Per Report, Marvin Jones wants $7m+ per year!

I mean LOL at signing Percy Harvin, Rod Streater or DHB.

I think Eifert was a much bigger contributor than Jones was. Like I said, I think that Jones is a good receiver and I hope we can keep him, but I don't think he's needed for the offense to play well. As long as we have Green and Eifert healthy our weapons should be fine. If Jones does go I think we could find a nice replacement in the first few rounds of the draft.

I never said Jones was a bigger contribution than Eifert.

Yeah, but can't we keep him and not risk him being more important than we think AND spend our higher draft picks on stuff we need rather than a hole we let happen?  We're going to be down 2 WRs and I don't think anyone on our bench is going to step up AND I don't see us saving any money at all on a FA risk.

I don't think losing Jones will be the end of the world, but I'd rather not lose him because we haven't been too efficient in finding #2 WRs in a hurry.

Signing Brian Quick doesn't qualify as seriously, IMO. Quick couldn't even get on the field last year for a Rams team in desperate need of WRs.

He was still recovering from major shoulder surgery. reports are he will be completely healed in time for mini camp and OTAs.
