Grade the Redskins Moves So Far

I think if it was a 4, 5 year 20+ million dollar deal i might agree, but his contract is really no risk. 2 year deal where we get to find out if he can become a stronger player. Shanny reallllly wanted this guy and there was a lot of interest from other teams. I think he could be an asset.

I can see people not liking Garcon's contract, but Morgan was a low risk signing.

Grading the moves now is like giving someone a grade before they even take a test. I like the moves so far, but we still have the draft and plenty of more roster shaping ahead.

Agreed.

I'd like to have seen an additional option. 'Let's see what results we get this season in the W/L columns'.

My thoughts exactly. Garcon needs to make a big, immediate impact to justify the contract. I have no problem w/ Morgan on the other hand.

He will , fast and a very good route runner.

...also (mostly) inconsistent. He had a handful of big games last year otherwise pretty average. If Garcon really produces at the level of his contract then I'm annoyed w/ the opportunity cost but happy to have a younger WR. If Garcon doesn't produce it will be yet another major flub by this FO.

C-

No Flect, I don't need to explain this.

It's hard to tell if his down games were because of Garcon or because of the immortal Curtis Painter. :)

Really depends on what the outcome of arbitration is. If we are able to recoup cap space then I'm in love. If we have no first round pick coupled with no cap space next offseason I'm going to be less than thrilled.

They made some good moves with questionable compensation.
They've also made some ouright questionable signings.
They haven't upgraded the OL.

Thus far I would grade FA a C- with a curve thrown in fueled by Griffin based homerism.

Then again, he didn't have the luxury to be brought in gradually like Reggie Wayne did. Marvin Harrison's career ended pretty abruptly.
