Where will Torry Holt land?
Fresh off vacation, it sounds like free agent Torry Holt will shop himself around for a while before signing with a team.
GMs will have major concerns about Holt. He is no longer a complete receiver who can beat defenses both over the top and underneath. He is also a career dome player who's never been in a non-Mike Martz style offense. Holt's knee surgery three offseasons ago was only reported as a scope, but there were indications it was more serious. Holt lost a step in 2007 and another in 2008. The 49ers have apparently already written him off because of it.
Still, he is sure handed, a crafty route runner, and a positive locker room presence. Holt would likely be an upgrade over any receiver Chicago, Jacksonville, Oakland, and arguably Baltimore or Tennessee has on their rosters. He'd make the Browns, Jets, Dolphins, and Colts better on paper.
Disappointingly for his dynasty owners, most of these teams are run heavy. Unless Holt goes to the Colts -- where he'd fit perfectly opposite Reggie Wayne with Anthony Gonzalez in the slot, and get to stay indoors -- it's hard to imagine him improving much on his 2008 numbers.
Comments
It’s an honor to be compared to one of the greatest receivers of all time Torry is definitely somebody I idolize. Whenever somebody asks me my favorite receiver, I say Torry Holt.

on paper it would be great for the colts. but what a slap in the face to Harrison for them to get an aging wr to fill his role. The colts wont do it.
