Not saying we -will- sign one, just saying.. which one, likely to be on the open market, would you most prefer.
For me.. I can't help but wonder how good this offense would look with a Greg Jennings or Dwayne Bowe in the fold.

Give the dude a chance and don't overreact or overthink preseason. Go Hawks. Lacy will rush for 1,100 and 10TDs. Bend the knee.

Yeah I know that this guy's apparent "me first" attitude is a bit of a red flag, but we all know that Pete has a long history of success with these guys.

Welker is the best slot WR in the NFL, he'd be an enormous upgrade over Baldwin. He is very hard to defend, and can get open at will. He's even a deep threat.
I'd be very surprised if New England let him hit UFA, but if they did, I'd love to see Seattle schedule him a visit.

Wilson won't have to scramble to buy nearly as much time with Welker out there. Guy is the best slot WR in the NFL and possibly the greatest possession receiver of all time. And he's not shown any signs of letting up.

And I don't understand the comments that his success at NE is only due to their system.
The dude knows how to get open... period... and his YAC is pretty damn good as well.
Hell, I just went and researched his YAC... and he led the league the past two years in total yards after the catch.
If he's available, sign him to at least a 2-year contract.
ProckHawks wrote:Wallace! We don't have anybody on this team thats like Wallace. He's big, fast, pretty good hands can help keep plays alive when Wilson scambles. I could pitcure him giving us 10 plus TD's, most coming of play action. If he asks for to much. PASS on him and the rest. DB is to much like Rice. Welker and Jennings are to old. PASS

onanygivensunday wrote:So what you're saying is the Hawks are mis-using Tate. Interesting.
It would be fun to have endless game film on Welker... and also on Tate... and overlap one image on top of the other while they are both running the same route.
My guess is if we were able to do that, Welker's league-leading success in catches and YAC would be obvious.
Just a hunch.

Wilson just has to trust him to make plays. Rice cleaned up with Favre cos Favre would just throw it to him. Wilson prefers to play it safer.
Look at Favre mic'd up talking about Rice:

I think we need a big, physical, fast receiver. I say pick one up in the draft and let him develop. We'll probably have a healthy Baldwin next year.
All that said, Wes Welker would be a great add for a couple seasons. The dude just gets open. He'd be awesome with a scrambling QB like Wilson.
