No. Unless we're keeping 8 we do not need to add any more to the potential roster.

If we re-sign Moss, we're set not only for this year, but looking great for the future if a couple of the draft picks can work out for us.

My picks for making the team:
S. Moss
A. Armstrong
L. Hankerson
T. Austin
B. Banks
N. Paul or A. Robinson with the other one going to PS

Not on roster Opening Day:
M. Kelly
T. Johnson
R. Williams
M. Price

I don't get why people would want to sign Plaxico Burress after two years away, but think Santana Moss should walk.

Not saying anyone specifically, but in places I frequent, that seems to be the sentiment. Washington has an obsession with tall receivers...

Makes no sense.

Re-sign Moss and stay away from a guy who's 34 and hasn't played ball in 2 years.

The fans maybe, but certainly not the team. We never have productive tall receivers.

Yeah that's what I meant.

Funny thing is, Vinny finally gave them what they wanted and drafted two of the tallest receivers in the 2008 draft, and neither of them have turned into anything.

Talk about a case of "be careful what you wish for"...

It is not in Mike Shanahan's history to sign expensive big name FA WR's. So I would say we will not be interested. Shanahan's history is finding diamond in the rough WR's and RB's, not big name,

I'm not sure how legitimate it is that there are two teams genuinely interested in Plax. But Rosenhaus has to say two so any team thinks they're competing with at least one other.

I don't know, but I don't think he's really on our radar. I think it's the Eagles or Rams, with the Ravens a distant possibility

I like it that there's some competition at WR & Kelly is such an x factor. I don't think Plax is at all right for this team.

Re: Plaxico out of jail; on the radar of two teams according to Rosenhaus

After the trend in the draft picks this season, questionable guys like Plaxico are a longshot to coming here. Plus, we have a ton of guys already trying to compete for a spot at WR.

So what about the Redskins? Well, John Clayton was just on NFL Live, and his top 4 as far as likelihood to sign Burress were: 1) Eagles 2) Redskins 3) Rams 4) Jets. Interesting.

Are the Redskins one of the two teams supposedly interested? Do you think we should sign Plax?

I think we are in fact one of the two teams, but I'm not so sure about signing him.

Plaxico Burress on radar for 2 teams, agent Drew Rosenhaus says - ESPN
Ok I haven't been paying attention to details but why the Eagles? They have two solid WRs. Am I missing something.

Big redzone threat, several Eagles have publicly and not as publicly voiced support for him. And he would stay in the NFC East, which I really don't know how much that matters to Plax

IMHO.....I think it's a team in Fla...any team,it's home and he won't need to register his new gun in 2 states.

If we're going to break the bank we'd be better off doing it with Jenkins, Franklin, and Joesph. And it seems that only two of them are going to be available.
