Time to drop some dead weight off the ship...

Well ok, he can play, just not very well. :tongue: To say that DT has been anything but a disappointment is paying him a great compliment. He was signed after a 700+ yard, handful of TDs season in Washington to come in and be at worst, a solid #2 receiver. We gave him a decent contract and he was a guy we expected to be an up and comer and part of the core of our offense. 3 years later, he has at no time during the preseason or regular season demostrated the skills or consistency to be a starting WR in the NFL. Of course now, its not a matter of starting, but whether or not he should hang on as a #4 or 5 receiver. I have no problem with DT as a #5 WR behind CC, Boston, Booker, and Gilmore. But Wes has to be #5 because he returns kicks. I would rather see Wes get some pt at receiver if we're in a pinch than see DT take a roster spot that we could save for a Vickerson, Wright, or other young guy that has some potential. I feel like we know what we have with him, a very average player, and I would rather use that spot on a guy with some upside potential.

If they are only going to carry 5 and Welker is the choice because of return duties, I agree with you. I don't think we should keep Newsom, Farmer, or any of the other guys unless they show that they are actually better than Thompson.

Others seem to want to cut Thompson and hope someone else can play.

btw, what made Thompson's catch against the Pats so great was that he actually held on to it

Yeah, I like the holding on part best about catches.....Although the fact that it was a game winning catch on 4th and 10 against the hated Pats was nice too.
