break.
If things go the way I'd like and kinda expect..... Johnson, Pickens one over 1000 one just under. CA3 and Robinson 1 about 600 one about 400. With TE and running back production that gets you around 3500 + yards. What I'd left for anyone else?

When a team with a loaded position group starts sniffing around trading for more, it makes me think of 3 things
1. Someone got a nagging injury
2. Someone is getting suspended… it’s about that time for off season drug and ped tests to pop, right? And there was a rumor that more gambling suspensions were coming down eventually …
3. They are going to trade DJ for cap room…

Rumor is a certain XFL WR hasn't impressed of what they have seen of him. Mims is pretty much a carbon copy... Doesn't hurt to have a crowded room going into camp. Cutdowns will weed out the excess.

Or 4. Our WR coach is familiar with him from his college tenure.
