It does say something about how they really feel about their current wide receiver situation. Of which, other than JC, believe we have a great selection of number 3s with potential. With regard to Marshall's personality. We are dealing with a guy who had over hundred receptions back to back, who then saw his Coach fired, lost his pro-bowl QB, dealt with all of the b.s. that went on in Denver, and is way underpaid. These factors are like adding gasoline to a fire. Especially when you have a "my way or the highway" type Coach. I think just coming here to play with a better QB and more stable environment will help things. Next, you are going to have to sign him. Pay him and he will be happy. Finally, I don't know if it is just about Ryan controlling him or its just the way that Ryan relates to his Players. I think the lines of communication will be well established in that relationship. And really in the end, I think its McDaniels' inability to properly communicate with his stars (even the Divas) that led to these issues with his team. Having said that, I believe he is always going to have character issues but the team chemistry seems too strong to be harmed by that. Besides, Bart Scott would probably keep him in check if he became nusiance. We have strong leaders on this team. I think they believe that they can, they were going to take a shot on Plex.

With Gholston though, I wonder if he is coming along fast enough? I hope he develops, but if we trade him that salary could be used for Marshall. I think he is being paid more than Thomas right now. Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought they were saying that Westerman was going to move ahead of Gholston. I know Gholston is starting for Pace, but if you can eventually get the same production out of Westerman, I think you have to look at it like a business and ship Gholston out. Nothing but conjecture as I sit here waiting for the good news. Browns- maybe Edwards
