"Former Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets wide receiver Jericho Cotchery will be working out for the St. Louis Rams, along with Jerome Simpson. Steelers free agent backup quarterback Dennis Dixon will be throwing to them, according to Adam Caplan. "
Interesting to say the least. I'd love to add all 3. Dixon is a nice backup and adds a dimension we haven't really had at QB, a running threat.
Simpson is young, but smokes weed. not a bad thing tbh look at ricky williams.
What I don't understand is why guys can't drop the weed for their playing career. They do stand to lose some substantial money over it, and they can smoke as much as they want after they retire.
Although frankly none of those guys inspires much for me, but not much left until the draft either.
He got cuaght with 20lbs, i think he was doing a little more than smoking... Or someone in his house wasQuote:

Ramming speed to all

So last year we had a hard time scoring near the goal line... we can just give it to simpson and have him flip over the blockers... of all of them i would like cotchery he shined in Shotty's system so it would give him an edge in our training camp WR battle
Not bad of whats left... Dixon could be interesting Simpson has talent he could spring board and be a #2 WR if he gets his Stuff together!!
He was selling weed that's for sure. How bad a crime that is up to the judges. Personally I'm one of those people who could careless if weed was legal or not. Alcohol is obviously far more dangerous yet still is legalQuote:

It was 2.5 pounds that was being shipped to his house.
Totally agree, would love all three additions.Quote:

So, did the visits take place yet ? Cotchery and Dixon sound good...Jerome Simpson you can have...we already have DX for a tall wirely speed guy
The difference between Jerome and DX is Jerome can stay healthy and has actually produced a full seasons body of work.Which DX doesnt seem to be able to do,potential can only take you so far.Its a production league and DX can consistently produce point blank.Quote:

our receiving corps would look so much better with the acquisition of Simpson and Blackmon.
