I'm not too big on Holmes, solid player but not a dominant WR. I'd take him but not for big time $
Interesting pun. That's the problem, he's not so big himself. He's 5'11".
We'd be trading SantanA for SantonIO. Not to mention he carries more baggage than Santana -- Holmes has his substance abuse problems.

I really hope the front office (shanny) make resigning Moss a priority vs. signing Holmes. This would be the exact moves this franchise has made over the last 11 years. Letting your core guys leave to bring in a FA. We have to rid ourselves of these moves. We have young receivers and we need to develop them. Same as RB's, no need in bringing in a veteran. LB's, we have some young talent there. Lichensleiger (SP), Montgomery, seem to be ready to step up and play center. Let them compete for the job, Raymer has been good, but he may serve as a better back up at this point. We really need to develop our young talent.

All indications seem to point to that.

There are a lot of players on that list who are worth a shot. I'm very interested to see who the Skins sign.

So far the SKINS FO hide their moves well. The players we are going to bring in probably haven't even been talked about anywhere yet IMO.

Very good point. Which is why I don't get why people get up in arms about any rumors about possible FAs, etc., etc.

I'd rather get Alan Branch without having to give up picks.

I'm really torn on this one.. On one hand Moss is one of my favorite players of recent Redskins teams and I'd hate to see him leave.. However he has some infuriating drops, is 32 and has battled leg injuries (although he's toughed them out) in recent years.
On the other hand, while Holmes seems to signal "same old Redskins" he's 26, a SB champ, proven clutch performer, great hands/speed combination and a top 15 WR in the league. If it wasn't for his off the field issues he would be as coveted of a FA receiver there ever has been on the open market.
If we made this move, everyone would be up in arms but I think this would turn out differently than previous FA forays..
How about both? Holmes, Hankerson, Moss, Armstrong, Kelly/Paul, Banks/Robinson? I wouldn't hate that.
