Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan

[Sonny9TD]

Great additions for the Hogs. Almost like we got our 2nd round draft choice back and one of our 1st round draft choices back. Royal was a 42nd pick which is 2nd round and Garcon and Joshua Morgan both are worth a 1st round choice. Redskins getting it done and we are going to the playoffs.

Is Eddie Royal official yet?

Pierre Garcon, even though expensive, was the perfect risk at this time for the Skins. He had a stretch mid to late last season where he was uncoverable. He is the perfect age entering prime so I believe this is a better signing than the injury risk, older colston or the system-highlighted, one strike away V Jax.

Morgan is a really good contract which we are taking a chance on to see if he can be a reliable system fit. So far so good.

I love the youth movement

It's so funny when i hear ya'll say "we overpaid for this player or that player" like we are the Patriots or a some team that is not 11-21 since shanny has got here. Im sorry you have to pay a premuim for talent when you suck.

Suck it up and enjoy the ride!

Give it up man, he's the 8th highest paid wide receiver in the league.

I don't care if we suck or not, that's unjustifiable.

The guy has shown steady improvement and has the ability to be a top 10 WR. No injury history, no off field issues, produced in a bad offense. depth threat and good run after the catch. good size. 42 mil is better than 55 mil to vjax.

If Garcon has the ability to be a top 10 WR than so does about 50 other receivers.

I agree with everything else.

So you would rank 50 other WRs in the league as high or higher as Garcon?

Show me the numbers of WR salary if anyone can post. I'd like to compare but again garcon is a number 1 for us now with Hank or Morgan the number 2

Once contract details are revealed, I'll bet that these deals, like all B. Allen contracts, protect the team & will allow us to cut Garcon in future years w/out much pain. As usual, the #s reported are always eye catching.

Free agency, especially the first couple days, always produces several bloated contracts. That's why players love it, it's not about who's the best & what they deserve, it's about who's the best available & what are you willing to bid. The first days of free agency are totally a sellers market.

I know that's stating the obvious and I know that it is relevant that Garcon is 8th highest paid, etc. Just don't get caught up in that too much. Instead, ask if the signing is right for the skins and I think it is. I'm so happy VJax is headed elsewhere. Garcon has upside. Love Josh Morgan, I said during his sr. year at VT that he was a guy that would make it. Steady role player, don't be surprised to see him on spec. teams.

very good point, it is all about the eye pop. Remember when we gave the extention to McNabb...people just focused on the big number, not the details

I'm ok with Garcon's deal. He turned down $7M per year from the Colts, so naturally his price was only going to go up from there in free agency. I'd much rather give that type of money to a young player on the rise like him, than Vincent Jackson who is on the cusp of 30 and has off the field issues.

Exactly! Vinny signs Vjax, he made no sense for us. I like the idea of surrounding RGIII with young guys that will grow with him.


We paid for what Garcon can be vs. the Vinny days when we paid guys for what they were.
