I have a theory on what is going on.

The NFL moved up the time that teams are allowed to sign undrafted free agents with no notice. This caught a lot of teams by surprise. If you notice some teams have 20 plus UFAs signed and others have like two or three (us). One NFC GM said he even had gone home for the evening in order to get an early start on a busy next day (may have been Allen - they didn't say).

The plot thickens - according to the new CBA teams now are required to bring 90 players to camp! That is way up from last year. To make a long story short, I think the teams that got caught napping on the UFAs are going to be in need of bodies to fill out there camp. So we figured why not bring in several players and let them compete. I do not look at this as an overhaul of the wr position. Just a free for all to see who sticks.

The fact we traded for Gafney gives him the leg up (albeit for a player we were going to probably cut anyway) but I think we keep either him or Stallworth and stick with the youngsters. I really hope we don't get rid of Banks! He gives us a dimension that we haven't had since B Mitchel.
