Hear of any other FA targets at other positions? Would also love Rainey late, but his skill set is pretty similar to Helu. As a Gator alum though, I've enjoyed watching him make a lot of defenders miss and run through arm tackles. He could be special, definitely would be a good replacement for Banks returning kicks.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
He would be a Skin right now had it not been for AJ Smith playing hardball. I remember there being huge interest from us but weren't about to pay the price that AJ wanted.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
My guess is we land Colston.
He's looking for a big money deal, the kind that Snyder isn't afraid to dish out. |

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
Yeah but how much of Colston's success is Drew Brees? Because of all the WR cores in the NFL I feel NO's compliments each other the best not saying they are the best but:
Marcus Colston- Possession WR Lance Moore- Good route runner Devery Henderson- Stretches the field Robert Meachem- Good hands They each do one thing pretty well but none of them are spectacular but I would like Colston, but I would still draft a WR.

No doubt Brees is a monster, but I don't think Colston is a complete bum without him. |

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
Although I really like Colston I share your concerns above and agree that we should have WR's (especially a field stretcher) in our draft shopping cart.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
I want Eddie Royal. I agree that we probably will not get Colston because of the bidding wars but hes the other WR I want. I am so on the fence about FA QBs that I keep going back and forth on FA vs Draft so instead of putting it on my wishlist and looking for it under the tree, I am going to casually mention it to my parents so they will use their best judgement and hope for something awesome in the stocking ;-)

Eddie royal to me is nothing more than a PRKR, he's had like one good year and that was his rookie year

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
Some would have said the same thing about Moss when he was in NY. I am by no means saying Royal is our savior at WR.... He just makes the most sense when it comes to signing value vs signing possibility. He would be an upgrade from Moss, would contribute on ST, and would be cheap as we have "home field advantage" in signing him because he is from the area.

Game announcers further reported that Royal was almost certain to consider a move to Washington. I have not seen enough of him to make an intelligent comment/evaluation of his skills, but I do believe that he will be a Redskin in 2012. |

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
Yes, their good buddies.
I was joking with a buddy of mine the other day that said that the Redskins are building a Westfield High School backfield with Royster at RB, Royal at WR, and Mike Glennon at QB (coming out next year)
