except he had 4 consecutive 1000 yard receiving seasons (ave of 1178 yards), and played 17-18 games in each. Not sure who else will be available, Hardy is 34, KeeSean Johnson would be a candidate if hes available .
Right now we have two import spots available its ok to fill one with a rookie but the other needs to be a proven top reciever. Last year we tried a number of guys and look where we are now.

My preference would be to sign a big receiver, but not many on the list other than Dominik Rhymes, who's probably fishing for $250k.

pass, we are too deep to go that route, but I suspect this was partially for laughs or dreams LOL

That's what makes the question interesting.

yeah it's well done my friend, was a complement, wait there is time limit...I never use those but it's a good idea.  I don't want to miss my window

With the log jam at LB, it would be seamless to let Wilson walk. Feels like Griffin or Woodbey as the WIL and first one off the bench when a DL comes off.

Hopefully the Canadians get more work this season, but neither they or Ayers has had the defensive snaps to win this battle if it is one. I say Woodbey wins it out of camp with Griffin staying in his role of the last couple of years.

I voted for Woodbey as the logical candidate, see Griffin as the best SAM on the team.

He's not into blocking and drops plenty of passes, after Dillon Mitchell I'd vote no thanks.

He was paid $224K last season so SMS is a huge question. He'll be 31 in July and not the biggest receiver we might consider.

I suppose speaking with his agent wouldn't hurt but I'm guessing he wants more than last year.

I'm sure the receiving core has room for one more big contract in the budget. Only have Demski right now.

I don't really know, but voted Woodbey. I think if Wilson was slotted in for the spot, he would have been signed already. He may get signed at lower salary to compete at camp, but I don't think the spot will be gifted to him. The 2 Canadians got so few reps on D, I can't see them starting until they've had more defensive reps, which may occur this year. Griffin is great, but Woodbey seemed to be coming on in the second half of the season and had a higher trajectory. It think both Griffin and Woodbey will get lots of reps on D whoever it is.

I think if they sign Wilson it will be with the expectation he'll start. Bring him to TC just to compete wouldn't seem right.

As mentioned the fact he hasn't been re-signed yet may be an indication he won't be. However, he could be re-signed at any time in theory.

This is such a hard question LOL, I need to think about it, why do we have to choose just one LOL

That's what makes the question interesting.
