flgreen Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Chargers released WR Eric Parker. Assuming Parker is healthy (he dealt with a calf injury all offseason), he shouldn't have trouble finding work. Parker is only 29, can play special teams, and caught 57 passes as recently as 2006. The Browns are most likely to show interest, but Oakland, Miami, Dallas, and Baltimore may also pursue him. from: http://www.rotoworld.com/content/Home_NFL.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Nice. Looks like both the Jets & Browns weren't willing to give up anything for him after all. Hopefully the CS picks him up now that he's a Free Agent for the league minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasonJet Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 He wouldn't be a bad option as a 3rd WR. He would certainly be better than Brad Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozer76 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 and who knows if we'll ever be able to depend on Chansi-I say get this kid Agreed., I was hoping we'd give up a 6th for him. Now that there would be no compensation at all I say we grab him now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainzo Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Agreed., I was hoping we'd give up a 6th for him. Now that there would be no compensation at all I say we grab him now! He is going to be pursued by a bunch of teams. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drago Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 and who knows if we'll ever be able to depend on Chansi-I say get this kid of course you don'tknow if we can depend on chansi but at some point we need to give the rookies a chance. Can't keep collecting guys with talent and let them rot on the bench like they did to cotchery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqua4ever04 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Does he go on waivers? If so, he's already a Miami Dolphin with our #1 waiver priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 He was due to make $1.85M this year. If we were looking to bring in other players at WR I'd rather have had DJ Hackett for the 2-yr/$3.5M contract ($750K of it SB) that he got from Carolina.

Parker's familiarity with Schott's system is a real help SE he's also supposed to be a great lockerroom and practice guy presence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 he took San Diego's system here with him It doesn't appear that he did. Our offense is nothing like they ran when he was there. Their offense was good. Ours seems predicated on dumpoff passes, runs up the middle with the RB 7 yards back, and punting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
