still a free agent....wish we would just get him. *update it looks like he is going to sign http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=5420050
Theres a reason hes still a free agent, hes old, injury prone, and washed up. If we ended up signing him we would take touches away from the younger guys that will really end up helping this team down the road. No thank you.
I would sign him for the first 4 games and then let him ride the bench and give him a ring for all of the years he put in.
he would only take touches away if he is thrown the ball. he would only be thrown the ball if he was open. he'd only be open if he was on the field instead of the younger players. he'd only be on the field instead of younger players if he out performs them. if he outperforms the younger players the team is better off having him on the field. yes, it would just be awful if he was on the team, was better than the younger players who can't beat him out, and thus made the team better. I'd take him if he helped during the first four games, then worry about what role he serves after that.
If we signed Coles poor Clowney would end up killing himself. I mean we could always sign him and use him mostly for the first 4 games, then just plug him in on those rare 4 and 5 WR formations. But I really doubt he would want to go somewhere where he KNOWS hes not gonna avg more than 5 snaps a game.
Your post is once again proof positive as to why an IQ test should be mandatory before letting just anyone create a thread.
They can sign him to a vet's minimum and tell him if he performs well in the first 4 weeks good... otherwise when Holmes get's back he's cut. I'd be ok with that. I love unproven players but we'll have to beat the Ravens through the air and Coles can still catch a pass or two...

I would actually be on board with getting Coles. He was our number 1 receiver just a little more than a year ago. He caught a TD pass against us in the playoffs last year. He could come in a be our 3rd receiver for the first 4 weeks and then just be quality depth for the rest of the year.
Why continue to beat a dead horse? Coles got what he wanted when we let him leave last year. Tanny knew he was over the hill for the price he was asking. But the Bungles didn't and signed him to some good money. Thanks for the years of service Coles but you sir are just about done. Besides, a 4th or 5th WR needs to contribute to the team in other ways. I don't see Coles ever playing on special teams. Stick with the younger, versitile guys
The thing is I just don't feel like were in desperate need of his services. Sure hes a good leader and would be a good mentor for the younger receivers on this team but he would also be taking up a roster spot. After the first 4 games I can see his role being reduced significantly and it would already be a small role during the first 4 games. I loved Coles when he was on the team but I would much rather give a younger guy the opportunity to prove himself in those first 4 games in case we are unable to keep all 3 of the big receivers after next season. We already know Coles will probably be pretty decent, he'll just be much slower then he used to be. Not only that but this man just needs to retire. Hes suffered enough hard hits and I wish he would call it a career before he takes a hit and suffers permanent damage from it.
Seeing as how the team was considering T.O I would say they arnt as comfortable as most of you guys with our WR's for the first 4 games... I can see it happening
Coles Or we could not sign him and just use scrubs like Edwards, Cotchery, Keller, Smith, Clowney, LT, McKnight, and someone guy Holmes in week 5. I do no freaking get why people insist on replacing Holmes for the first 4 weeks. He is an addition, we did not have him last year and we did not lose any receivers. So come week 5 we get a bonus. We do not need to add another fucking receiver.
