Add a Veteran WR?

Plus if, thats a big IF, we keep Cooley and Davis we wouldn't need to have a bunch of receivers.

while i dont want a TO or brandon marshall or anyone high priced . .i would like an aging veteran to help develop these young recievers. someone like a caldwell, fryar from years past.

maybe someone like issac bruce or another aging, not in high demand vet whom we could sign to a low dollar 1 year contract. we really need someone to come in and show these young guys how to study, prepare and condition for an nfl season. i'm not sure ARE has that tutelage capabilities and im almost positive moss doesnt.

having vet leadership serving as the no 5 wr on a 1.5 mil/1 yr contract would really help in my mind. a guy in his mid-30's who is willing to work with our youngings would be like another coach out there.

bring in a guy like issac bruce with his rings and accomplishments and these young guys might listen to him more than any other person.

I dont want TO if were bringing in a new rookie quarterback. I'd consider marshall, who would consequently make Moss more dangerous.

Marshall will command a draft pick possibly 1st or 2nd round. Issac Bruce is old and has said he's retiring. Lets see..... who does that leave? Hmmm.

There are much better options out there than the ones being mentioned here

I don't think we will or should add a WR but if we do one guy to keep an eye on is Antonio Bryant. Allen likes him.

Are you saying you want to enter 2010 with the same 5 WRs we have now? one would think ARE will be cut and we would need someone to replace him.

Move Moss to the slot, make Kelly and Thomas the 2 starters. Give Mitchell more playing time

I agree 100%, although i think mitchell could push kelly for the #2 slot. however, even in that scenario, we still need a fifth receiver.

I like it. Let's develop who we have.

Marko....Polo....

They may call it reloading but the next 2 years are rebuilding and we need to see the young guys catch passes past the LOS. If ARE is still here I will be suprised, but I don't want to see any action on a high-priced vetran (money/draft picks) until the OL/QB is solid.

I BELIEVE that the way the Broncos acquired Brandon Marshall in the first place was to use one of the draft picks they got from the Redskins as a result of the Skins trading up to get Jason Campbell. It is more owrk that it is worth to go and find the genesis of that draft selection, but I think that is the case.


Now if that is true, acquiring Marshall to catch passes from Jason Campbell would bring closure to the circumstances surrounding those drafts from a couple of years ago. I don't know if it would help the Redskins' team immensely, but it would effect closure.


And that is your Feelgood Moment of the Day...

The received our 4th-round pick in 2006, but I can't find whether it was ours that got them Marshall or Dumervil with that pick (both drafted in 2006, 4th-round).

That draft was one one the BEST EVER. They got Cutler, Scheffler, Marshall, Dumervil, a RG in Kuper.

Bryant is a baller, and he's not the problem child he once was.

We've just finished witnessing one of the most horrendous season in team history. Everyone, everywhere have on more than one occasion identified what this team's basic need is. When that is addressed "first" I'd be more than willing to discuss players at any other position. Until then, my thought process is like Mike Ditka's was when he traded the Saints entire draft for Ricky Williams, we need to be thinking O-line, O-line and more O-line. Until the issue is resolved nothing else matters. Skilled players are rendered moot without an O-line. O-line anybody!!

Thank you...well said....now i dont have to post since you handled it. Good job.

Hopefully ARE and Moss get traded cause they need to go. the only veterans I want in here would be Bryant and possibly Marshall. The thing with marshall is he is the baby TO and that wouldn't be good if we get a rookie QB.
