Holt released by Rams

if you could get holt or harrison in super cheap, it might be worthwhile to have them help the rookies... i don't know how much they'd want though.

The only thing that's going to help the young guys are themselves. They've already got two pros in front of them in Moss and ARE. I don't think we need Holt or Harrison.

Are you really serious? Holt is 33 and ain't getting any younger. We have two young WR'S that need to prove their worth. It makes no sense to get Holt, were not in fantasy football. Our offense does not suck, and Holt it is not even close to Moss talent wise. Seriously dude, quit grabbin on Holt's jock, HE'S NOT THAT GOOD!! There's a reason why the Rams didn't pay the roster bonus to keep him. That alone should tell you something.

:doh:

I know Holt's age...he's got 3 solid years left...he is a 7 time probowler...the rookies have shown zero so far and ARE is average at best...yes Moss is solid...if he is on the field...if he goes down we have no WR threats...
and the offense does suck...what...I think 28th in the league or something?
How's that good?

Holt hasn't missed a game ....EVER...keep that in mind.
He is rock solid and I'm telling you...if the Eagles or Dallas get's him, they are instantly better...we would be too...just because Taylor didn't do well, doesn't mean Holt wouldn't...I bet if you were offered Holt prior to last year yardage drop, you'd be humping his leg....be realistic...there is NO chance either of the Rookies will ever reach Holts level....quite frankly, I doubt Moss will either...and no way ARE even belongs in the same sentance.
Holt is solid...he would make the WR team instantly better...unless you think Thrash is our clutch vet that can train up the rookies....Duh back to you.

Holt has always been a great receiver but it's time for the rooks to step up and the best way to do that is by playing them.

Agreed. Sink or swim. Kelly and Thomas have had time to 1) learn the playbook front to back 2) become crisp(er) route runners 3) build chemistry w/ JC. It's time to really test them both. We all know what Moss and ARL can do and they're gonna be there all season... let Kelly and Thomas take like 75% of the snaps in preseason.

No way. He was released by the Rams...the 2008 Rams, not the 1999 Rams. There's a very good reason he is unemployed right now, he's no longer a #1 WR. I see him being a nice complement in New England or now in Buffalo. An aging WR clearly on the decline...he's definitely not what the Redskins need.

The Rams are in rebuilding mode.
His drop off in play had more to do with all the injuries the Rams had last year.

He is an older guy but he was never a speed burner. Holt is one of the best route runners ever. I think he will have a 80+ catch year next year if he is in the right environment. I hope he doesn't end up in Philly.

This.

He could be and was and has been and probably might be and most likely is still a very good NFL player. Holt would make us much better in the WR department IMO. Our situation is just tricky right now because our second year receivers are fragile in mind and body and heart.

im on the fence with this. but if the skins are planning to bring Thrash back, i would much rather have Holt

Sometimes I'm glad fans aren't GM's because we'd really suck. First off the reason why our offense "sucked" was because our pass pro was awful, it was not the receivers fault. Many people have already said this, you have to give Kelley and Thomas a chance to develope, 1 year is not enough. Don't you realize WR is not a need? What does that tell Thomas and Kelley if we got Holt? You were probably one of those guys that wanted TO in DC. He's 33 and declining it makes no sense to sign him considering he played in the spread O not the WCO. What's up with this love fetish w/ Holt? WE'RE NOT PLAYING FANTASY FOOTBALL DUDE!!! You can't have every big name FA that gets released, you have to be realistic, IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN BUDDY!

I don't understand your viewpoint about our young receivers. The NFL isn't kindergarten. If Holt can help us and he's affordable, then the FO should bring him in, even if it slows the young WR's short-term development. The young WR's would simply play less until they improve enough to beat him out. Holt would push them and he could also teach them. That would be a good thing, IMO.
