Not a great thing to bring up. He had a knee injury in '09 season against the Jets... after that he caught 800 yards in 2010, 275 yards in 2011, and gone in 2012.

I'm sure his regression had nothing to do with age.

That, and in 2010 TO was on the other side taking a lot of targets away. This was also at the height of the Ocho era.
2011: He couldn't learn the Pats playbook.
2012 : Cut from Pats because he still couldn't learn the playbook. Then, cut from Dolphins for off-field incident.

Breaston would be a great value IMO. He's only 29, he has good height (6'1") and he'd be very affordable.

Todd Haley will probably make a run at him, but I think we should consider making him an offer.

Here's his stats:

2008: 77-1006-3
2009: 55-712-3
2010: 47-718-1
2011: 61-785-2
2012: 7-74-0

For whatever reason, he was phased out of KC's offense last year, but he's proven he can ball in this league. Thoughts?

Looks like he was and is still hurt. Knee surgery on the horizon for Mr. Breaston. A lot of these guys loo great on paper, then when they are signed, they flop. No thanks now that we know he has knee issues.

We as fans want a legit #2 veteran WR to run opposite AJ.

A few nights ago on 700WLW's sportstalk (Dan Hoard subbing for Lance) J Gruden said he was impressed with the way MJones progressed and came on strong at the end of the season, and is looking forward to this season with MJones breaking out.

Which in turn, if you read between the lines, says: Don't expect any big name FA WRs or draft picks. We're happy with what we got...

How can a coach speak of a fictitious player? Read between what lines? He commented on players he has under contract right now. He may want Mike Wallace, but why would he speak about Mike Wallace now?

2. Lots of smokescreens this time of year. Never trust anything said before the draft.

You guys are both right about the smokescreens this time of year. I ALWAYS get caught up this this because of thirsting for any Bengals news.

I don't remember it being his knee. I think it was an ankle...
