He had a career year in 2011 and was a solid route-runner. But Gaffney didn't scare defenses and managed only 172 yards after the catch on 68 receptions. Hard to see where he'd fit in if the Redskins get all three receivers. "

I agree 10000%. Paul to me is a keeper, Gaffney might have a tough time especially gets tougher with Eddie Royal.

I can definitely understand why Gaffney could be out. Solid possession guy, but he doesn't scare defenses and he doesn't do anything after the catch.

But, he made the big catches last season. He had a couple of drops, but Moss, Stallworth and Armstrong couldn't hold onto big catches to save their lives. Gaffney caught almost every ball and was reliable in the red zone.

He'll be back.

Garcon doesn't have great hands though, I'd rather see them get a guy with sure hands. Not to mention his contract is redskins stupid money. Morgan was a great pickup, very underrated guy, should do very well IMO.

I like that we are getting/targeting players that have a deep affinity for the Redskins as it is. It gives them incentive to play that much harder. Very smart move.

Yeah, kinda feel bad for Gaffney but that is the business. Everyone throws around trades for players that are outlandish and dont stand a chance, but Gaffney could hold a late round trade value if the situation presents itself.
