Paul and Robinson are PS or throw away DP's?? The field is becoming much too crowded for reps. No way all these guys can get a good look.
Unfortunately, the lockout may have caused this. I was hoping Paul would make the team, but I had not thought of the lack of time they've been able to put in. The season starts in 6 weeks. They arrived at Redskins Park YESTERDAY.
Vets may be the way to go because of the lockout, but it's a shame we can't retain these young WRs with potential. Maybe we'll keep 2 on the PS and promote them with cuts/injuries later in the season when they get caught up.

this move is surprising. gaffney is decent, more of a possession receiver i think, but jarmon didnt fit in the 3-4.
Rookies are gonna struggle, big time, at least early on in the season. Not sure we can expect much from the likes of Hankerson or anyone else. And even the 2nd year guys lost valuable development time this offseason. I think we're looking for guys who can play now. And if that means cutting some picks or putting them on the PS so be it.

Maybe we are going back to the "old Ball Coach" days Fun 'N' Gun and F&ck O line.

Not sure we needed yet another WR but if Jarmon did not fit into our plans why not get someone who was productive last year and someone we can also cut at no expense?

Bad trade. Why trade for a WR on the downside of his career? Clear salary cap space?

Larger roster for TC.
Weak position.
Need for competition.
"Dual mandate"
I'm not as surprised as some others.

I don't think it is a bad trade. They simply traded two "meh" players amongst themselves.
Now what is interesting is that the Skins made a trade like this during one of the busiest weeks in NFL history. Why do this trade now? Shouldn't we being using our resources on bigger fish this week? Or this all to step up something bigger?
