Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan

[T.O.Killa]

Eric Wright and although no one has mentioned it, I think they are dealing with Reggie Nelson. Also, our CB Barnes will be moving to saftey.

Deep threats and screen threats.

Aren't you always skeptical? At least you're consistent. Maybe shanny thinks these guys skill sets mesh well with our offensive scheme and RG3. Eddie Royal has a connection with Shanny in Denver. Morgan and Garcon both young and fast. Be happy we aren't settling for the status quo. Or don't, your choice...

Most of them, except for Hankerson are bottom-rounders that had little chance to make it.

Can we keep them all?
There seems to be a lot of redundancy in that group

Sure. They all would be competing for playing time and depth. But it would appear that Stallworth, Anderson, and Armstrong are on their way out.

Guess you forgot about last year already.

Outside of Gaffney who is mostly a possession guy, we had nobody that could stretch the field or make plays after the catch.

Carriker
2012: $2,750

2014: $5,750
2015: $6,750
TOTAL: $20,000

Garcon
2012: $7,300

2014: $8,300
2015: $9,300
2016: $10,300
TOTAL: $42,500

Morgan
2012: $2,200
2013: $2,300
2014: $2,500
2015: $2,500
2016: $2,500
TOTAL: $12,000

But, but, but, free agency was taken from us! This can't be!

[NYCSkin]

If Moss gets cut after June 1 doesn't that save the Skins over $3 million? I thought his deadcap number significantly drops after June 1.

I think DHall saves us over $6 million when cut after June 1.

I would let those two guys go and use their projected savings towards Fletcher.

I also heard something about the Skins being interested in John Carlson? If true, that might not bode well for Cooley. Although perhaps Cooley could be moved to backup FB in the spot just vacated by the Mike Sellers release...

Lol... I love how this $36M cap charge has been the talk of the town, yet the Skins come out firing on all cylinders.

Why we already have a very good fullback on the roster

[REDSKINS4ever]

I wonder what's going on with talks with London Fletcher.

There's only one thing left to do: troll the league by storm by having a season in which we make it to least the divisional round, and preferably the championship round.
