Guy is still available. What are your thoughts on signing him for cheap and drafting a wide receiver early? Feel like he could provide some decent depth with Lafell.
Meh.

I rather just double dip in the draft, get one in 1/2 and one in 4/5.
Not sure a racist is what the locker room needs to get over the one-and-done problem. Plus he's just not very good of a WR.
Meh, Riley Cooper isn't anything special. He's about the same as Sanu honestly. I wouldn't mind if we picked him up for depth, but I think we should just draft a WR in the first or second.

Plus with the pickup of LaFell, Cooper won't see the field very often. Just like Sanu didn't see the field very often last year.

....what?

Sanu played 60.9% of the offensive snaps in 2015.

Green: 88.3%
Jones: 85.3%
Sanu: 60.9%

60.9% was 643 offensive snaps... that's a lot.
I would be worried about impact on locker room

There seems to be a lot of great chemistry with our players .

Do not underestimate the importance of guys playing for each other.

April Fool's Day is April 1, not March 31. But good joke though!
He would be nice to have as a 4/5 WR, but his character is not what this team needs. I'd rather go WR in round 2, one of them will fall, and again in round 5. This insures youth, and we can grab one again before rd 4 next year...we have AJ and Eifert that's a solid 1-2 punch....I'd focus on Defense on at least 2 of our first 3 rounds this year!!! The defensive draft is loaded with talent.
No no and no.
