Um...41 receptions isn't impressive. He was out-performed by an undrafted rookie.

Simpson played 11 games, the majority of those hurt. Aromashodu wasn't even a starter.

Is DHB better than who we have on our roster? Probably. I wouldn't mind him for Simpson cash but we need to aim higher. DHB can't be counted on to contribute much, especially in a WCO.

sign him for depth and let him earn a spot in camp. but only for cheap towards the end of free agency...if he's there.

Pretty even by my eyes. Streater was certainly the better receiver in the latter half of the season.

The reason he was cut was because he was owed 10 mil this year not because he was underperforming.

If he was worth keeping they would've restructured or franchised him. They deemed him expendable, which tells you all you need to know about how they valued him.

These are not impressive numbers by any means but considering he was playing with a horrible line and and old washed up carson palmer.

Palmer still threw for 4,000+ yards.

You sound like you play madden. Understand that with outside threats we can spread the field better. Makes the defense easier to read as they have to line up 2 safety's majority of the time to respect the deep threat. You can only give so many looks from a 2 high or 2 low read. the kid had 41 receptions last year that's more than jerome simpson armoshado had combined so no I don't think it would be a mistake.

If you only had a clue then you'd realize that Madden jab couldn't be any more off base. The comparison to Jerome is completely irrelevant. His numbers on Oakland does not mean they would have translated to Minnesota. Palmer threw the ball 565 times and Ponder only 483 and that's with Ponder having a one game edge.

The Raiders already did this song and dance theory you project, but instead of Jerompe Simpson, it was Denarius Moore. It would make 0 sense to add someone who has been in the league a few years and is still so unpolished. Especially without anyone else on the roster at the receiver spot.

Madden...Haha...You're a fool.

I've never understood why Ponder just doesn't restart the game when he throws a pick. Or why AP doesn't use play rewind when he misses a gap. Real football is so boring

And I don't see why it wouldn't work here with a stronger line and even stronger running game. it just seems logical to me

Yeah you guys will last a long time on this board...

Yeah, 4-12 sure is a desirable goal. Real "obvious."

You're only taking the facts at face value that help your argument without knowing what they mean. While having a better line and running game is true...A team in Minnesota's position can ill-afford to waste a spot on someone like DHB. Not right now, at least. Maybe if they get Jennings and the price is right.

*Hands up* I didn't do nothin'.

Bears LB Nick Roach signed with Oakland. Safe assumption Bears go MLB in round 1 and possibly pony up a bit to retain Urlacher (or sign Dansby). Out of options.

Some in NFL thought #Vikings would be in on Sean Smith. He got 3 yrs/$16.5M for #Chiefs, $7.465M fully gt'd, per source. Seems like bargain.

Yeah, guess they never even called him. No idea what they were thinking there, must not have cared or liked him at all

MN never even called. RT @TomPelissero: Some thought #Vikings would be in on Sean Smith. He got 3 yrs/$16.5M for Chiefs. Seems like bargain.

Not even a call. Smh...

Come'on Rick! Think like this.

Emmanuel Sanders - WR - Steelers

Restricted free agent Emmanuel Sanders is visiting the Patriots on Friday.

Power move. Even low-level restricted free agents rarely escape their tendering team, but the Steelers find themselves in a mess of a cap situation. Sanders is tendered at the original-round level, which means the Patriots would only have to surrender a third-round pick if they signed him to an offer sheet Pittsburgh couldn't match. The Patriots — as you may have heard — have a ton of 2013 cap room left, and could offer a front-loaded deal Pittsburgh didn't have a legitimate chance of matching. Just 26 years old (on Sunday) with 94 catches in three seasons, Sanders would be worth a third-round gamble. He can play all three receiver spots, and has 4.4 wheels.

We could put in his contract that if he plays 4 games in the city of Pittsburgh in one season his contract is fully guaranteed!

There's no need for that ... the Steelers don't have the cap room to match any real offers anyway.
