They cant fill the void left with Burleson out. They cant beat coverages, they cant make critical catches. What is the point of keeping them around?? They are roster space fillers nothing more
 
ok, and you replace them with who? i completely agree with you but we're stuck with these clowns for now

There is nothing we can do to replace them without over paying. You want to trade a third for a half season of Nicks? or a high pick for Gordon. I agree Durham and Edwards arent worth keeping around but what can you do.
 
Make a trade, do you think the Lions should just sit back and wait??What if Calvins injury lingers, what if Burlesons recovery doesnt go well, or what if it doesnt heal correctly like Gronks forearm injury? Just think urgency is a must or this season is as good as over.

Yes trade for Nicks, Britt, or Gordon.
 
With the coaches we have I don't think it really matters. I could see us making the playoffs with a solid number 2 but you need good coaching to win against good teams.

You need to look at what you are giving up for two guys who will be free agents. (Britt and Nicks) Also Britt is a headcase. We missed our chance at Gordon and they probably wanted a 2nd for him which we cant give up because we need more draft picks because we arent a player away we are a few from being a complete team.
 
Open receivers helps too. Or better yet, open receivers that will catch balls that hit their fucking hands

K, so the Browns want a 2nd for him, but the Lions will probably draft a receiver again in the 1st or 2nd round. What would we actually lose there? A guy thats proving himself in the nfl that is only 22 years old, or draft a college receiver that might need time to develope, or even worse is a bust.

No one has the answer for this kdp, Cleveland isn't trading Gordon in first place though, I think that wind has closed.

I'd have to imagine that Cecil Shorts could be had. Like someone said earlier, if we have to give up a 2nd for him, so what, he is better than any 2nd round WR we could draft.

I think the best we'll get is Ogletree. He looked pretty good for practicing for five days.
 
Why do we need wrs? Were just going to run the ball up the middle 20 times.
 
Holy crap! The WNBA finals are on. Said no one ever.
 
We need to see about Blackmon or somebody. This team is too good to fizzle out like they did today, dropping every important catch possible.

You mean the guy who is one failed drug test away from a year long suspension. No thanks.
