I can't see that trade working out unfortunately. Shockey was a 1 yr deal and Olsen is Carolina's foreseeable future at TE.
But I would trade Knox + 1st rd pick to move up in the draft to get a Blackmon, Flyod or Jeffery. Would probably need to move up to 10-15 range to get one of them.
Knox is 100% to even play again. He shouldnt be in ANY of our plans in the near future.
It's impossible to get Blackmon because the Rams will select him with their 2nd pick overall. Jeffery is a Top 10 pick and that's why Michael Floyd is probably the only big name WR the Bears could land in the first round.Quote:

As much as I'd like Blackmon we're probably not gonna get him. We need more than a drafted wr a vet WR like Jackson if he's affordable or something comparable. Knox could have been developed more but having Drake as wr coach is a hinderance. With Drake still here any drafted wr have a extra hurdle to overcome.
@ littlebear, i think we are on the same page in relation to knox.
@sfb, i want a vet too, but i would like to see a rookie with a better skill set than what we currently have. We need a clean slate at wr, besides Bennett, and if we could get both Floyds, I'd be happy.
Oops, I read "he should" instead of "he shouldn't"... Sorry. ^^Quote:

Bowe, Floyd, Bennett, Jenkins. We would be set for years at WR. :lol-027:
