Randle El is the receiver we need to pursue (#2 WR discussion - Merged)

:coach: yeah i say so but the steelers are gonna give him a deal because he is good at throwing at catching :towel: :towel: :towel: :towel: :towel:
maybe. the steelers let plaxico walk. they also have wilson to pair with ward so they can afford to draft a player to fine the role. steelers do not sually pay up big bucks for free agents

too much hype for a 600yd #2. there's better out there for less.
an excellent point. he could be another peerless price who benefitted from playing beside a very solid player-- or alvin harper..

wayne was franchised so he is out of the question
if that is true, then the skins will benefit because the colts will be dumping other players right and left. guys like brock and freeney may be turned loose because of their cap situation.

and what happens when patten or moss get hurt? we pack it in and wait for next year?

guys like curtis or robinson won't be big money like wayne or moulds or even r-el (who's overhyped).
i like curtis but he is smallish and also a restricted free agent. he will cost a pick. robinson won't. moulds won't either if he is released. we could get a got solid year out of mccardell as well. there are gonna be good options out there.

Koren Robinson had 22 catches for 347 yards and 1 TD. Hardly a career year, I think he's still damaged goods to the point where he's not going to be able to name his own price and command #1 WR type money.

you are correct. teams will not be lining up to pay robinson first tier money.
if he expects that he will sit for a long time. there will have to be safeguards for any team signing him because of the possibility of relapse.. still he has a fine upside and is young. he needs to go to the right team for certain. given how tight the skins are becoming he will need to pass muster from the vets. if he does, look for the skins to make a strong push for him

I agree with you guys on Robinson being a GOOD pick up, I think it would take a VERY GOOD interview with GIbbs to make sure he passes the REDSKINS character test...I think this team will have alot of FA options at WR. I still think we should take a HARD look at J. Jerovicouis....I think his style would fit in well with Patten and Moss and he's proven (this year) he can step into the top 2 spots if either get hurt.

JJ probably isn't leaving seattle. He has roots there right now and is about to re-retire, so i doubt he wants to move 3000 miles away for a one year job.

WOW, i just looked up JJ's age (32)...my bad, I didn't realize how old he was...NEVER MIND on him as our #3/2 WR, inless he's cheap and only wants a 2 year deal....

Waybe if K. Robinson passes GIbb's personnel eval test and at the age of only 26, he might be a GOOD/SOLID pick up for #2/3 WR and KR (26yr avg.)...but I would break the bank on him and i would have option years to make sure his Character stays on par with what we consider as a Redskin.

Looking at the way Gibbs has operated in the past and contrast that with the initial performance of Snyder, I have to put Randle El in the category of a HIGH PROFILE free agent which Gibbs avoids. Joe looks for capable performers who are unappreciated by their present teams, viz Moss, and discards those on the Skins who have not improved to expectations, viz Gardner. Finding a WR in the draft, especially considering we have no first round pick, that can have an immediate impact in his first year in the NFL, will be very difficult to do. I anticipate Gibbs and Saunders will go "gold mining" again this year and come up with a nugget that no one else recognized.
