Injuries seem to have him buried awefully deep, yet at one time he was very reliable. Has anybody heard anything on his situation?

Injuries or no, he might be the 4th best WR on his team. He was in a good situation for a while because the team refused to upgrade the WRs, but that is long past.

How many receivers in their 30s have had productive seasons after missing significant time due to injury?
Now.....how many white receivers have done it?

The Eagles released Curtis earlier this offseason.Agreed that he was in a good situation for a time. Injuries ruined whatever chance he had to hang onto that.

IMO, Curtis only had 1 very good season and one good season. He's never really been a mainstay at the top of the receiver food chain. There have been a lot of receivers that did well for a year or two. It's not like he put up years and years of Marvin Harrison like numbers and then slumped for a year.

Totally missed that. Not surprised though.

True, although injuries certainly played a role in that.But even the best receivers rarely come back from leg injuries after the age of 31. Once you lose it, it's gone for good.

IIRC, Jerry Rice, Joey Galloway, Tim Brown, Jimmy Smith, and Terry Glenn all had some sort of leg injuries and did pretty well in their 30s.

It wasn't the knee scope last year that did him in, it was the hernia surgery in 2008. Curtis was a guy whose production relied entirely on his breathless speed. Early in his career Curtis was a 4.2ish guy, one of the 5 fastest players in pro football. I remember when Curtis lit up Falcons CB DeAngelo Hall (Curtis was a Ram) in a playoff game . . . Hall was asked about Curtis after the game; the normally boisterous corner got totally quiet and rubbed his temples, as if he didn't want to replay a couple routes in his head. He made some remark about Curtis being the fastest white dude in the league, but he wasn't really trying to be funny. He was stunned. And remember, Hall won the NFL Fastest Man contest one year in Hawaii.
Anyway, Curtis is gone. A great football career for a nobody from Utah State.

True, but no one would put him in a starting lineup with those receivers let alone in the same class. All were more talented and each had a couple more signifcant seasons (at least) prior to injury. Now if James Jett had bounced back you may be on to something.
