[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 954442, member: 6578"] Listing out all the various "realistic" FA options [B][U]Free Agents:[/U] Jarvis Landry[/B] - I've crossed his name off my list and suspect Gute has as well given what it is rumored he thinks he needs to be paid, and he operates mainly out of the slot - we need that outside help.

[B]DeSean Jackson[/B] - His depth of targets and yards per catch last year were incredible, and while he would purely be a deep threat role like MVS once was early in his career...on a cheap deal ($2M deal last year) this addition could be smart for Gute to do.
