Holy crap! I didn't believe it would happen. I am kinda of indifferent on this one. I will wait until I see the money before I give you my reaction.

I do think the Penny and Cole connection can only help.

I can't believe this. The only thing I've read or heard is that he is visiting with the Buffalo Bills today.

Nice find. " Pennington throws across the middle... Touchdown Coles!. Two two former jets hook up for another touchdown against their old team." The season can't come soon enough

Not sure if I like this signing... I'll wait to see the numbers.

No surprised of the mixed reaction from fans... Same thing when Pennington arrived.

If true, I like the signing, Coles should help open our pass game even more.

Great pickup. Hopefully we can find a big receiver in the draft, but we should be pretty good at receiver next year. Better than last year at least.

#1 Coles
#2 Ginn
#3 Camarillo
#4 Bess

Just need that big guy.

Hope they didn't trow a bunch of $ at him. I think he's a better option than Harrison, as far as productivity.

+1^^. I dont get it. Maybe he came relatively cheap. Because if we paid him any real $$.... well I just dont get it. I know hes a Parcells guy, but hes on the down side of his carreer and we're rebuilding. Oh well, I hope he can be productive and prove me wrong. The way Chad did. but I dont like it.:pity: Whos gone now? London? Wilford?(I hope)..

Nothing to do with it man... If this was a few years ago, I would be happy about it. But he's getting older and isn't as talented as he once was. The contract numbers will be key in determining If I like this deal... It doesn't matter where he comes from.

I would certainly welcome the addition, but it just isn't true. I don't see anything, no blurb, nothing anywhere on the Internet right now.

11-5 is rebuilding?

we are a few positions away from being a consistant contender......

coles brings veteran leadership and outstanding chemistry with our quaterback....why not welcome that with open arms?

I only listen to ESPN radio on important days like today, so I hope they are reliable. He's not 6-3 like I would of hoped, but if it's true, he should improve what we have and help the younger guys learn the position.

I love it. I don't care how tall he is. He's now our best receiver. I don't even think there is a debate. He's 32, so there's plenty of gas left in the tank.

His double-moves have killed us for years!

Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

I'd much rather have Coles than Harrison in this point of their careers.

Whoa...Try again. Coles is often seen as being reclusive with his team. He is a complainer. Far from a leader. I like the guy, but he is what he is.

Who is a better option than a guy that has great chemistry with Chad Pennington? Find me that young guy outside of the draft that you would want that would be better?

I would still love to get Kenny Britt in the 2nd round, but this is a good pickup. You mix in some seasoned vets with the young guys. Our Wr's had no vets wr to talk to last year unless it was Wilford bringing them water.
