FA WR in Vjax and RW

GTripp0012 · 02-13-2012, 09:58 PM

I think this wide receiver free agent class is mostly fools gold, though I have a hard time shooting holes in the idea that Stevie Johnson would be a bad investment for any team. He's 26 and runs routes like he's been in the league for eight years.

The best value on the market is probably Randy Moss. There's up to 10 guys who are going to get more on the FA market then him, but there's not yet 20 guys in the league who are better receivers than Randy Moss.

I had mentioned Stevie Johnson before, someone mentioned that he may have a mild case of the dropsies. If the Bills are foolish enough to let him go, I wouldn't mind having him.

No way, that guy is a douche bag.

Quick question.... when was the last time an offensive player "ripped players heads off"? Especially a WR?

Randy Moss says he’s “coming to tear somebody’s heads off, man” | ProFootballTalk

DL- yes.
CB- yes.
FS/SS- yes.

WR- uh... no.

I don't think RGIII would fall that far. The farthest I see him falling is 5 and at that point the team among Seattle and Miami without a QB on draft day suddenly comes into play (likely Seattle). Sure St. Louis would be willing to deal with those teams to but it seems that they're not to keen on dropping to far in this draft.

Then again we don't really know what Seattle is going to do. They could easily draft Tannehill, Osweiler, maybe even Foles from their spot at 11 or 12. I say this because they drafted a 3rd round prospect last year 25th overall in James Carpenter.

Not much of a surprise here, but here is Shefter saying Bowe will likely get the franchise tag.

My bad...edit...here's the link.

AA is not making the team.

Best post Ive read all day. U get Hankerson, Garcon and gaffney. Davis as your TE,cooley in on twin TE sets.

With a Peyton manning or RG3 tossing the rock, this could suddenly become a quite prolific offense.................HURRY UP DRAFT......

SCRedskinsFan · 02-25-2012, 08:59 PM

According to the Washington Post Hankerson had surgery to repar a torn labrum in his hip last Tuesday. He expects to be ready for training camp...one can only hope.

All in all, not good news, and it makes getting a top wide receiver even more important for us.

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 02-25-2012, 09:18 PM

At WR I think we need to add at least two. We need some depth once a guy goes down with injury which is bound to happen. I am still into adding Eddie Royal as well.

Skins4L · 02-25-2012, 10:05 PM

I dont want to see any ex colt player beside Peyton IF we were to sign him. No Reggie Wayne, hes old, weve seen that before. I want us to hit them with something theyve never seen.

But regardless if its Manning, RGIII, Luck, whoever... I do want us to SIGN VJAX... he really is the best WR available and hed make such an impact.

Ninjafitz · 02-26-2012, 04:43 AM

I am not a fan of the redskins but i have gotten to know the team very well because of a mock draft game I play on my teams board.

I do not think Reggie Wayne is a good fit as a redskin his best days are behind him and he just doesnt seem like he would fit.

Vincent jackson is a guy who needs a lot of touches to be happy and could clash with Shanahan.

Stevie Johnson would probably be the best choice if he hits the market.

Once I get my 10 posts ill show you guys what I did what the Redskins in that mock draft type game.

SBXVII · 02-27-2012, 01:29 PM

Well if we trade up for RGIII then we might as well forget a decent WR in the draft. Hopefully we can pick up a qualified WR in FA. Here is some news on that end though...

Redskins hoping to address receiver position in free agency

Quote:

According to ProFootballWeekly.com, the Washington Redskins are looking to add a wide receiver via free agency that can become an instant starter.

If they aren’t able to sign a viable receiver in free agency, they would then likely turn to the draft to fill one of the biggest needs on their roster.

The one name I heard as a possibility for the Redskins is Colts wide receiver Pierre Garcon, who just turned down a five-year $35 million offer from the Colts.

Also if the Chargers don’t tag Vincent Jackson, the Redskins might make a run at him.

That Guy · 02-27-2012, 02:47 PM

I'm not sure i'd be standing in line to beat 35 mill for garcon...

44Deezel · 02-27-2012, 03:04 PM

I heart Vincent Jackson, but he's 29 and a bit too much of a primadonna. Eddie Royal is only 25. The last 10 Super Bowl winners have proven you don't need an elite WR to win it all.

The top flight guys of the last few years havent faired too well when it comes to Championships - Fitz, TO, Moss, Megatron, Andre Johnson, etc. We just need great QB play surrounded by good enough talent. No need to overreach or over pay for a WR.
