Jets sign WR Chaz Schilens -- Fri Mar 16 8:15 pm --
To add depth to receiving corps | Looking to add size and speed to their receiving corps, the New York Jets agreed to terms Friday with former Oakland Raiders wideout Chaz Schilens. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Schilens, along with Drew Stanton, became the Jets’ first free-agent acquisitions. He also drew interest from the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers. Despite only 72 receptions in four seasons, Schilens will get a chance to compete for Plaxico Burress’ old starting job. The 6-foot-5 Burress, who tied for the team leader with eight touchdown catches last season, is a free agent and unlikely to return. (ESPN)
FF Today's Take: If his supporting cast is any sign of things to come, controversial quarterback Mark Sanchez could be in for another rough year in 2012. Schilens is a decent receiver but he doesn't have the red zone reputation or athleticism that Burress does.
|  | WRs Manningham, Lloyd to visit 49ers -- Wed Mar 14 8:25 pm --
San Francisco pursuing top remaining free agent receivers | Former Giants WR Mario Manningham has a free-agent visit scheduled with the 49ers, a league source said Wednesday. Manningham has spent all four of his seasons with the Giants, who made him a third-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. He made a clutch catch in the Giants’ victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI, but finished the regular season with 523 receiving yards while playing behind WRs Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks on the depth chart. The 49ers have also had visits with WRs Chaz Schilens and Brandon Lloyd. (NFL.com)
FF Today's Take: The turbulent 2012 offseason continues! For fantasy purposes, Lloyd's meetings with new teams are of greater significance than Manningham's, as the former New York Giant virtually dropped off of the fantasy radar last season with a slew of injuries and inconsistent performances. Lloyd has also reportedly expressed interest in joining the New England Patriots.
