By a mile it's John Keim of the Washington Examiner.

I barely read the Post anymore.

What did Graziano say? Haven't been paying attention

Keim is great, absolutely great. But I put Rich Campbell of the Washington Times right up there with him

Rich Tandler and Dave Elfin are solid but Keim and Campbell are probably the best

Agree on Rich Campbell.

Tweet 1: Redskins r only potential fit I see. RT @paul_m_cox1: @espn_nfceast do you see any of the nfc east teams making a move for brandon lloyd?

Tweet 2 (6 minutes later): Wow. For the record, no, I do not think the Redskins will pursue Brandon Lloyd. But of NFCE teams, that's the only one where he'd fit. OK?

Hopeless in the nuances English language like fair chunk of people, you failed to comprehend that being a "fit" for anything does not necessarily mean you are going to be pursued and obtained for use. There is no backpedaling, only your failure to comprehend the nuance. I'm sure a BMW or Mercedes would "fit" alot of people, but they sure as hell ain't gonna buy one barring lottery wins or the like.

Lloyd is a #1. However, New York has Cruz and Nicks, Philly has Maclin and Jackson, and Dallas has Austin and Bryant. There is no way Lloyd is going to crack those pairings. We have Moss and Gaffney. Gaff is a good possession receiver but can be bumped down. Moss is not the elite deep threat anymore. Lloyd would be the #1 here, so indeed, he is a fit here.

Doesn't the concept of "fit" take into account, I don't know, your history with the organization? How can you "fit" with an organization that got rid of you after being an abject failure and embarassment for several years? How many TD passes did he catch as a Redskin again?

Pretty easy to be misunderstood on Twitter.

Knowing Mr. Graziano, as limited as I do, I'm certain that was not a back-pedal

re: Update: Lloyd Reportedly Traded to Rams

Here's how I view our receiving..

We currently have Santana who needs to be on the field every game, without question.
Gaffney is currently playing like a #2 making clutch receptions and most importantly, he's got history with Rex.

Bringing in Lloyd as a #1 and pushing Moss and Gaffney back would clearly help, but let's not forget we have this guy named Anthony Armstrong who is one year removed from a 900 year season (give or take) that is recovering from injury and got off to a slow start with Rex.. I fully expect AA to mesh in as the third threat soon.

Is it worth the 3rd or 4th for Lloyd? Because the truth is our defense is going to allow this team to win and adding another 1000 yard receiver, isn't going to do much when we currently have three legitimate options who are already being held back due to a bad quarterback (Rex).

And I mean, clearly the name Brandon Lloyd isn't the favorite for the Washington Redskins for obvious reasons.

Denver Broncos exploring trade offers for Brandon Lloyd, according to report - ESPN
He is their leading WR and I think on a better team he might have better numbers. Not sure what he is like as a person that may have something to do with the trade but as far a talent I don't think he is one hit wonder.

When did Lloyd play for Shanahan? MS was fired by Denver on December 30, 2008; Lloyd was signed June 15, 2009. Wikipedia don't fail me now...

He didnt, I said he be good, just to use for one year under Shanny, and he probably not as bad of a guy as you guys think........ He could come in and play right next to Moss........ which would give us legit WR......

I wasn't surprised when I learned of this.When he stared 'saying all the right things' during the off-season (about working with Tebow), it just felt like an omen.
