Holt No Risk

The signing of WR Terry Holt to a one year $1.7 million generated some concern that it might be the 2010 version of Joey Galloway. Holt, who will turn 34 in June, is seen as a possession receiver. Skeptics point out that the team will feature 33 year old Randy Moss as well as 37 year old re-tread David Patten.

Holt is no Galloway, who was able to run deep, but could not run the routes that QB Tom Brady needed. Holt is very durable and has only missed three games in 11 seasons. The seven-time Pro Bowler caught 51 passes for 772 yards with Jacksonville last season during his first year with them.

He was selected 6th overall in the 1999 draft by the St Louis Rams. He became part of the "Greatest Show on Turf" offense which lost to the Pats in Super Bowl XXXVI. He set an NFL record for most receptions in a decade (2000-2009) with 868. During his first 10 years with the Rams, he averaged 87 catches and 1,266 yards. He also has 74 career TD's. He is the fastest receiver to gains 10,000 yards in their career by doing so in only 166 games.

With Wes Welker likely to miss most of the season, look to Holt to be in the starting line-up on opening day.
