Brandon Lloyd is said to be bi-polar...

“I know you’ve heard he was good in the building, but he wasn’t necessarily an angel in the building,’’ said the Broncos source. “He wasn’t a good teammate. During games, he was asking the stat person to see how many catches and yards he had at that point in the game when [Kyle] Orton was starting.

“He has that locker room lawyer-type in him. Publicly he’ll say all the right things, but in the locker room he’ll voice his opinion.

“He’s extremely intelligent. Very articulate, very well-read, but there were times when people in the building thought he may be bipolar - and not joking - because he has days where he’s up and ready to go and happy-go-lucky and he’s like, ‘Hey, what’s up? How’s it going?’

“And then there were other days when he was surly and moody, and you just know it’s not a good day to approach him.

“He’s kind of a different cat, I’ll say that.’’

Why would you put your 1 deep threat in the slot?

Lloyd can stretch the field. He just didn't in NE's dink'n'dunk offense. Maybe he wouldn't here, but he's a better outside receiver than Donnie Avery either way. Surely you don't think Baldwin plays ahead of Avery in the slot?

I think it's Baldwin vs Avery for WR2 and neither one plays the slot.

IMO, Baldwin was drafted to be Bowe's replacement. However, he hasn't developed and Bowe was just inked to a 5 year deal. Baldwin's place on this team is slowly fading.

Dumping Lloyd and Welker in the same offseason is not going to have good results.

And they dumped Woodhead. LMAO

Tom Brady don't care. They've always done this. They still have the 2 TE's and whatever WR's they throw in there will look a lot better than they are.

Lloyd is said to be a locker room cancer and a "me" guy. He's been on five teams in the past five years. And he'll be 32 in July.

Pass.

I'll take a pass on Lloyd...

We dont need all of his weirdo idiosyncracies in the lockerroom
He's old
Has never been fast
Has a well earned rep for dropping easy catches

Lets just draft a talented young player or pick one up in free agency and stay away from guys who cant seem to stick ANYWHERE.

ed* dane beat me to it

Was he in San Fran before or after Alex Smith?

He's a pretty good receiver IMO, but if he's a head case then no thanks.

Looks like they only played together Smith's rookie year.
