Cotchery

i know... i was just throwing the idea out there for fun... we're "looking" for a vet... he's a vet..... seems kind of strange why we didnt say anything to him when he was still "on the team"

 

Anyone have an update on this? According to ESPN Insider it looks like we are currently the front runner to pick him up.

 

I saw that but he hasn't met with us yet. Heard he keeps failing physicals though

 

Anyone who would be an upgrade to Gage (who is a non-factor) and Washington (who can't catch) would be good.

If we want Locker to develop, we need to surround him with weapons - upgrade at WR. And a certain RB.

 

Lets see the Ravens won't sign him. His first choice the Steelers passed on signing him and allowed him to visit the Ravens, so they're unlikely to sign him. Unless Cotch declined their offer to visit the Ravens first.

I wonder why these teams don't want him? Titans should get him in for a visit. :wink2:

 

Forget Cotchery

From Rotoworld:

Johnny Knox may push for a trade out of Chicago if he doesn't win back his starting job, a source tells the Chicago Tribune.

Rightfully so. Knox has been demoted to No. 4 receiver and coordinator Mike Martz says he made a mistake by handing the "X" receiver spot to Knox last season. But Knox showed difference-making speed and upside a year ago, surely putting enough on tape to garner interest in the trade market. The Ravens should be on the phone to Chicago's front office as we speak.

 

We need to get Cotchery in for a visit. I'm real curious on why the Ravens passed on him after he passed the physical but Britt's scaring the sh1t out of me right now and we need all of the weapons we can get.

 

The longer we discuss these FAs the more greatness they obtain.
A guy who has been in the league for 7 years and has had one 1000 yard season is now the next Jerry Rice.

We have to get this guy in for a visit.

 

Knox would be awesome, but I don't see it happening. Although Martz is a nut-case sometimes and the Bears FO just traded Olsen (a top-10 TE IMO) for a 3rd round.

Johnny Knox - 25 years old - 6'0 185
2009 (R): 45 catches, 527 yards, 5 TDs
2010: 51 catches, 960 yards, 5 TDs

He's very cheap:
2011: 480K
2012: 565K
2013: Free Agent

Knox is basically a faster, younger, cheaper, and better catching version of Nate Washington. But would likely cost of atleast a 3rd round.

Would you guys do a 3rd for Knox? I think I would. Maybe we can do Nate Washington and a 4th for Knox.. that would be a dream. Britt - Knox - Williams - Mariani could be a solid rotation for yeaaaaaaaaaaars.
