Redskins do not yet have an agreement with free-agent WR Eddie Royal, but both sides working to get a deal done.

Doesnt Garcon drop everything thrown his way?

Pierre Garcon Drops Lots Of Passes, Austin Collie Doesn't - Stampede Blue


I hope Hankerson is cured of his problem drops, otherwise RGIII may have 2 guys blow to his confidence now, instead of just 1. Espicially if Kyle is calling 20+ yard passes on every 3rd and short.

Even though i sound bitter i love the fact we got 3 young, promising WR's instead of 1 tall WR looking to get paid. Excellet work so far.

I would agree that Gaffney's numbers likely represent his ceiling but its still solid production.
In fact it that exact same production as Garcon.

If we're paying a FA WR or any player on what they might become I would prefer not to give them 21mil upfront straight cash.
When there are other journeyman that present similar 'upside' for much less compensation.

At the end of the day the WR corp just got better, so I'm happy.
But I hope that giving Garcon a hefty amount the cap space doesn't preclude signing a starting caliber RT like Eric Winston or the captain and heart&soul of our defense London Fletcher.

What will the cap penalty be in 2014 when Morgan's contract automatically voids?

[Mahons21]

Crazy canuck, can you give me some insight on to what the "void" references in Morgan's contract?

[SirClintonPortis]

One thing is for sure, our offense has plenty of speed now. We might, dare I say, rival Philly in terms of speed on offense.

I will say this: Eddie Royal is one of the best bubble screen receivers you'll ever see.

Not sure without seeing the contract but basically just means there are provisions in there that will make a void in 2014 very likely.

It may mean the team and/or player can void after 2013. Or there could be a poison pill roster bonus in 2014 (ie like a $10M roster bonus which will most likely never be paid). But considering the deal is announced as 5 years $12M, doesn't seem to be a poison pill in there.
