    Why not sign Buress now. I think he is as good as Cotchery. Is there any talk about this?

    I thought I read he was already under contract....thought he signed a two year deal last year.

    It was a one year deal. He's a free agent.

    I figured I was wrong since everything I was reading was saying its just Brown and unproven youth.

    Because he's not as good as Cotchery, and he's turning 37 years old before this season.

    THIS. No point in trying to go younger only to keep a 37 year old receiver coming off an injury

    Just say no!

    I will be shocked if we don't suck in 2014. Just accept it and get this rebuild/transition over with.

    Nah, just give the roster spot to Moye or J. Brown and see how they grow from 3-5 snaps/game like Plax would get. I've always liked Plaxico, but it's time to move on from him. Let our young guys play.

    I agree. The more we commit to rebuilding, the more likely that Ben will still be an asset by the time the rest of the team is championship quality again.

    I was in favor of bringing back Plax the first time but not now, missed to much football. I can't see him giving us anything more then Moye or J Brown could.

    I wouldn't sign Plax older players tend to get injured more often, time to move on.

    A quick Google search will get you to the Patriots or maybe Seattle's message board. Those guys probably won't suck. Seriously though, it's March....relax.
