Just out of curiosity, what makes you think he is/can be a very good receiver? It's not as if Philly's receivers have been great in years past. That's why they spent first and second round picks on them in the last two drafts.

He's big, strong and physical. At 6'4, 220 pounds he'd cause all kinds of matchup problems. When they've thrown the ball his way, he's responded.

I also tend to believe that a coach like Todd Haley would really challenge the guy and make him improve. He and Bowe in the Red Zone could be a great combo.

That being said, I wouldn't give up much. Next year's 7th and at most, next year's 6th. You're right - there's a good chance he'll be cut but I'm not sure he makes it past either team.

But in my mind, there's no doubt his addition would improve this receiving corp.

He's certainly better than Bradley.
