Marshall, Wayne, Bess, Bush, a speed receiver, and a receiving tight end. Could a team keep everyone happy or would this be a problem? I don't think Wayne would want to come here and be a 40-50 reception option. And at his age would you want to pay him a great deal to be your # 3 or 4 option?
 
Reggie Wayne was on WQAM and absolutely LIVID about joining the Phins and playing with Marshall. As long as we are winning and have a doughnut in the right column...no one will complain about a damn thing.

Plenty of balls to go around, and you don't have to say speed receiver and receiving TE . . . their names are Gates, Fasano and Clay. No dire need to upgrade any of them.
 
Well let's look at the Colts in 2006 (the year they won the superbowl). Offense ranked 3rd, 2nd in passing yards with 4308 yards, 18th in rushing with 1762 yards. Joseph Addai had 1081 yards on 226 carries, 40 receptions for 325 yards, Dominic Rhodes added 187 carries for 641 yards and 36 receptions for 251 yards. Marvin Harrison had 95 receptions for 1366 yards and Reggie Wayne had 86 receptions for 1310 yards. The two TEs, Dallas Clark and Ben Utecht added a combined 67 receptions for 744 yards. So the top 4 receivers had 95, 86, 37 (Utecht) and 30(Clark) receptions, plus the running backs added another 76. Plenty of balls to go around.

Reggie Wayne is not selfish, if the receivers can't get along with Manning throwing them the ball then they need to be traded.
 
You're talking about a QB who found a way to spread the ball around just fine with Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Dallas Clark all in their primes. "Not enough balls" won't be a problem at all. He'll get the ball out to whoever is open; simply put.
