Shanahan felt comfortable with Smith, Walker, Marshall, Kircus and Devoe at receiver. He obviously is not comfortable with Adams at returner/receiver seeing as we tried to deal him.
The decision was a shock to all of us, but with competant receivers, atleast in Shanahan's view, already availble, Watts became less useful. We probably should have traded him, but if we couldn't get useful value, we'd essentially be giving him away anyway.
I already said, I don't believe Adams's position on the Broncos is as secure as everyone is making it out to be. You all are panicking a bit to much. There's plenty of guys we can nab off waivers to return kicks. Watts can't do that, so what use does he have here? Peter Warrick, for example, has proven he can return kicks and be a half-decent receiver. Forget his draft status, he's shown what his limits and abilities in the NFL are and he would be a good addition to the Broncos for the versatility that Adams never had. Warrick might not even be the best option but there are plenty of improvements with more versatility and ability than Charlie Adams on the market and for all our sakes, I hope Shanahan can net a keeper.
