So you're talking $7-9 million + losing a precious compensatory pick. Forget about it.

Maybe you have him confused with someone

He was 20th in drops in percentage of targets in 2014 season.  he improved this year but MJ still has better hands..

If we want to overpay for an inconsistent WR with shaky hands I would rather bring Sanu back.

This is one weird market.  I think teams are scrambling to spend cap space, as some teams have mountains of unspent payroll cash.

I say we sign Nate Washington for a year and look at 2nd-3rd round talent in the draft.

It was a Monday or Sunday night game last year they were talking about it. He had like 5 drops in that game. It was awful to watch. Felt bad for him!

Would you entertain Braxton Miller if he slipped to our 3rd?

I'm not a fan of project players but he could perhaps step in for a deeper spot on the receiving depth end.

Much like a Sanu but with an upside.  Could also challenge Tate if Adam Jones does not return on special teams.

That's not a lot. At all.


Sanu had more drops in 2014 than Randle had in the last 2 years combined. And why would the Giants care what Coughlin thinks? They fired him.

Also, if they benched Randle it didn't last long, as he started 13 games in 2014 and was targeted at least 3 times in every game.
