A source says that teams in the mix for Raiders free-agent WR Andre Holmes are #Vikings, Raiders, Lions, Bengals and Eagles.

27 year old WR. Played with Oakland. Likely a depth signing.
Decent year in 2014.

I'd be interested in him as our 3rd wide receiver and have our drafted receiver be the #2.

Depth signing lol
We lose MJ and Sanu and we're gonna need real signing
Not sure why the Board wants to see rookie WRs VS the great corners of the AFFN
We're gonna need experience in that position

Has some speed unlike Mo, not a replacement by no means but would not be a bad depth
signing for TC. Like you said Shake, Holmes had a decent year in the NFL, so this guy is not
a complete nobody or anything. Actually had an okay year in 13' as well.

He's probably on the same level as Sanu, just a different skill set.

Actually the corners in our division are pretty bad...
RE: Bengals interested in Andre Holmes? - wolfkaosaun - 03-09-2016
He has speed. Probably a #3-4 WR. Still need to draft one.

He is also 6'5".
Yeah, definately need to draft atleast one receiver if we get this guy, maybe even two if we don't get another fella in FA.

Oh yay <_< this free agency is turning out to be crappy

He's pretty much Denarius Moore 2.0

If this happens, Andre Holmes could be a decent WR3. It really would (should?) mean though that a WR would be drafted within the first two rounds.
RE: Bengals interested in Andre Holmes? - Synric - 03-09-2016
I'm probably in the minority but I'm hoping they look at guys like Holmes. I would like to see them stack a deep young group and see what shakes out. A couple guys like Holmes and draft picks from days 2 & 3.

So there's that

Hoping one of the other teams are more interested.

Got back Illoka and Pacman, both WR's got WAY overpaid so I don't know what problems you could have with it so far...

Some just love to cry.
BTW, us being interested in Holmes is a good thing. Would make me feel much better going into the Draft.

Me too, he wouldn't be the best #2 but I think he could fill in if a rookie isn't ready right away, and he could provide solid depth.

We got one of the best available corners and best available safeties. And we've got a decent LB. I'm not seeing the crappy, outside of losing a receiver.

99% chance a rookie wideout won't be ready right away. For one most aren't, two, not a strong class at all to need a wideout. Especially not an outside receiver like Jones. More Sanu types then Jones types. And we'll need 2. Shame to need 2 receivers in a weak draft for them.
RE: Bengals interested in Andre Holmes? - yellowxdiscipline - 03-11-2016
Holmes or Kerley would be the guys id like to see us sign. We still need to draft a receiver early.
