    The obvious bad: blew out his knee in the first game last year. Clearly not an heir apparent even if that didn't happen. Bills parting ways with him is probably telling.

    The Intrigue:
    Looked pretty good his second season when the Bills started slinging the ball around.
    Catches 60+% of his targets, which is nice and what we want.
    Great size (6'5")
    The injury happened so early that he's got a great shot at bouncing back and auditioning for a job offer (as opposed to a leap of faith deal).
    He'd come on the cheap with little to no guaranteed money - no risk pick up.
    Texas guy

    I wouldn't call him a playmaker, but he was a very reliable #2 for the Bills in 2011 and is still young. Strikes me as a "Kubiak guy"

    He strikes me as another "Kevin Walter type of guy".

    I'd rather have him around than Jean.
