You have good things to say and you actually read posts. That's cool.

Welcome to the board!

I'm OK with bringing in Garcon and Morgan.
I would rather keep Moss than sign Royal. They are too similar and I would rather have a veteran WR in the locker room. also, pretty much every time I watch Royal play, he fumbles. I can't remember a WR fumbling that much.

If they are going to sign a 3rd WR, I would like for us to get Ted Ginn JR so he can replace Banks and add more speed to the team.

I don't get the we-overpaid-for-Garcon crowd. Indy offered him $7 mil a year and we had to offer just a bit more to get him. That's what we did. It's not like we threw VJax money at him.

Griffin to Garcon is going to rule.

He should wear #3. It will be a nice marketing thing too.

^Might be, but Chris Paul does that now.

I agree on Garcon's price. We are at a point where we are bringing in younger talent that hopefully is on the rise, and paying competitively (not crazy dollars). I think the Skins fan base just has become a little schizo as we get back to a sane FO situation. Get Everybody -- Don't pay HIM.

That said, one thing I do hope, is that we are properly valuing our own. This FO has spent alot of efforts, FA signings/later draft picks, on WR, and I would like us to find some of those diamond in the roughs.

Yeah, but the 3 is actually part of Griffin's name. If anyone should wear the number, it's him.


Too bad he can't wear #111.

That would be incredible.

Curran's knee-jerk reactions to Day 1 of free agency

Please don't cut Gaffney. He was the only competent WR last year. I know he'll never be great, but he is a good, reliable veteran that posted decent numbers. Is he due to make a lot of money?

Typical over reactionary BS. Dudes act like we gave him a Calvin Johnson contract or something. He was considered the third best WR prospect (production/age combo) in free agency and he got the 2nd best contract, mostly because Colston went back to NO and he's had 2 micro fracture surgeries in the past 26 months. He got a contract that when it's all said and done will be around market for a moderately productive WR who is 26 years old and his curve is ascending.

I think that the perfect offseason for some people would be if we:
-Re-signed all of our players whose jerseys they have hanging in their closet
-In free agency signed young, All pro players (preferably guards and tackles) to incentive laden contracts with a base salary of what else, VET MIN
-Repeatedly traded down until we had 2 picks in every round (not sure if they'd ever be used though)

And of course, win 13 games with 'young, hungry' players.

If we also sign Royal... where does Gaffney fit in?

Jabar Gaffney was indeed our best WR last season. He would have been our leading receiver even if Moss didn't get injured. If the Redskins cut Gaffney, that would really surprise me.

Nope, I think it's just getting crowded at the position. We need to keep him.


New England has just stated they'll bring him back if we cut him.

It may be a mild surprise only because we'd probably prefer someone with some experience in the system but he's really just an older version of Morgan. He's got no deep speed and is a possession receiver. I can see him in our rotation next year but I can just as easily see us moving on from him.
