    Is on the Jets radar. Wouldn't be a horrible signing but where is the speed on offense? Our wide receivers are being clocked with a sun dial. Ivory and Powell aren't take it to the house guys. They aren't even talking about Spiller anymore.

    All spiller rumors have quieted.

    Helu could signal a smoke screen bc skrine came out of nowhere. But helu is fast he runs a 4.4 FYI.

    I've always liked Helu. I remember using him in Madden a few years ago, had no idea who he was and balled. Got him on Madden mobile and he balls. Coincidence, i think not.

    Helu is very fast - was a good complement to Alfred Morris, however he isn't very durable.

    Let the Pats sign Helu, he's a classic underperform for a team like that

    If Geno is his QB, that reduction is still generous.

    He'd be a nice pick-up. I'm rooting for the Pats to sign him. He could fill the Kevin Faulk role. Vereen had a good SB, but was inconsistent most of the year.

    Would love this signing. Helu is a terrific receiver out of the back field, something we could really use.

    I live in Redskins country, I watch a lot of their games. Helu is an underrated and dynamic player. I would be thrilled if we signed him.

    Agree. Sometimes remind me of Leon Washington....

    He is bigger and more powerful tho. His between the tackle running is better than he's given credit for. I always thought he was underused in Washington.

    Unfortunately no. As Man stated he's more of a power than Washington, I agree. They get a screen pass or dump pass, its a pretty big gain. Similar to what Brady did with Woodard...I think Helu is a perfect fit for NE but I think he is may also be a nicer fit for Chan Gailey's offense.

    Cool thanks. A spiller or helu I'm happy. We need a pass Catcher. I'd imagine it's a matter of plan and how much they want to pay.

    These are the type of players we need to add depth, a spark plug type guys, just my opinion. Macc got to find a few players that will work with the system. Helu, I think is a solid and obviously a cheaper route to go in case we can't get Spiller...But then again, we may be able to get a similar RB like that in 4th round.

    Maybe assuming we want to spend a pick on a back. Helu and spiller are both low mileage so I think they're the better route.

    He has an agreement with the Raiders.

    He's brittle though isn't he? I recall him getting banged up a lot.
