Okay. But understand that Steve Breaston had 113 targets in his 1,000 yard season with us, and no less than 82 in the two seasons following.

If you're looking for a free agent with ideal size and speed and hands who will change the geometry of the offense, you're going to have to throw the ball more to attract them and/or justify the cost.
We don't need a speed guy to get 1000 yards.
We need a speed guy to make 2 catches a game out of 4 or 5 targets a game.
Not everything Breaston did was over the top... I simply used him as an example of the type of player we need...a guy who can get behind the defense at will...and catch at least 40% of his targets or better....and as an example of how it opens things underneath, we all saw that.
Maybe it's not a FA...maybe it's a 5th round draft pick

Just say "No" to Tyreek the Freak...
He is getting old, and thinks of nobody but himself...as evidenced by his 62 kids from 60 different baby mommas.

So who is this player you’re talking about? Would a John Brown or JJ Nelson slake your thirst?

I don't know who he is. I have not identified any real burners in the draft... kinda hoping a guy pops at the combine because all the names at WR seem to be 4.4 type guys....and it's difficult for me to watch tape on every Marshall or Lower Minnesota Baptist State to try and find a guy who can run a 4.2 in pads and still catch a few balls.
But, it's early, I may yet find him before April

How much volume do you expect the third passing option in this offense to get? Michael Wilson had 71 targets this season.

EDIT: This is the real reason why we're unlikely to attract or invest in a legit WR2.
I could see a solid number two reducing Wilson’s role.
