Not that this is a problem at all. Survival of the fittest is a fine approach to weeding out the weaker players at the receiver position. It's just weird that a team would invest more than $7 million cap dollars (a very large amount) at the Z receiver position to replace Armstrong and not get at least one player with a better track record than Armstrong.

Not that I'm complaining about the depth or anything. This team is just weird.

I partially agree here in that one or possibly two of these guys won't be here in 2013. I think they're just setting up the team for a future draft. But you don't go from where the Redskins were last season to , say, the Giants WR corps overnight. It takes a couple of draft cycles to get there and this is big step in that direction.

Now as far as comparing Armstrong's track with these, I feel you're way off the mark. I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "track record".

All in all it's an upgrade and will get over this hump onto to the next one.
