Jabar Gaffney Released

IrMitchell · 05-01-2012, 11:40 AM

My only issue is that last year Gaffney was far and away our best receiver. Lack of speed didn't stop him.

On the other hand when you bring in two free agents and get a highly ranked prospect back from injury, somebody's gotta go and we have cap issues.

Good luck wherever you go Jabar, you played well here.

That is like saying he was the tallest dwarf.

The Skins passing attack in 2011 was miserable. A lot of that came from the QB competencies - - or lack thereof. A good enough part of that came from the fact that the Skins' WRs - - every last one of them - - was mediocre at the very best.

If you want to anoint Gaffney as "the best of the mediocre lot", fine. But do not get carried away and think that he is a valuable property as an NFL WR.

That's actually kind of a big deal.

Moss was our best receiver AINEC.

He did a nice job last year, but he's moving on to his 5th team for a reason. I wish him luck.

JoeRedskin · 05-01-2012, 12:06 PM

He was a solid player but clearly a stop-gap at best. Good luck to him.

This....... better suited for a 3rd or 4th receiver role not one or two.

Ok so Gaffney is released, who do they sign to take his place or atleast who do they sign to take his place on the roster if not another WR?

Gaffney's been told that they may be willing to bring him back later this summer but he wouldn't be competing for a starting spot and it would be for....wait for it....the vet min

Naturally, he's not interested in any of that. Not now at least

Also...how would you all feel about Jacoby Jones?

I would not be happy with Jacoby,he's not an upgrade over Jabar.Being in Houston I've seen more of Jacoby then I want to.He occasionally has a good return,that's about all he's good for

As mentioned, this would be a good pickup; can play slot WR and return punts and kicks... heard he turned down more money from us last year to sign back with Houston.

Yeah htownskinfan had said that. I think I heard the Saints might be interested
