Skins Sign WR Bobby Wade

[REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE]

PER CSN: WR Bobby Wade has been signed.

Not sure if anyone has heard this as well.

[SFREDSKIN]

Damn!! Is TO next? They are signing everyone under the sun, it's like Obama's stimulus plan under way with the Redskins.

More competition, good stuff. Apparently they haven't already written Mitchell in as the number 5 like some people here have

Breaking News : The Redskins have also signed Freddie Mitchell! OK JK LOL

[Kalisto2010]

I wonder why he's signing so many receivers? Does this mean one of our young guys could be potentially cut?

Beginning to look like surplus competition ha!!....Wade has made a few rounds since 2003, his best years were the two he spent with the Vikings. We have more receivers now than we do D/L...will be interesting to see how all this competition plays out.

shows what shanny thinks of our current WR corps i guess. just waiting for next year when we draft either of the following:
aj green
julion jones
micheal floyd
jonathon baldwin (pitt)

all would be studly

[GusFrerotte]

Too many older FA Wrs in here for just competition in my view. You want to increase the competition just sign a bunch of undrafted guys. I think to be honest that the Shanny/Allen faction does not like the look of our WR corp. It is time to take off the blinders and to quit sipping the Kool Aid with these guys I guess. My guess is Kelly might be the only one safe if they indeed were looking to shop around Thomas. Mitchell is definitely under the gun. IF the FO thought the WR corp was set they wouldn't have signed so many WRs just for competition. They don't like what they see as a whole.

Or maybe James Rodgers of Oregon St. though his size could be an issue.

Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears selected Wade in the fifth round of the 2003 NFL Draft. His best season with the team came in 2004 when he caught forty-two passes for 481 yards. In 2005, Wade saw more playing time as a punt returner and scored the first touchdown of his career during the second week of the 2005 season. 2005 also saw 10 fumbles on the season by Wade, including four fumbles in one game.[2] He was released by the Bears late in the 2005 season.

10 fumbles in 2005, with 4 in one game. The NFL.com stats only state 10 receptions all season, and apparently 33 punt returns. That would mean he fumbled 23% of the time he touched the ball. That's almost like playing for the other team. He'd be the perfect receiver for Rex Grossman. <grin>

Camp fodder, definitely not there in September. We just need more competition, bodies in practice and older football players to mentor the young ones. May motivate people more if they think their job is on the line.

[GMScud]

He's a 4th or 5th WR at best. Shit, he's a Redskin now, and his player profile on NFL.com currently has him listed a KC Chief, and he's wearing a Minnesota uniform in his profile pic. Pretty much all you need to know about this signing.

I don't know where this rumor started but the only people I hear talking about it was fans on the message boards. I did see and hear through the media that Kelly was being shopped, but that was back when they were looking into Marshall and possibly a package trade for him.
