Do you think this will be the end for Santana Moss?

LOVE this signing but I think we still need another proven WR.

Will probably be Hawkins for his return game, but I wonder if we can still afford someone like Emmanuel Sanders as a #3 WR and still fill our other holes on D and the O-line?

I'm just not confident in Hankerson or Robinson.

There's no tampering, it's ok to reach deals in principle, just nothing official until 4pm.

Good question, could be.

It was a joke and yes, as long as we only spoke to his agents and not the player personally, we're fine.


Bruce knows what he's doing.


But, if the league wanted to get picky and nail someone with a false charge, it would be us!

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

need the numbers, but he's probably the best guy for what we wanted to do.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

My kind of signing! He's a talented young player with plenty of upside. I'd bet that we got him at a reasonable cap number, too. Nice job Skins FO!

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

I like the Andre Roberts acquisition as a long-term move. Can get up to four quality years out of him. There are a couple of hold backs:

-His route tree is basically redundant with Garcons, based on his best alignments and route selection.

-Although he's been a good receiver each of the last two years, he's a sub 7.0 YPT guy for his career. Basically, he's going to help move the chains -- but doesn't up the quick scoring options in the offense.

He was used as a deep receiver much more often in Arians' scheme this year, so at least he featured that new skill.

Overall, versatile and valuable signing. But he's a poor man's no. 2/rich man's no.3.

How can I convince you guys that you would [U]hate[/U] Sanders in B&G? He is a [U]choke artist[/U], I tell you! Sanders is as likely to drop a TD or 3rd down pass as he is to catch it. He would be the new 50/50.

Besides, he would be too expensive. He's going to be overpaid by some unfortunate team with a misguided FO.

I think you'll be very happy with Roberts when we sign or draft a true #2 receiver. I'm betting that we added him as a "rich man's no. 3". But I could be wrong about that.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

At the moment, 1) Garcon 2) Hankerson 3) Roberts 4) Aldrick. But there's not a whole lot of difference between 1/2/3.
