Heres the free agent WRs.http://www.footballsfuture.com/2008/nfl/freeagentsWR.html Yes but there are probably some who played healthy 16 games this year. I am not so sure LC is not going to be an injury problem the rest of the way. We can probably find someone who can give us better than 50 or so catches.

KINGDIRK Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 He'll be 31 in December, meaning he will not be around when this team is ready to make a deep run into the playoffs. Deal him now. His value cant get any higher as the years pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 If you decide to deal him please have a plan in place to replace him and no not with Smith and Stuckey...Clemens will struggle enough let alone having to work with inexperienced wrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive said this for years we need a true #1 WR.This years draft really lacks a big-time guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Here's my take on Coles: He's been a great player for us whenever he's been here and put his body on the line time and time again to make plays for us, no one can ever question his heart or toughness when he's playing. However his body is clearly breaking and he is constantly getting injured, I give him credit for playing through injury but sometimes that can hurt the team just as much as him not being there. I've loved Coles as a player but it may be time to move on, he's not a true #1 guy anymore and he's not physically capable of performing consistently like he used to. I can understand why he's complaining but he has to understand that the management must do what's best for the team at all costs, even if that does mean parting ways with one of the teams most respected leaders. If it's true that the Jets made promises to him that they didn' backup well then he's got every right to complain and it was huge mistake on the Coaching staff/Front office to make those promises to him in the first place. Right now, especially considering he's unhappy, I think we may have to move him and bring in replacements vis free agency or the draft. I've always believed that Cotch could be a decent #1 as long as he has a half decent WR opposite him (Not J-Mac). Anyways, If Coles does leave I wish him all the best and that his concussion issues no longer bother him. Like I said he's one of my all time favourites and I just wish I could have seen him help us to a superbowl, if he wins one elsewhere, I'll be truly happy for him.

4HCrew Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I do not think you can truly evaluate Coles when you had Chad laying him out or Kellen taking sacks. In a normal offense that has pass blocking and a running game he could be a legit #1. Be careful what you wish for people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
