Meh. I've never thought Seattle's problems were wide receiver driven.

Could be a good stop gap signing, draft isn't great for WR's this year. Guy is still quite good when healthy.

I have. At least at times. Still deciding whether Jordy is the solution or not, but good receivers give the QB somewhere to go with the ball and help the OL protect him. Bad receivers help get a QB sacked.

Definitely a good stop gap. Wouldn’t mess up our comp picks. We can’t outbid San Fran but who knows maybe they really want him for garopolo

Small receivers lose blocking assignments. We are switching to a more short yardage offense. Blocking is helpfull in any situation.

If they can't trade for Martavis Bryant and his $700k cap hit, then Nelson for 1 year $3M would be fine.

We have two RBs under contract and two TEs under contract with plenty of WRs under contract.

Better have a plan if we're adding another WR.

I expect the 49ers to outbid Seattle because the NFL knows they can outbid Seattle by offering more than 35 cents, but sometimes I wonder, with all due respect, if you're just trolling people with all the confidence you have in our remaining pass-catchers.

Doug Baldwin (double-covered now)
Tyler Lockett (lost a step)
Amara Darboh
Tanner McEvoy
David Moore
Cyril Grayson

Luke Willson
Nick Vannett
Tyrone Swoopes

That's one of those 2009-2011 situations that gets people going "Can we have an actual playmaker?"

I like Nelson; he's been great when healthy. I wouldn't spend what he'll probably get, and signing him would definitely test the "He's only good with Aaron Rodgers" theory.

Nelson is 6'3, 220. Hardly small.

I wouldn't hate having him at a logical price.

That was my point. We have small receivers. We could use larger ones.

He's visiting the Raiders and interested in the Patriots, according to various reports.
