Rumor:Coles signes 3 year deal with Miami | Coles to Cincy

They are all just as old if not older. And would want more money.

PS

Its not official Its a rumor.

 

Coles is a liberal too

 

Added Rumor to the Title until we can confirm it.

 

for a "over the middle slot wr" being compared to bess and camarillo? it is....

 

Odd how this is reported on espn radio, but not espn.com.

I'm finding no valid confirmation.

 

well said Sick

 

constantly

 

Everytime someone else breaks a big story.

 

Rotoworld has it that he's visiting with the Bills

It would be silly for anyone not to like this signing IMO. WR is the one position everyone can agree that is seriously lacking depth. Now you sign a guy who is very familiar with Chad (not to mention he always KILLS us). Good stuff.

EDIT: When and if it becomes official, of course.

 

He had 850 yards last year.

He had 646 the year before.

He has had 1 1,000 yard season in his last 5 years.

Camarillo had 610 yards before he went down after 10 games.

Bess had 550 yards.


Coles averaged 12 yards per catch, Camarillo averaged 11.

Coles is 31.

I do not love this signing.

 

Not that I'm arguing the signing, but I think we have decent depth at receiver, especially if we draft one.

 

We should give the Coles money to Juan Huron. No doubt about it!

 

from your keyboard to gods ears.....

 

Neither love it or hate it. I'm a bit lukewarm about it. Coles production hasn't been mind boggling - not a helluvalot better than anyone we have now except a few more TDs. He's not a great YAC guy and he's not a big red zone target. So, I question how big a help he will be to us other than the chemistry between him and Chad.

 

Define decent. The playoff game against Baltimore was embarassing. How many receivers did we dress in that game? Three?

 

Ginn, Bess, & London.

Then Bess went down for a little while leaving us with two.

 

Good argument. Alls I know is that, with my own two eyes, I've seen Miami get KILLED by Coles. Maybe he is done, but I doubt it.

 

even tho we went 11-5, yes we are still rebuilding. And no we are not a few players away from being a consistant contender. but thats just my opinion.

 

Ginn, Cammarillo, and Bess are all players that are developing nicely. If we draft a receiver that gives us four (hopefully) solid players with a nice project who's shown some potential in London.

 

you dont really believe that do you???

 

hmm maybe we should be upgrading OUR CBs instead??

 

yes I do..

 

I absolutely believe the thread starter heard it, but I'm not seeing it anywhere else except on message boards.

 

then why would be be re-signing our current players and just trying to add a few to mix in and make our team solid? dont trust our FO ? obviously they think we are a few players away....or else we wouldnt be keeping these guys

 

I think people underestimate the use of a veteran receiver as a mentor on the field and in the locker room. Who do our young guys have right now? Camarillo and Ginn are our most experienced WR.

I still think we will add another receiver in the draft, whether or not we sign Coles. I personally see nothing wrong with the signing if it is in fact true (given we didn't over pay).

 

I like Coles and want him here, but id question a 3 year deal for him anyways.

 

The sig is priceless man. I will never forget that.

 

because we just cant cut everybody every year and have success. Y. Bell and C. Crowder are good players, but not game changers. Don't forget that last year we pretty much gutted the roster. You dont go 1-15, cut your star veteran players, and faces of the franchise (Zach, Taylor). Draft a LT with the first pick in the draft and bring in an entirely new coaching staff, If you arent rebuilding. Yes, we had a great year last year, but IMO we still have holes to fill. Can we be competitive with these guys? Sure. But the Baltimore playoff game made it clear that we still need work. And in my opinion, bringing in a WR passed his prime, with a chronic toe injury, who suffers from concussions and is a known lockerroom cancer, is not the answer. whether we are rebuilding or not. But again thats just my opinion and I guess we can agree to disagree on it.

 

This is like looking for Wayne H's plane on the web site to see where he is?

 

the lions are rebuilding the bucs are rebuilding we are just adding to some spots that are weak..just like any other team.

 

Why would we sign Laveranues coles. It makes no sense. We sign a guy that is an older version of the three wide reciver that we have. I dont know what we gian.

 

We were trying to sign Pace last year too in our first year of rebuilding, so I don't think adding Wilson and resigning our players means that the FO thinks we are thisclose to legit contenders. Ireland (or Sparano) said that we are going to follow the same plan this year that we had last year, to me that means we'll be adding one or two quality FA's and continuing to build through the draft. I think our record last year had alot to do with the easy schedule, we may not equal 11 wins next year, but I wouldn't rule it out.

Short answer, if you're a smart NFL team, you are never done rebuilding.

 

So the rebuilding is done after one year? Because last year we were the definition of "rebuilding". And i dont think we are done.. and i dont think BP and Co. think so either.
