Randle El is the receiver we need to pursue (#2 WR discussion - Merged)

[FRPLG]

Everyone is acting like Randle EL is going to command huge money. He isn't. No one sees him as any more than a #2. He'll get good #2 money but it won't be huge. He can return kicks and punts. He causes confusion on the field. You have to account for him on every play. THIS is what we need. There MAY be bigger WRs. There MAY be more polished guys but Randle EL has some intangibles that I think would appeal to Gibbs and would be good to have. I know he is a sexy FA but I think it is based in solid analysis and not just over-hype.
And to those who say we need size. Why? What will size do for us if the guy is a stiff and can't get open? We had enough guys this year who only commanded single coverage and that is why Moss got derailed somewhat. We need a guy that CAN GET OPEN when he has single coverage. I think Robinson could fit but is he a guy Gibbs wants? If forced I would guess no. Moulds? He is clearly a declining player and the type of player Gibbs eschewed last year and even Snyder hasn't gone vet hunting in a while. I think they are both options if they come cheap. To me the guy with the biggest upside is Randle El. He is still learning how to be a WR so one would think he could make some skill improvements still and he offers a lot of other stuff. Getting a guy who can return kicks and punts allows us some flexibility at other positions too. Betts becomes more expendable now that he isn't the backup option at KR. Thrash may become expendable. AB is already gone I am sure. Randle El just seems like such a good fit in a lot of ways.
