Anyone For Hakeem Nicks?

[NJRamsFan]

Now that the dust has settled, and the initial race to overpay free agents is over, Anyone in favor of signing Hakeem Nicks?

The concerns are obvious, injury history etc...But the Rewards could outweigh that. Perhaps a change of scenery would do wonders for Nicks who is still young (26) and has shown he can be dominant. There are times I've been watching giants games and thought "this guy is the best in the league", unfortunately those times are too few and far between but he is a #1 wideout nonetheless. Nicks commands the respect of Defenses, he's someone teams have to game plan.

I think if we can get him on a incentive based contract it would be a good move for the rams.

Thoughts?

I would not be against it. Him or Jones. It sort of precludes drafting a WR though.
I don't expect the Rams to sign a WR. I am thinking a CB, second tier G maybe a LB.
if they go after a WR either guy is fine with me.

 

[mr.stlouis]

No!

Quick and Givens are total studs... and stuff.

I'm not huge on Nicks at this point. But like anything else, I'd hope that the Rams do their due diligence and kick the tires.

 

[blackbart]

For the right price I could see them taking a look.

 

[Mister Sin]

I am HUGE on Nicks. If he is healthy, he is hands down a top 5, true number one in my eyes. Huge hands, makes the good catches. YAC

Gotta kind of use that cap money up. Might as well sign a couple guys for depth on 1 year contracts. While I don't want to take snaps away from a developmental guy, he could be a nice addition.

He sent a letters to all 32 teams from Dr. Andrews saying his knee was fine, and he is open to a 1 year "prove it" deal. I'm down for him. Would not mind one bit grabbing him.

I'm sick and tired of "development" this team has been full of "development" players for years and we fucking suck. I'm ready to do what needs to be done. If u lose on a guy, fine, structure the contract so we can part ways if need be

We don't suck, sucking was during those 2-14 years we're just not great especially without Bradford.

The thing about contracts is both parties have to agree to the deal. I would be astonished if the Rams have not been working trying to sign some of the guys already gone.

It is getting better and there is only 6 more months until we see meaningful games.

Beats drafting a wideout!

Beats drafting a wideout!

exactly, thats part of my thought process. We get a potentially dominant wideout and can focus on O line and the secondary in the draft

Beats drafting a wideout!

I agree totally!!!!!

 

[Boffo97]

I've long been on record as saying we should only add a wide receiver IF AND ONLY IF he can be a #1. That rule applies whether said WR comes from the draft or FA... though I'd prefer a rookie over a veteran with an injury history.

 

[Warner4Prez]

I'd rather roll the dice on Kenny Britt, but I'd like to see them bring in a WR regardless.
