That's already a no brainer. Welker and Caldwell both are gone.

I think Wes might be here on a 1 year deal (with a significant pay cut)

Ok ill duck behind the couch for this one.

I will join you behind the couch - Sanders is younger, faster, less beat up and still playing for his huge payday - i pick He-Mannuel over Fitz.

Agreed. Younger, faster and cheaper. Elways on interested in getting a bargain anyway and Fitz isnt a bargain. Only way I see him coming here is if contract talks go haywire with DT.

i dont get why people hating on wes. Wes has been open on alot of plays and just not had the ball thrown to him.

I don't see why that would happen. Welker is pretty irrelevent at this point, and he's going to get another concussion long before he doesn't. So any contract with him would be just a couple games away from him being released anyway.

He's just not a guy that gets open with speed anymore....which was his thing. Now he can be covered by nearly any nickle back on the field, and because that doesn't cause mis-matches...its leaving others to defend other areas as Wes just isn't creating problems.

Yeah Wes hasnt looked the same this year. I like Welker alot but think father time has caught up to him and has had one too many concussions.

There is a chance that Saturday marks the final game for Larry Fitzgerald in an Arizona Cardinals jersey.

Speaking on NFL Network's NFL GameDay First on Saturday morning, Ian Rapoport reported that the Cardinals are expected to ask Fitzgerald to take a pay cut from his $15 million salary in 2015.

"I'm told the ball is in his court, as far as how much he wants to accept and how willing he is to help their salary-cap situation," Rapoport said.

AND

Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said last month the team's "intent" is to have Fitzgerald retire a Cardinal. He also said, "We have to make good business decisions."

Just please no. No more WR's. I sat all offseason last yar about how Denver needed a WR, so they went and wastred a 2nd round on some guy rotting at the end of the bench.

This is sound logic. We needed a WR so we got one that hasn't panned out (yet), so now we don't need a WR???

LOL - i do think we will need to add another WR in this years draft, but i still think Latimer is going to come good, i think he is another big bodied receiver with good speed that is good after the catch.

I want a FS and I can guarantee we will draft two TEs but I'd rather sign a guy like fasano or Mercedes Lewis or so,etching and draft another Orange Julius type with our comp.


So FS, OL, DE, and if knighton walks we will need a DT to plug the middle.

The pats are fags and signed Chung to a 3 year extension. I wanted him.

this. ^^^^^^ we've got a top two or three wide out in the game at one spot, an emerging star at another, a nightmare at Te when healthy and although old, the hands down best slot to ever lace them up.

Add to that the fact that we have a hc and qb who need to win now and I think unless you had the next an green or Calvin Johnson, they'd have a hard time seeing the field in Denver. His lack of playing time at one of the hardest positions to transition to in the NFL has little to do with a lack of talent or potential in Latimer

I hope you are right Jst, because what you are saying makes sense. The ONLY thing that brings hesitance to that is that I would hope that Latimer COULD get into the lineup for Welker more often considering how ineffective Welker has been. But, as you said, this offense was the most prolific in NFL history last season, and the WRs and QB are pretty well synced up. It's hard to keep that in perspective when you see so many young WRs throughout the NFL have such good years this season.

I get it but Peyton is huge on chemistry. He's got more with wes
