Re: Bernard Berrian
 

I would pick him over Porter but I don't know that either are the #1 WR the skins need. They need a guy who can be what Plax is to Eli and what TO is to Romo. The skins already have a couple WR's on the level of Berrian & Porter. I would consider Berrian though if the price is to high on CJ or Williams.

[QUOTE=rypper11;422495]Wouldn't Booker or Peerless Price (also FA's) be better options? Bryant Johnson is my dream (second to Larry Fitzgerald getting cut) but there are plenty of currently unemployed wr's and even more soon to be so. I know that Berrian has never had a QB and plays in an offense that is detrimental to wr's (evidence Mushin Muhammed) but I still think he is too similar to Moss and ARE.[/QUOTE]

Marty Booker....ummm NO! He hasnt had a good year since 02 and will be turning 33 this year....stay away from him.

and Peerless Price, come on dude. Same age 32 will be 33 and has had 3 touchdowns in 3 years. How do you even compare these two old men to BB??
Lets go young with this move.

Re: Bernard Berrian
 

Berrian is a good speed guy but not much else.

He's not the impact guy we're looking for.

You are correct on that assessment, however the only impact guys we could possibly get are:

Chad Johnson - who the Bengals won't trade and if they do trade are going to cost the Redskins two arms and two legs to get him. And I don't see that happening.

Larry Fitzgerald - If the Cardinals screw this up and release him, this would be a MUCH better option than CJ, since we wouldn't have to give up any picks.

Re: Bernard Berrian
 

why the hell would the cardinals release larry fitzgerald.... he's still in contract through next season and they already offered him a conract extension...

Why not Roy Williams of the Lions. The Lions are willing to trade him and is a Team player unlike Chad Johnson!

Re: Bernard Berrian
 

Personally I'm tired of the FA route for WR's. I mean we have Moss, ARE and LLoyd. All of them are making good $ and outside of Moss' 05 year the production hasn't been there. Berrian is a speed guy who is a good WR but he is going to want a lot of $. Will his production add up to what he's going to demand? Probably not.

Re: Bernard Berrian
 

We have to trade for Roy Williams to, thats what we would have to do to get fitzgerald also

Re: Bernard Berrian
 

Unless im wrong, Larry Fitzgerald is signed through next season isn't he?

Re: Bernard Berrian
 

I agree. But we all know DS is going to break the bank to get Chad Johnson. The only way we don't get Johnson is if the Bengals stick to their guns and don't trade him. If that happens I doubt DS will settle for Berrian or Porter and will go after the next available big name target....Roy Williams. If he's going to give up that much I'd rather have Williams than Johnson.

Re: Bernard Berrian
 

Fitzgerald is under contract though next season.

Re: Bernard Berrian
 

Ok, thought so. With that being said, i dont see fitzgerald wanting to go back to arizona after next season unless if they pull out some saints 06 miracle. I bet we could trade for fitzgerald if he doesnt accept their recent contract extension offer.. But again, it always takes 2 sides for a trade

Re: Bernard Berrian
 

me personally, I would rather keep who we have at WR giving Anthony Mix a shot at WR, and drafting a WR in the 2nd or 3rd round and use what ever cap space we have a signing a corner or LB. We have Lloyd, who I know people are down on, but given his success in the west coast at SF and the new regime things may be different with him. He would be on the field more consistantly instead of his one play every 10-15. Thrash should be back, Caldwell maybe. I just think we have some more pressing needs with the health of Carlos and Rocky up in the air. Defense is what wins championships, Giants most recently proven this. I think Moss and Randel El are a pretty decent tandem, and who knows what this Mix kid would bring. Big, Stong,and reasonably fast gives that big target the staff apparently desires. Plus you have cooley that lines up in the slot more in a west coast style. another thing to consider is Portis will be more in the field receiving more than he has been.

No doubt I think chad is great receiver, but overall i just dont see the need in giving him 50-60+million.

Re: Bernard Berrian
 

Berrian over CJ all day, I thought CJ was becoming out of the picture anyway. But i will gladly take briggs and berrian from the bears. I hope Rocky gets back to the way he was playing and remains the starter. He was really starting to impress me, bad break for the guy

Re: Bernard Berrian
 

Berrian has nowhere near the same amount of skills that CJ has. I think that if they were to go the berrian route that would be plain stupid. They should just draft a WR instead of Berrian. And even if we did get him he's not a #1 WR..
