1. Austin Hooper - Obvious

2. Kenyan Drake - WTF....I like the guy but why bring back AP. Or even draft Love last year?

3. Amari Cooper - Makes sense

I didn't even consider of Drake when thinking about Redskins' (or mine) FA wish list.. It's tough to figure out Drake - Drake didn't do much with Miami beside a few great games (alot of this is because of coach Gase) and then did fantastic job with Arizona except for a couple of games where he didn't do anything. Because Redskins do not have a reliable RB who can make big plays, I can understand why they are looking into Drake. I wouldn't be upset if we sign Drake although I wonder if this would mean we will cut Peterson or perhaps Bryce Love. Or keep 4 RBs on the roster.

We'd all love for Guice to be that guy but he can't be relied on. So the team really has to go out and look at options, the draft is light for RBs this yr , Peterson is 34 years old, I think Drake makes a ton of sense

Well during the season I mentioned RB in free agency should be a target but when bringing AP back at this low cap number I wouldn’t think we would go there. Of course I’ve been told Love was a great pick...����*♂️.

I’m a big fan of a rb being a natural receiver as well...AP isn’t that. I’d like K Hunt but he keeps smokin weed and is restricted, but I like Drake. Wouldn’t be against it...but can’t be a crazy deal.

I think Amari is gonna be a crazy contract...I would probably pass. But like I’ve said if your gonna pay a wr in free agency, he’s the only one proven

Personally I agree about the contract, and would also pass.

Yeah, maybe we're just messing with the Cowboys a little bit here. Maybe trying to get them to spend even more on Cooper.

Agree with you and skinsfan's point regarding Drake.

I would pass on Cooper personally. I know many don't share my opinion but I really like our top 3 receivers so I don't feel like it's necessary for Redskins to spend big on WR.

I would pass on Cooper as well. Unless a WR is a true game breaker, I wouldnt invest high end money on 1 wr. Id rather have a stable of receivers.

Are there any true WR game breakers outside of Michael Thomas? Deandre Hopkins and Julio Jones are studs. Larry Fitzgerald is old and OBJ is weird. But there is no Moss, TO, Calvin Johnson, Antonio Brown etc. Someone that can produce above their scheme and QB. Give me pieces like the Rams and Chiefs have. A really good wr (top 10-15 type), a speed guy, a good route runner guy, etc

I would not make Amari Cooper (a nice player) the highest paid WR in the league.
