I think so.
I believe shanahan runs a version of the west coast.
Gaffney hasn't been great with YAC in his career. And he's only got 1 year in a WCO, and Shanahan's offense is not a prototypical WCO. And, as A&O mentioned, he is more of a slot guy.
I could see us signing Donald Driver if Green Bay releases him. Driver could be a real mentor for some of the younger guys, and he knows the system. But, the only other way I think we bring someone else in is because of injury or because the young kids show absolutely nothing in the OTAs. We are building for 2013 and beyond. This year is about:
Can Hartline take his game to another level in this system, and without Marshall getting 30% of the targets?
Does Bess' lack of speed prevent him from being enough of a playmaker in this offense?
Can Legedu Naanee build off his last two seasons?
Can Clyde Gates contribute in this system?
Can Roberto Wallace, BJ Cunningham, Rishard Matthews, Julius Pruitt, Jeff Fuller, Derek Moye, or Marlon Moore force themselves into the picture?
Other than the leadership Driver would bring, I don't see us bringing in a veteran that will hold back development of the young guys.
Yeah let's bring in WR's who are cast aside by their former teams because they aren't good enough to start. And while we're at it, let's get rid of our only skill position Pro Bowler on offense.
i was talking about the guy the Texans released, jones. donald drive too. gabney obviously wasn't cut from a good team, but they did sign a bunch of FA WRs so at least they had a reason for cutting him.

On the Gaffney questions: MT @JosinaAnderson: Just got text from WR Jabar Gaffney: "I'm going to the Patriots." Gaffney plans to sign soon.

Wasn't suggesting that we get Welker. Didn't even know he was or is actually available. I just like going around asking the question "Welker?" (See Bess tore ACL post).
