In the meantime Dan Snyder sits up in his office laughing maniacally about how he's going to sign every big name free agent now that Mike S. is out of the way, and Bruce Allen hides under his desk wishing he were back in Tampa. The madhouse will prevail!

Fixed.

No, but in my opinion, we're already a circus. The Haynesworth and McNabb stuff is still fresh in mind. We dont have a single offensive leader on this team and our two best offensive players are coming of drug suspensions. This doesnt mean they are circus clowns in the same category as someone like T.O., but it shows their lack of professionism, discipline, and dedication.

I feel our team is in a very precarious position. If we add another player who has demonstrated the same lack of professionalism, discipline, and dedication, without countering that with a solid PROVEN LEADER who demands instant respect, then i think theres a strong liklihood that bad things would happen.

It my opinion that we currently dont have enough professional, disciplined, and dedicated players on our roster. If we want to add another one to the mix, we need to compensate something we havent had in decades - a strong, talented, and proven leader at the QB position.

I know VJ had the drug suspension and the contract issues but where is the evidence that he is a locker room problem or has done anything to promote a "circus" environment? I think there are plenty of valid reasons to prefer not signing VJ but i don't think this is one of them...

The only thing I'd be concern with Jackson is that we would be 1-strike away from having our #1 WR, #1 TE, and our starting LT out for a whole season. I wonder if whatever team that signs him will include some type of discipline clause.

This is the most valid concern and if it happens then Phillip Daniels is going to have to really earn that new paycheck he is getting from the Redskins...

Yup. That's why I favor signing Garcon or Colston.

i'm a bit eh on VJ at 10mill a year or colston to big money without injury assurance.

I would have loved wallace, DJ, or bowe, but teams got stingy with letting their guys walk.

this may be a situation where no move is the best move, or more value guys (like gaffney). let hankerson play, take a flyer on r moss or plex for goal line scoring and short routes and GET A QB THAT CAN ACTUALLY PLAY!!

sorry.

[SkinzWin]

I'm in favor of Colston as our first choice.

I do, this team needs a number 1 and if we aren't drafting Blackmon or Floyd in the 1st then I wan't a WR in FA

Lots of receivers in this years draft look talented. I doubt we will give our second rounder away because I think they will use it on a WR. Trying to do what the Bengals did last year draft your starting QB and no 1 WR in the first two rounds.

The Redskins have plenty of young WR's...what they don't have is a legitimate #1WR. They are not going to find a player they can safely project as a #1 WR in the 2nd round of the draft.

IMO if we sign VJ that means we sign PM or a veteran FA starting QB.

Peyton won't be here. He wants another ring for sure and doesn't have much time left to do it. He is/should go to Cheifs, Houston, or 49ers.

When was the last time VJ got into trouble for his drug use? And if he's a concern cause he might get caught again and be sidelined then we might as well get rid of TW and Davis too since they are on their last leg also. No sense in taking risks.
