I like the Hartline idea he won't be a huge splash but might be too much for Miami to pay. They might also be in the martket for a more splashy WR like Wallace and then let Hartline walk, he seems like he could be a Welker or Stokely type that just gets open and would work well as a saftey net for RW. Bring him in on a 3 or 4 year deal that would allow us to cut him after 2. I believe Tate is a FA after this year and having a guy liek Hartline and a rookie from this draft we would be really flexible in not having to resign Tate.
Not having to resign Tate?
Though Tate is inconsistent at times, he is our most dynamic receiver.
Sidney Rice barely edged him out in leading the team in yards, but if Tate can continue to improve and contribute on a consistent basis there is no doubt in my mind that he'd be the best receiver we have. At times, he is a special player.
I am more concerned (not the right word) about Sidney. He's certainly a solid player, but though he made it through the year alive is still a bit fragile.
Now, I like all of the guys we got, but I still see a need to add more good players with different skill sets.
I don't have a problem acquiring a player like Hartline, but I think if your going to dish out money in free agency Mike Wallace is the guy you target. I understand Wallace would be pricey, but Hartline will get paid a fair chunk as well.
I still think we spend money on the defensive line and look to upgrade are offense in the draft. If we do spend money in free agency, though, Mike Wallace is the guy!
