    Hagan? Seriously? I like promoting Aiken, but wtf... This team is 100% screwed because of injuries.

        Didn't we have enough mediocre WRs already?
        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?

          Ex Fish, ex Giant, and was signed by the Raiders this season, was a free agent, has pedestrian stats... He's pointless on this team unless he's filling in for Terrence.

            If it means Ruvell 'I'm wasting a spot on the roster' Martin doesn't see the field at wide-out, I'm all for it.

              I would like to see Martin on the field at WR. Let him sink or swim. He has only gone underwater twice, he has a third time in him, then the Bills can cut bait on him.

                Yes, but suggest an alternative...
                "'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

                  A backup offensive lineman?

                  Hell, at this stage, I'd say that promoting Jasper would be a better move... at least he's been on the practice squad and is familiar with the team...

                      I don't think the position of need is in doubt. We NEED a WR or too, based on our injuries. My question was - assuming we need a receiver, make a suggestion for one we can get who isn't second rate at this point.

                        Stevie is banged up, Jones is on IR, Nelson got banged up, Easley and Parrish are on IR, Freddy is banged up so Spiller needs to focus on just RB right now...all the more reasons to bring in 2 receivers. Aiken knows the system and Hagan may never make the game day roster...but he can start learning just in case we need him. I liked him coming out of college, but his pro career has been a flop so far.

                          Fair enough. I won't argue that WR is a position of need... But, OLine is a need as well (granted, it's been a need since the late 90's but who's counting?).

                          I find it kind of odd that Hagan's best game this season was against the Bills (week 2, he was on the Raiders). Had 5 catches for 61 yards.

                          I would agree that you're probably right... We're not going to find a bona-fide star at WR at this stage of the game... But, I would also ask, why not simply use Ruvell Martin more? He's already on the roster...

                          If Martin isn't better than Hagan, that's fine too... But, then, get rid of Martin and get someone that is going to be more of a contributor at this stage.

                          I'm not against them signing two WR's, per se... Just saying, if it were me, I would have promoted two of "my guys" off of the practice squad.

                            O-Line is less of a need atm - unless there was a half decent center available.
                            Bell is close to being fit, Hairston is. We already have a back up guard in Brown.
                            Urbik can probably play center well enough, with Levitre and Rinehart at guard.

                            TBH, I'm interested to see what Aiken can do, as he's a 'like for like' replacement for Jones imho. Hagan has at least played this season, and is probably going to be a slot guy.

                            I'm not sure where Martin would fit in in respect of need tbh. What I do know, is that he's make a good number of plays on STs, and at this stage of proceedings, is probably worth hanging on to for that. While he might not be much use as a WR, he has shown up well on STs.
