Uncharacteristic year for drops. Looking at the roster we had zero depth. I clapped when Galloway was let go but I did scratch my head at DThomas some but playing in all 16 games at 31 and making a push to be considered for pro bowl- how can we turn on Moss? We are a team of midgets but Moss gets it done.

That would be the smart thing to do. Resign Moss and try to sign one of the top tier FA [if we ever get around to it] to help him and Armstrong. We wont find a receiver in the draft that will contribute right away with all the other pressing needs we have.

I didn't know Colt Brennan was a speedy wide receiver.

He's a superstar that overcame many obstacles.

$5mil a year is a bargain for Moss. We'd be stupid to let him go if that's all he's asking for in a 2 or 3-year deal.

If you are talking about Hawaii or this website, then you are correct.

I said yes only because the Redskins do not have enough draft picks to fill all their needs. It least we know Santana Moss is productive. There is no guarantee a wide receiver draft pick will be successful and I would like to see the Skins get away from going after free agents all the time and start building through the draft.

This guy deserves to stay as long as he stays healthy.He came to Redskins to play and always gave 110%

You'd turn away the best receiver we've had this decade for the same reason you wouldn't offer Brett Favre a $20 million dollar contract despite a QB need: because the player you'd be paying for is available only in the past.

I think our passing offense was one of the better units on the team and Moss was a key part of that unit.

Armstrong also gave solid production despite sitting behind Joey Galloway for the first few games.

We have a trio of yong WRs waiting an opportunity to earn their stripes.
We're a rebuilding team and a key aspect of team building is player development.
But, they'll need playing time and targets to prove their value and if another WR is brought in then we'll never know what these receivers could be given more targets/opportunity.

Then we also have 2 solid TEs that could be utilized in a more efficient/productive manner.

I expect an uptick in production from the passing game as a result of just having another year in the system and making better use of our current personnel.
Losing the main cog in our passing game removes the benefit of system fit/system knowledge.

Most of the usual pessimists and a bunch of guys I've never heard of.
