No seriously, make Roddie White a Bengal

I went ahead and did it for you.  Pretty close in career accolades.  Also for a 5 year stretch roddy white was arguable the best WR in the nfl. Has he lost a step?  Sure- but don't say he  has never been close to Steve smiths skill set.  That's laughable.

Lol for all your typing and fandom hasn't addressed what I said.  A skill set isn't stats or results it the style and attitude a receiver plays with and these two players have vastly different skill sets.  If you want a veteran receiver than pick up a guy like Boldin who has proven to be productive and offers something to a team.  I compare White to Chad Johnson in terms of his value late in his career and maybe he can prove me wrong, but I want us to sign talent not names.
