Dream (but Realistic) Offseason

[SmootSmack]

So you would add Wilford, Bryant Johnson, and Chad Johnson to Moss and El? Who are your starters?

CJ and Wilford at would start at wide out. Santana Moss would be free and could move to the slot where he could excel (like Wes Welker, remember the trouble he caused us). Randle El and Bryant Johnson would provide dependable depth and should be rotated in frequently. With a receiving corp like this as well as good O-line, Cooley at TE, Portis in the backfield and Campbells arm strength to go deep, we should have an offense to rival the '08 Patriots.

Randle El depth? Tell me again how much he is getting paid? To sit on the bench and be DEPTH!?!?!?!?!?!

Trust me I don't know the number but I can promise you it is A LOT more than "depth" should be getting paid.

Well, he's producing at about the rate of a "depth" guy. 51 receptions for 728 yards and 1 touchdown?

Honestly, the Redskins could cut him and there wouldn't be that much of a difference on the field.

He may be producing like a depth guy, but he is being paid like a #2 WR. Most #2's in the league don't make as much as Randle El.

And if you cut him, all you do is add to the dead money that is a majority of the salary cap overage.

Kinda of like a divorce. You want it, you need it, but can't afford it.

You're right. Hopefully in that situation he would be willing to take a paycut. Last time I checked he had $30 million over a 6 year period. Thats a lot for a starter with his kind of production (receiver not over 1000 yards or at least 10 TDs).

Since the Santana Moss/Randle El/Brandon Lloyd experiment has pretty much been a dismal failure, I have no problems with your new wideout lineup.

Just not CJ -- he's a really expensive headache. I do like the idea of Wilford and Bryant Johnson though. Randle El can be the #4 receiver and catch punts or get released as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know CJ could bring a headache, but he could also bring size, speed, entertainment (I find his TD celebrations entertaining), double teams and headaches for opposing defenses. I know he is a risk but I think the benefits outweigh the risks. T.O. was like CJ and could have brought the Cowgirls headaches but he instead brought them success. CJ could do the same for us. I wouldn't want Randle El to be released: at $30 million that would cause a huge cap penalty.
