Walters is gone. Lockette is replacement level as a WR. Richardson may not even play a down in 2015. Kearse is probably a rental.
Right now, our WR corps might as well begin and end at Baldwin, Kearse, Matthews and Norwood. That's a slot WR who will probably be forced outside because of Graham, a guy who's good at the deep ball but suspect in other areas, a guy who had one good game, and a low upside / high floor youngster who's barely played. Jennings would arguably be the best WR on our team.
Sure, Seattle can and should draft more WRs this year. But Seattle has a dearth of experience at WR and drafting 2 more this year will only make it worse. In the short term, Seattle could use a veteran.
Jennings was released, so he wouldn't count against Seattle's comp picks. Clearly, this has been a theme for JS in the past but especially this year. He tries to protect his comp picks by doing trades and targeting released players.
JS was head of player personnel (top ranking non-GM) in Green Bay when they drafted Jennings. Seattle makes sense.
I'm guessing some other team will give Jennings a $5 million one year prove it deal. But if he's cheap, like say $2 million, Seattle should consider it. We need good route runners and Jennings is one of the better ones. 31 years old, probably has a year or two left.
Not expecting him to be the guy he was, but if he can be the WR equivalent of what Kevin Williams was last year, that's a move Seattle should make.
