Jamal Reynolds ... Fair Game... but who wants to play??

Here is the thing, he didn't pass the physical, but these physicals are anything but simple. He certainly has some knee problems, but is he likely to recover fully? We have the chance to sign him at the league minimum salary or very close to it. If he has the right character and the right work ethic then I say sign him to a 2 or 3 year contract (with little or no bonus) that is extremely performance incentive based. That is not to say that I know too much about his character or work ethic, so if anyine knows anything about this aspect I'd love to hear it.

Can everyone here focus for a moment on the Packers/Colts deal that was in place?

Reynolds was a first round pick of the Packers not too long ago. However, his on-field productivity in the NFL has been "disappointing" to be most polite. If you want candor, he has stunk like a skunk's butt. What did he bring in trade value? A conditional 7th round pick that could be upgraded to a 6th round pick if he was in on more than a certain percentage of the Indy defensive snaps.

Please remember this the next time someone here proposes that the Redskins trade their 4th wide receiver for two first round picks and a player. Market value for players who have not demonstrated a high level of on-field productivity in the MFL is really pretty meager. People take chances drafting someone; people usually don't take chances on other teams' castoffs or scrubs.

The Skins d-line is still pretty weak, but Jamal Reynolds is not enough of an upgrade to take the chance that he will be healthy and able to play.
