different?

Holmes was a Super Bowl MVP/former 1st round pick who was traded when he was 25 years old...

not sure how that constitutes as...different. Really, in any way.

Different type players, didn't communicate that very well.


But yeah, this could be a similar situation in the end.

Holmes was never a running/No.1WR/KR/MVP threat

he was a 1st round WR that was very productive and won a Super Bowl MVP

I'm not saying he's as good or as valuable as Harvin...but people on this very board were SHOCKED and APPALLED he went for a 5th and we wouldn't offer anything better.

While I could see someone pulling the trigger and trading a 2nd, I think he'll go for a 3rd due to his contract/issues.

Holmes was too high strung for Pioli. I was shocked that he only went for a 5th as well.

I'd be hard pressed not to give up a third for him, dude is such a dynamic playmaker.

I like the idea of Harvin on this team. Not enough for a 2nd, but I'd seriously think about offering our third rounder, especially if we get a compensatory pick at the end of the third.

But I'd also like the idea of having the chance to talk to him first so we can see what his mindset is before pulling that off.

Austin doesn't come with the baggage and already has three years of chemistry with Geno.

I bet he has an impressive combine.

as long as we take Bailey in the 3rd, too

Austin will also cost nearly nothing when Harvin will want PAID.

That obey can be spent elsewhere.

Bowe
Breaston
Austin
Wylie
Baldwin
McCluster

That's a good receiving corps for Geno.

I think we should cut Breaston. Dude is done IMHO.

Tavon Austin is 5'9. Percy Harvin is 5'11. Harvin has proven he can play in the NFL and at a high level. Pay him the money.

But bro, his poetry is amazing.

lets just pump McCluster full of deer antler spray and hope for the best
