Greg Lewis and the rest of the ex-Eagles that Chilly brought over, (Hicks, Tapeh, McMullen, Pinkston, McMahon, Detmer), all share something in common. They..aren't..good. Hicks is the only guy you can say anything good about--he's at least been serviceable.

His best year was in '05 when he had 561 receiving yards starting all 16 games.
Now I understand that that they wanted someone that could play both the outside and the slot. But how about someone with a little more upside? He's 29 years old and has never shown a lot of promise. Maybe he'll be a "leader" to our young receivers, but I thought Wade was fine for that role.
And above all, I would have liked to seen some loyalty to a player that took a 50% paycut to stay with our team. Bobby Wade, you will be missed.
