And Gibbs is obviously quite interested in speed at receiver. Given that parameter, who would you replace Coles with if you didn't get Santana Moss? Plax? Not fast enough. Derrick Mason? He's quick, but getting older and will slow down soon.

You can't just talk about let's get this guy, let's get that guy, let's get whoever. You have to target players that fit into Gibbs' vision of what the team should look like. I for one trust his vision more than anyone else's. I think Santana Moss fits into that vision better than any FA receiver out there, and much better than Coles with a bum toe.

Agreed. If Coles was FA, then I can bet the house that Parcells/Jones would've been all over him.
