Could we please get V.Jackson!

What a get it would be! I don't think it would cost much as he is aging especially with $10 million/year contract. We can now afford his salary with PH gone and next years salary is non-guaranteed so if it doesn't work out, let him go. But we need a big receiver on this team and he would be a perfect fit into the offense. Lets do this!!

Can we get Matt Forte too?

Well, we could have. A bunch of us on these boards were begging to draft him a few years ago. But, we decided he would have been a luxury because of the FA acquisition of the incomparable Julius Jones. Tim Ruskell dude. Tim Ruskell.

Because the last time we traded for a big name receiver it worked out swimmingly

Is he available, or is this just blind wishing because the Bucs suck?

The Bucs aren't going to let Jackson go. Maybe trade a 5th for Clinton McDonald?

I want Seattle to be banned from ever trading for a wide receiver again.

I hear that. They certainly have a poor track record.

I wonder what T.J. Houshmandzadeh is up to. They ended up paying him some unreal amount to play for someone else.

No, we cannot have V. Jackson. But, I'm sure we could acquire V. Stiviano.

No Vincent Jackson is not what we need. We need a true burner with beast in the backfield.

Therefore every future big-name receiver we trade for will be horrible. Just like we've had horrible luck drafting a franchise quarterback, and so all of our quarterbacks are destined to suck.

You lose 100% of the battles you don't fight. Trying is fighting. Some you lose, but some you win. This goes for big-name receivers too.

Also, of note, there are 32 teams in the NFL. How many of them have a true big-name receiver? A handful? Can't fault the front office for trying, no matter what the odds are.

VJax is a burner.

32 year old receiver that is in the largest monetary portion of his contract.

This, and do they have any o-linemen that don't suck too?

I was just thinking, is there an over hyped wide Receiver that has never really made a difference to a team available?

I may not know his name right now but I will say "hoooosh" every time he makes a four yard catch on second and eight for us next year
