Looks like we just signed Roydell Williams. Maybe Zorn is gonna try a 5 wide out offense this year?

What happened to him last year? Didn't he have a bad injury that kept him out all season?

re: Skins look to improve WR-Sign Roydell Williams (could add Hackett)
 

He broke his ankle and the end of the 2007 season. Titans drafted Kenny Britt so I guess Williams became expendable...

re: Skins look to improve WR-Sign Roydell Williams (could add Hackett)
 

Roydell had good games (2-3 games I can remamber) in 2007 when Young was the QB and would have been even better passing stats if Vince Young hadn't run so often. I am confident though that our young rookies will step and compete with Roydell and Hackett instead of seeing this move as giving up on Kelly &/or Thomas.

I wonder how much Sherman Smith pushed for this signing, he must know him from their days together in Tennessee right?

re: Skins look to improve WR-Sign Roydell Williams (could add Hackett)
 

I wonder if we can bring all these guys in because we are the first to have veterans into camp and other teams will try and have them in and sign them also. It just seems weird that we seem to be the only ones who are getting all of these solid veterans come in.

Roydell Williams is a pretty inspired signing. Even if he doesn't end up making the team, I like the direction that this is going in.

I wanna see if Malcolm Kelly can step up..Injured or not now is the time

[quote=skinsfan_nn;554347]With all the pulled hamstrings at the WR position.....again? I like the move to add veteran depth at the receiver position.

Posted at 12:04 PM ET, 05/ 3/2009 [B]Skins Offer Deals to Washington, Hackett (Updated)[/B]

The Redskins have offered contracts to veteran free agent wide receivers Kelley Washington and D.J. Hackett, who participated in minicamp this weekend, a league source said. Washington is expected to decide on the Redskins' offer after visiting the Baltimore Ravens this week. Hackett was expected to take a physical this afternoon and planned to sign with the team today, a league source said.[/quote]

Hackett and Washington Deals offered, but not accepted yet!

These guys must be fishing for bigger contracts or something.

If you're out of work, and someone offers, I cannot understand not accepting!

Because I'm sure they will get vet min offers from other teams, so why not wait a little and see if they can get a couple HUNDRED THOUSAND more? I completely see why they are waiting.
Look at it from their perspective. If you KNEW you would sign on with a company before August (say at 50k a year), but knew other companies were "interested" at the same level of pay, and possibly more, wouldn't you take that shot too? What if another company offers the same position, but for 60k, or 70k? Which one will you take?

Yes. I'll bet they are considering playing time, too. If they are offered vet min everywhere, they'll take the shot which they think offers them the best opportunity to play.

I think it is good. If we were signing guys that no one else wanted, that might be a problem.

I change my position how is this an upgrade

Were you the guy that told Merriman to keep on playing after he blew out his knee?
