100% agree. Randle El just is not worth it period.

If we were to go after Roy Williams, Larry Fitzgerlad, or Moss (if he doesnt want to return), we would need cap room. And not that I am a Gm or anything, but it is illogical in the salary cap era to have so much of yoiur cap allocated to one position (e.g. Detroit). If we kept S. Moss and ARE and then tried to draft a receiver in the 1st or get on via free agency, we would essentially be loking up a hefty percentage of our cap at the WR postion. That will come back to haunt us.

In another thread I pointed out the importance of Roy Williams...6'4", only 26, proven big time WR etc...due to the injury bug, we can get him cheaper than Larry Fitzgerald and Randy Moss. I heard in passing that New England either has or will put the franchise tag on R. Moss...not sure how accurate that is, but it's possible / probable. No matter what, we need to get rid of Randle El before bringing in a top notch WR, or we have to hope that Anthony Mix is ready.

I love ARE, but we can trade him, open up cap space, and get a draft pick in the process. Remember that ARE was part of Gibbs doing, and we need to start undoing some of Joe Gibbs organized chaos.

I'm not as high on Randle El OTHER than he is a great locker room presence, and is of high character. That's what Gibbs did best, and I for one am glad he did it. He even helped to turn around Sean Taylor. So I am not so sure I want to undo what Gibbs did, I'd prefer to complement it.

The real question is what could we get for ARE that we could live with, and in doing so who would you draft with that pick?

If Detroit is willing to part (or at least entertain the notion) of Reggie Brown and a 4th for Roy Williams, I don't see how Randle El and maybe a 3rd or 4th wouldn't be possible.
Good post overall though, I think you're on the money.
