Could we use A.Johnson or A .Boldin?

I just saw that both of them are still without a team,I wouldn't mind seeing one sign with the Hawks.

A year or two ago yes, now, no thanks.

Think we are pretty set at WR..although Boldin fits the team in a sense. Stay young!

Boldin on the Hawks I find kind of intriguing. It would be more intriguing if Graham ends up on the IR with a week 8 designation to return.

Also, oddly, although their games are entirely different the way the Hawks use ADB and would be best served using Boldin is a bit redundant.

I would love Boldin, but not at the expense of taking reps away from Lockett and Richardson.

Agree with Popeye though that Baldwin/Boldin on the same team is pretty redundant.

Johnson is out of juice.

Though I am a big fan of Boldin and his game lends itself to aging well; I'd always be in favor of having Anquan on any squad.

I suppose we "could" use one of them, but why? We're one of the youngest teams in the league and we're in the playoffs every year, with 2 SB trips under our belt. Why bring in a couple of old guys that would just take reps from our own guys. It's not like we need anyone from outside to bring in "playoff experience" or "super bowl winning attitude."

I don't see a huge upside to this idea.

Couldn't everyone use a. johnson?

:lol: :lol: :lol: I knew I should have just gone by the last names.Anyway I didn't say I wanted either but hey they are both strong and tall WR's that I could see being used in certain situations.I would take Boldin he's an NFC guy who is a gamer that doesn't rely on speed.

I really enjoyed watching AJ in Houston.

I'd like to remember him that way.

I'll never forget the day he took it to Courland Finnegan.

There's no point bringing in a veteran to serve as a 4th WR as they barely use any 4 receiver sets.

No.

We have good system guys entering their primes as starters. Lockett is just flat better than either of those two and he's the clear successor to one of Baldwin/Kearse when they move on.

We have youth at the ready in the 5th/6th options. And with this team, whomever is the 4th/5th receiver absolutely is going to have to contribute on special teams. Neither vet in question provide any measure of that.

Our WR corps is really quite solid. We're going to be stashing guys we don't want to lose already on the PS.

My wife seems to be allergic...just the mention alone gives her a headache.

I was on a flight from Rome to London with Anquan last week. I didn't say anything to him or anything but I thought if there was a thread to share that in this would be the one.

Boldin seems like a natural seahawk, I don't see how he's not better than Kearse tbh

I don't know why, but I feel like Boldin has always been undervalued, especially considering his production and the fact that he has been successful everywhere he has been.

Rome to London ?

If you can afford that trip, you better get your ass to a game soon.

You're right. Pretty much the same price anyway.

Because the Hawks have such a stellar record when it comes to bringing in big name WR's who are past their prime? If Pete and John think its worth a look, I suppose so, but I'd rather look for young hungry guys than vets who are at or near the end of the line. I view those moves as taking away reps from players who need the experience.

Baldwin, Kearse and Lockett are our starters and I see neither of these guys pushing one of our starters out of the rotation. Not to mention we already have strong depth pushing for playing time like PRich and Kasen.
