Bernard Berrian

But see, aren't people complaining how Snyder keeps giving up draft picks? I mean, I am glad the Briggs trade didn't work, and we got a great young player out of the draft. I'm telling you all, if the Bengals trade CJ, we're going to be giving up a lot, and ppl will be complaining about it. Oh well.

Some people just complain to complain though. That's not going to change

Good point.

I like the idea of Berrian.

Seems to have the same physical specs of Johnson. I'd take him over Johnson.

We will probubly still end up with Briggs. He wanted us like a passion and I belive the feeling was mutual. Now with McIntosh he may be back in time he may not. Yes he is healing but can he put a hit on someone and take one?

We definitly need to do something about our WR situation. I'm tired of picking up the WR and two weeks to two months we are letting them go. It's time to start getting and keeping good quality WR's. I would say find a way to give him DS standard norm of 30 mil. lol. and bring him on board to compliment Moss and maybe still go after CJ. Then we would have a couple of speed guys to set up a speed package forcing the defense to figure out who to cover, solid possession WR and two targets for the end zone in Cooley and CJ.

Then they can dump the older WR like McCardell, dump the non productive types like Lloyd, and Caldwell, I like Thrash...I was always a fan and happy to have him back but only to be used on SP for the most part? please, open up a roster spot for a more needed spot else where.

Berrian is a player. I've watched him a ton on Sunday Ticket since I had him in fantasy for a couple of years. Disappointing stats for a fantasy guy, but he just makes plays. Bad QB play has done him in out in Chicago. Very very good player. I'd be willing to say he is very comparable to Chad Johnson and is younger, cheaper, and wouldn't cost any picks. I kind of had forgotten about the fact he was a FA. He'd be tremendous.

I would take him over cj,cj is just another t.o. plus we'd be giving up too much to get him,but knowing snyder,sounds like he wants him and will do whatever it takes,hey dan,how'd jeff george work out for ya?

I'd say it makes to much sense. Which is why Synder won't do it. Then again he favored making Jim Zorn the HC instead of big name, so who knows. Maybe this is the offseason where Snyder gives the "plain Jane" a chance as opposed to Mika, the platinum blonde with huge breast but zero personallity.

Has anyone watched Berrian play? He takes off plays and drops easily catchable balls. He is fast and makes the highlight plays, but he is really more suited as a slot or #2 at most. I agree w/ SCSkinsfan that he is exciting, but we really need one consistent wr.
If the thinking around Redskins Park is that Moss is an electrifying #2 and ARE the #3, then adding another speedster isn't the answer. It will still leave us with only Cooley to go to on 3rd and 7.
Porter, same thing.
DJ Hackett (another likely FA) is another good #2.
For all of King's whining about you shouldn't get into the HOF running 8 yd curls, what I would give for a solid possession as a #1.

I don't know why the Redskins aren't considering signing Bernard Berrian from Chicago, who is going to be an unrestricted free agent, instead of toying with the idea of signing Chad Johnson. Berrian is 6-1, 185 lbs, and had some good stats this past season: 71 Rec/951 Yds/5 TDs. Keep in mind that this guy had the Grossman/Griese/Orton trio of mediocre QBs throwing at him, and he still performed better than S.Moss (61 Rec/808 Yds/3 TDs) or even Randle El (51 Rec/728 Yds/1 TD).

Berrian would give the Skins the tall possession receiver they've been craving and they wouldn't have to give up any picks. I think that a WR tandem of Berrian, Moss, and Randle El, along with Chris Cooley, would give the Redskins a solid passing game. Plus we wouldn't deal with the baggage that Ocho Cinco brings, nor worrying about shelling out tons of $$$. I hope that now Gibbs is gone, DS doesn't go back to his old ways of giving up picks at the drop of a dime.

You make a great point and I see this working into our scheme better then all other options, taking everything into consideration. I mean lets face it; this guy has had 3 solid years of growth with absolutely NO QB to speak of. He is big and can turn on the jets to blow past DB's. I really have enjoyed watching him over the past two years and think he would make a great fit in DC.

We wouldn’t have to give up anything to get him and could utilize our draft picks to focus on both O & D Line! Let's make it happen, best deal by a mile!
