Reply With QuoteHolt might have some value for a dome team. Tra Thomas could play some right tackle for somebody.
I wonder if they'll try to find another team or just retire, Holt still had a decent season last year.Originally Posted by rotoworld

Holt may hold some value to a team like Cleveland or someone like that who have a lot of young Receivers that could learn from talking with Holt and watching how he plays.
Thomas may be a nice one or two year transition Right Tackle for a team with a young offensive linemen that needs to develop more before starting.

Moral of this story: USE CONDOMS KIDS! NEVER KNOW WHAT WEIRD LITTLE JEDI MIGHT POP OUT IF YOU DON'T!
Holt might be able to outperform a vet minimum salary as someone's WR4 but there's equal chance or better that he won't, which means it's time to retire.
Best destinations for Holt
Patriots
Bears
Cleveland
Saints
San Diego
Baltimore
Falcons
Panthers
Jets
49ers
He won't be able to be a #1 anymore, but he could be a good number two or three for these teams. He can mentor younger players, or just be a smart veteran player that plays hard, and is intelligent.
I still think Thomas can play left tackle, actually. He'd be a low-end, 2008 Mike Gandy left tackle, but he can play the position. I think he retires, though.
Holt's only 33. Still, if you're not Randy Moss or T.O., older receivers have trouble going somewhere that they can start and don't feel like backing up younger guys.
I really like the bolded teams as destinations for Holt. Especially Chicago and Cleveland that have a ton of young receivers. Throw Miami in there, too.
He has 115 receptions for 1500+ yards on two bad teams, with bad offensive lines, and not great quarterbacks. I think he has something left in the tank, and could be a solid #2 or good #3 for a playoff team looking to get their offense improved
Definitely true, i was going through teams in my head and missed them. They have a lot of young WRs, they can definitely learn a lot by playing with Holt, and learning how to read defenses, and how to always be open. Teams could be very hopeful they will pick up on Holts good habits, not a big mouth, and practices very hard. I remember him once saying he would catch 1000 balls in practice each day. That, is incredible! Determination to be great..
Which means there's also not much competition for the targets.
Watching him he's looked like just a body out there in the last two years. The speed is gone. He doesn't have anything extra left like size, elusivity or surehandedness. He'll catch a five yard curl against soft coverage but won't do anything with it. This sounds like the job description of an adequate WR3 in many offenses. But the problem is that there's absolutely no upside to him and there's significant chance he'll crater. It's quite possible his performance next year won't even merit the vet min+ (~$1M) salary he'll command. A mid-low round pick will be cheaper with much more upside.
Of course if you are say the Patriots who were running special teamers out of the spread, Holt is a justifiable gamble. But that's about it. A player of his stature could and probably should just rest for his health and family.
