    WR Donnie Avery ?

    Cut by Rams. Supposedly Bills are one of a couple teams looking at him. Anyone have ESPN Insider ?

    Out for 2010 with a knee injury. Made a couple of nice catches in his last pre-season game. 5-11 184 and a former 4.27 burner. Rams 2nd round pick in 2008 out of Houston. Has 100 catches for 1200 + yards and 8 TD's in his career.

    Hmmm...

    I'm intrigued. Not sure who they'd cut though. The obvious answer would be Ruvell Martin, but then again Ruvell Martin was also an obvious bet NOT to make the 53 man roster, so who knows? I think Chan likes Martin as a STer as well, and I'm not sure Avery has any experience in that department.

        As I said on Twitter when somebody proposed this;

        You aren't going to sign Avery and cut Martin, he has too much ST value for this team. If you sign Avery you're cutting Jones more than likely.

          Agreed. I thought Jones also. It seemsed they wanted speedy Buster Davis to make an impact but he couldn't catch the ball at all. So the search for another burner continues.

          Which makes one wonder why they moved Evans, when he wasn't costing much anymore ? Did he ask for a trade ?

          Whatever. Can't hurt to kick the tires...unless it puts him on IR..

              Jones was good in his own right on ST last season, main reason he stuck around early in the year.

                    Avery has Lee Evans' size and speed, without the productivity.

                    He'll fit right in.
                    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                      I don't know why everyone is so high on Jones to be quite honest. I like the kid and think he has talent, but I wouldn't be upset if we dropped him to add Avery with the potential that Avery has. Watched him play in college and loved him coming out of the draft. If he's healthy, he's got the kind of speed we don't have in the receiving corps after Evans left.

                        It was also a head-scratcher when the pick was announced.

                            Stevie may actually have a chance to be considered the best WR in that draft if he can continue to get better.

                              Did I miss anyone worthwhile in that draft as a WR?
