I've appreciated Roby but have thought keeping a guy solely as a gunner and backup returner is a luxury. We need a young guy to step up and not only be a gunner but be a legitimate backup. One of the young WRs would fit the bill. Roby is at $900K so there's several hundred thousand to save towards the cap as well.

i concur, i'd rather give a givens a shot or so and see how they do.

Not really. He signed for vet minimum so he counts as a second year player towards the cap. I think they save about $20,000-$25,000.

I do very much agree that I'd prefer a legit WR who can also play gunner. We already have enough returners so Roby is basically on the roster to one thing. He does it very well, but how many snaps does a gunner get? 6-8 on punts and 6-8 on kickoffs? Not worth having a guy playing only 15 snaps.
