No way we or anyone else would get 4 new WR and especially these ones lol. I want to see more of Rod Streater, Brice Butler and Andre Holmes. We know what we have with Moore and Ford, they both are just average and wouldn't really care if they re-signed or left TBH. They can stick around for depth just not as starters. But we do for sure need to add a couple more.
