We should have signed Jerome Simpson

i may be completely jaded over here with my bills colored glasses on and a tall glass of kool-aid in my hand, but i think if the recievers that we have on our team stay healthy and get a good chemistry with our quarterback, we may be very happy with what we have.

It's a legitimate question. There's NEVER been a question of Simpson's talent. I loved him coming out of college. He also has freakishly large hands… like 11.5 inches or something like that.

 

His athletic gifts had to be weighed against this:

 

"In September 2011, police searched Simpson's home after intercepting a package to be delivered to his home containing 2.5 pounds of marijuana. When police arrived at Simpson's home, he allowed them to search his home. Upon searching the home, the police found 6 more pounds of marijuana, scales, empty packages similar to the one intercepted by the police. Simpson's teammate Anthony Collins and his wife were at the residence and were also questioned by the police. No arrests were made. On January 19, 2012, Simpson was indicted in Covington, Kentucky for "Trafficking in more than eight ounces and less than five pounds of marijuana", a Class D felony, which carries a 1 to 5 year prison sentence if convicted. The NFL has stated it will wait until the police investigation is completed to decide if it will discipline Simpson. On April 5, 2012, Simpson was sentenced to 15 days in jail, 200 hours of community service, and 3 years probation. He will also have to undergo drug testing and pay a $7,500 fine plus court costs."

 

The Bills seem to want to have a pretty squeaky-clean operation. When you operate that way, you'll miss out on some serious talent. One thing to weigh is the possibility of him screwing up again.

 

Plus, he doesn't have a huge track record of pro production. Again, 70 catches in 4 years.

 

 

We should really discuss that cole character from minny at wr. He had great chemistry with our qbs.
