[The Zipp]

[Pete]

Mitchell? What are you even talking about? White's a perennial 1000 yard receiver.

[TBURGESS]

Not bad, but I'd rather have a bigger guy.

2x wild baseless speculation imo

I have fixed feelings about this one but will decide how I feel when I see the $

Edit: hold on a tic he can return, warming up the feels on this one

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Finally some good news. He's going to open up the field for the offense as long as Collaros can still threaten deep. Demski and Pokey should be thrilled. They're going to have twice the room to work over last year. 

[bunker]

Cautiously optimistic. Hopefully turns out to be a good signing. 3Down had him as the top ranked free agent receiver after Johnson, who re-signed with the riders.
On the negative, he likely was not cheap, and he's another small receiver.
Our blocking from our receivers was bad last year. It was particularly evident on wide receiver screens.

[JockitchwithRich]

Great, great, great potential for offensive attack
Stearns performed decently but well done Walters

Media event/interview will take place tomorrow, Thursday, January 29 at 3:00 p.m. CT.

We should look at Tommy Nield, 6"3 206lb nonimport, also in camp we have Jahmal Banks 6" 4   213lbs and decent speed

[Pigskin]

I like this signing. 5'9" 175, but he has world class speed.

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

I like this signing. 5'9" 175, but he has world class speed.

I thought he was taller than that, basically the same size as Sterns but a lot more expensive.  This receiving corps. needs more muscle.
