Jerry Porter? Better, cheaper, option at WR...

I've watched this guy play and at times he has looked unstoppable other times he has looked like bum. I think if he's heart is in it and being a DC native might be worth the risk at a cost efficient rate.

Seriously though, he's got the talent but will his attitude do a 180 outside of Oakland?

His attitude was fine last year. He only had problems when Art Shell was the coach.

Don't know just how much JP has left. His production/or lack thereof could be a bi-product of the overall instability with the Raiders. He is a local, but haven't heard his name mentioned in Redskin circles. Being a FA I'm sure his name has been brought up at some point.

Not buying it.. 6'2 220 pound WR with NFL expirience (8 years)??? How did that work out for the Bengals when they took Michael Westbrook (6'3 220 lbs) in 2002?..

Look at these stats after 8 years
Porter--284 catches 3900 yards 30 tds

Westbrook--285 catches 4300 yards 26 tds... Porter IMO wouldnt even be a band-aid at this point.. we should draft or try for #85.

Porter=Westbrook... and that aint good!

Do not compare Mike Westbrook to Joey Porter, there is a huge difference Mike didn't have any class as a person or a player. Comparing stats is one thing, but we have seen guys revive their careers with a location change...aka, Santana Moss

I didnt say their character.. i compared their size, and stats..and We didnt get Santana Moss at 30 years old right??

I'm not saying we got him at 30, but his career was looking like it was going to end due to injuries and lack luster performance.

I didn't say you were talking character, I am talking character when it comes to Westbrook, that was my point as to why there is a difference between them.

I guess I like the idea simply because he's a big guy, but he's not a very good receiver. He looked great back when he was a #3 behind Rice and Brown and he hasn't shown me much since that time. I'm not sure I'm in favor of bringing him in, he's not a significant upgrade over anyone we have on our roster (I mean starting). I guess he could move Randle El into the slot, but then Randle El would be starting again by week 6 when Santana gets hurt.

I think this team really needs to get an elite receiver, be it through the draft or whatever. I do agree that giving up a #1 for Chad is too much, but there has to be a cheaper route. If not, I'd rather spend the 2nd round pick on a wide out.

I say that Javon Walker is a better option if he becomes available, though the injury bug concerns me. However I think that he can give us one or two good years as well as take the chance to use the draft to acquire young talent. Porter has never gotten over a 1,000 yards in a season, though Randy Moss could barely get a 1,000 yard season playing for the Raiders so I wouldn't be oppopsed to bringing him in either.

In my opinion Porter is the more solid choice but Walker has a higher upside and the potential to be the type of elite WR that DS is trying to bring to Redskin Park. Its also worth noting that both have experience in the WCO.

Perfect description of him.

For those afraid of Chad Johnson's antics, Porter is a true cancer.
