Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan

[SirClintonPortis]

I wonder how Santana Moss was received way back when we first got him and then after he broke out.

Garcon has the potential to do something similar to that for us.

Well Shanahan's opinion is slightly more important.

No kidding.

I love these signings. Instead of getting Jackson, we have two solid WR pickups, possibly three for the same price.


Notice what kind of WRs we're getting, Garcon and Morgan are HUGE yards-after-catch guys. Garcon's average is 2 yards better than V-Jax' YAC. These guys should make some huge plays with RG3. They're exactly the kind of WRs that fit with his deep ball ability.

Now, our WR group looks amazing:

Garcon
Moss
Morgan
Hankerson
Gaffney
Paul
Armstrong?

If we sign Royal, we may try to deal Moss, if not I'd remove Armstrong from the list, which is unfortunate because he's blazing fast. He drops too many TDs though. We need to hold onto Hankerson and Niles Paul though.


Now, we need to focus on Right Tackle and Safety....and London Fletcher.

I think we're jumping the shark on Garcon's salary. Answer me this, how often does a player NOT get overpaid in this day and age? If we take a step back from all the noise and fury, it's all about the guaranteed money up front.

Garcon was probably the third most coveted receiver on the market. VJAX, Coltston, and Garcon in that order, unless I'm missing someone?

Considering the guaranteed money given to both players, which are few years older than Garcon, I think we got decent relative value.

I keep looking at the actual guaranteed money...which I think it is somewhere between 13 to 16 mil, than the reported 21 mil. In a competitive market you got pay some guys a little bit. All of these wideouts are not the typical aging/pricey FAs we've gotten in the past. In the end, it is all about what MS wants and what we can work out given this big dump the NFL took on our team.

As with all acquisitions, of course we can't make full judgement until we see production on the field. Still, I think this team is headed in the right direction and we are making some good moves.

Actually, for his abilities compared to the other big name WR signings, I think we got a bargain with Garcon. He and RG3 are going to make some beautiful music together.

Pondering Santana Moss' future - Washington Times

[SBXVII]

Funny I went to bed with the notion we had resigned Carriker and signed 3 WR free agents. I wake up today and hear Carriker and 2 WR's and the team is trying to woo Royal. Radio talking about Royal maybe now seeing the other 2 WR's might not want to come here.

Stallworth will be gone
Austin should go
Banks should go

The 2 new and possibly 3rd WR would take those spots. However, one could make the case for Armstrong, Gaffney (although somewhat productive last yr), and Robertson being gone.

I'm figuring who is definite to stay:

1-Garcon
2-Morgan
3-Hankerson
4-Moss (?)
5-Gaffney
6-Paul

7th on the PS? Robertson again? or will they keep Armstrong because of his speed and hope he learns from Garcon? Will Moss be let go?

[MTK]

I think Royal is finding more interest out there than perhaps he anticipated.

[RGIII]

Garcon, although a former late round draft pick, has earned his money. Cruz will get paid (even more) too. Cruz has leverage to demand a new contract now.
