Just saw on twitter Adam Scheffter reports bungholes cut him and took an 8 mil loss. Should we look at him????? Also L Coles was cut by jets
The guy can't stay healthy. We've already got one of those. Plus Galloway seems to be having a good camp and has shown that he can still run by guys. I say we pass.

Don't forget Terrance Toliver from LSU or that 6'5" guy from Pittsburgh.
Jonathan Baldwin is the one from Pittsburgh. I reviewed sum of his tape after i initially read a mock draft for us gettin him next year. He has alot of high points but he doesnt seem to be very physical. If there is a corner right there with him going up for a ball he kinda just gives up. Hopefully he gets better with it this year. A sleeper WR pick in the draft is gonna be Greg Little, WR out of North Carolina. This guy might be the 2nd coming of Terrell Owens. Dunno if thats good or not but he is def a gamer. Has a ridiculous competitive edge and attacks the ball in the air. We will see what happens.

I was reading about Bryant - failed drug test, a couple of years of injuries... Per Wikipedia (the most reliable source of info) - he had a lawsuit to get them to stop drug testing him. Great. Then he had a spat with TO for the jersey number (#81) in training camp..
Anyway, I just feel this looks too ridiculous for Cincy - there's an obvious huge RED flag. Maybe his injury is worse than we know, maybe another failed drug test, some other club incident.. I don't know. When things are too good to be true - there is something fishy going on. Haynesworth would have to kill someone for us to part ways with him after $21 million this year. I just wonder what's wrong with Bryant.

Greg Little is also a monster as well, So there are 5 or 6 sure 1st rounders coming in the draft at WR (Not to mention speedy Ryan Broyles from OU as a sleeper slot Eddie Royal type)

If he's healthy enough to play wk 1 sign him... Bryant is a decent #1, whose better than any of our WR's we have now, plus Allen wanted to bring him in anyway.
Opening Day WR's
1. Bryant X
2. Thomas Z
3. Moss Y
4. Armstrong
5. Kelly
6. Banks
You can dump Kelly at this point. We paid him similarly to what the Bengals did with Bryant. Except ours was over a 2 1/2 year period. We got nothing out of a 2nd round pick.

You can forget that then. This guy is bad news!!!!!!

Opening day starter? This isn't like basketball or baseball where you can simply plug and play. Hypothetically if we signed him it would take at least 4 weeks to get up to speed on the offense.
I doubt it would take very long at all. Plus we are 3 weeks out right now. He played in Tampa while Kyle Shanahan was there ...most likely when KS was the WR's coach so he should know him and how good he can be.

I just don't see Shanny bringing a guy off the street who hasn't spent one day in practice nor learing the system when all he preaches is, "if you don't practice you don't play." Would he really spend all summer going back and forth with Haynesworth, chief diva, and bring in a headcase like Bryant who has practiced only once for $8 mil? Wouldn't that just be rosey?
No chance Bryant or any other warmed over body (see Vince Jackson) who hasn't spent this summer in a Redskins uniform practing. The only thing I see forcing Shanny's hand is an injury to somone like Santana Moss. Otherwise I think he's rolling with the crew he's got right now.
You'd be correct except I believe Bryant worked with K.Shanahan while in Tampa. I would imagine if KS wants him then dad will make sure he gets him. It wouldn't be a situation where they are bringing in someone they don't know or doesn't sorta know the system.
