I'd take Denarius Moore or Rod Streater over DHB.

Bay had a decent year when he had an actual QB throwing to him last year.

Heyward-Bey finished the season with 29 receptions for 309 yards and a touchdown.

Over 16 games.

What's wrong with that? He wasn't a starter. He'll get a chance in Pitt. In case you haven't noticed, we're pretty good at getting the most out of a receiver. We tend to also cut them loose at just the right time.

I can't see him even getting to be more than a #3 WR on a reliable basis. Maybe #2 on his good days. He's not even a good decoy.

Weeden can't face his own mediocrity.
The 2012 first-round draft pick told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Saturday that he believes the constant change in Cleveland was one factor that stymied his growth as a player.

The constant change was physically slowing down your arms and legs? It was blocking your vision and making your throw picks to the other team? Maybe you should try a less dynamic game, like checkers.

Heh. Giants must've been impressed after playing against Josh that one MNF game last season.

Chris Johnson and the Jets. He'll fit into their mix of mediocre and below average players quite well.

Fun fact: Russell Wilson earns less than T-Jack or T-Pry.

He's a superstar who has endorsement deals with Nike, EA Sports and Levi’s, to name a few.

I'm sure he's doing just fine.

That's a lot of faith to place in St. Louis.

St. Louis looked almost legit last year with Kellen Clemens at the helm. They aren't going to be beating the 49ers anytime soon as the div leaders, but they aren't a joke like they were a couple years ago.

EDIT: That's far more than I can say for the Vikings.

I saw him on Celebrity Apprentice a few years ago. Dude was in amazingly good shape. I'm not saying he could cut it in the NFL, but damn he looked good for being almost 50 at the time.

They're scrambling for a Plan B in case Hoyer's not the same, but damn.
