Hmmm. I doubt it, but it wouldn't surprise me. And it would certainly comfort all those who insist we need 'size' at wide receiver.

He would have to be relatively cheap wouldn't he?

Re: prediction...
 

Won't happen. It would cost us 100k to release McCants. So, at worst, we would waste the money that we should be using to BEG Smoot to come back to sign Boston.

Re: prediction...
 

How would Boston be cheap? Is he that hurt? I havn't heard much about his status right now, but god he was a beast two seasons ago. I think he'd have to be really really cheap for us to sign him, so I doubt he'll come to DC.
Weird, huh? He's might be expensive so he's probably NOT coming to DC. Been a long time since I had a thought like that about a potential Skins signing.

Back to back disasterous seasons in Miami and San Diego - two years ago GMs were drooling over him. Not now. Trust me.

Re: prediction...
 

If he came very cheap he has the ability to be a good player. I feel he's the type of player that needs a strong coach. This should only be done if we can fit both Smoot and Boston in under the cap, otherwise go for Smoot.

Re: prediction...
 

The guy is a friggin head case. I highly doubt we'd sign him.

But, I don't know....if the guy comes cheap, he's got a HUGE upside. If he's cheap and he stinks up the joint, cut him.

Re: prediction...
 

Please, you can't count a bad season two years ago in FREAKING SAN DIEGO against a reciever. The injury is what's affecting this guy's value, not a bad season as a reciever on the worst team in the league at the time with a terrible QB and no good offensive players AT ALL except for LT. If this guy is healthy and super cheap, there is a chance he could be a steal. That being said, he'd have to be really friggin cheap.

Prediction:

ain't gonna happen

Re: prediction...
 

joe jerivicious is better than boston.why not give him a look?

Re: prediction...
 

Coach wants quality character too and if memory serves me right, Boston has had his share of off the field problems too. I don't see it happening either.

Re: prediction...
 

Did you listen to the smoot interview? He backed up rumors that Boston was on the Roids, thats why he is a Big receiver. No way we get this guy

Re: prediction...
 

if he cannot pass a physical, he cannot be signed. the larger issue is if he is steroid enhanced. he sure looks like the package. if so, that explains his brittleness.
if not, for a vet minimum contract he might be worth a look see. he kind of reminds me of daryl gardener- damaged goods, who could provide 1 terrific season if he is motivated. but as a long term answer? highly doubtfull.

as other posters have pointed out, he would result inthe loss of mccants for certain. is it worth it? not sure because it is hard to tell how deep that mccants has burrowed into gibbs' doghouse

Re: prediction...
 

I don't know. I would hate to see us draft a guy to be our #1 receiver only to have to possibly fight it out with him. I just don't see him being a good role model for a young receiver.

Re: prediction...
 

Buls**t. Ain't gonna happen. He's definitely not a Gibbs Redskin.
1. He popped for Roids and was suspended
2. He's always hurt (because he weighs up to 260lbs...because he's on roids...and popped for it...)
3. He takes plays off. He doesn't just have a reputation for it, he actually doesn't run routes if he's not the primary receiver (because he's tired from carrying around 260lbs of roid induced muscle)
4. The Dolphins and Chargers don't want him and the Dolphins don't think even with their pathetic passing game that he could help at all.
i can't believe anyone would seriously think this.
BTW, he hasn't had over 1000 yds since 2001!!
This is ridiculous.

Re: prediction...
 

A steroid pumping big mouthed WR more interested in his muscular physich than catching footballs...

No thank I will pass, even if he would sign for $6 an hour...

Re: prediction...
 

He is suspended for the first four games of this year no matter where he signs. He got caught doing 'roids while he was on IR last year.

Re: prediction...
 

man David Boston could be on the same level as TO if he stayed straight. He used to dominate us. We could beat the Cards but he would ALWAYS have a field day against us. The guy was a beast. Someone will take a chance on him because if hes on the field he can dominate.

Re: prediction...
 

My money says he isn't coming here nor should he get invited to come here. He has more downside than upside.

[QUOTE=BIGREDSKINFAN63]joe jerivicious is better than boston.why not give him a look?[/QUOTE]


I agree. JJ is a team guy, DB is a me me me guy. No way Coach Gibbs signs him. Joe Jurivicious on the other hand could be a great underneath weapon. :biggthump

You are right about judging a WR on a bad team, he was on one of the worst teams at the time 2 years ago. However, if you look back at when he was on the Chargers he did miss 8 GAMES!! That is half a season because of an injury, then he went to Miami and blew out his knee in a non-contact excersie and missed 16 more games. So in the last 2 years he has only played 8 games out of a possible 32 games. After that he tested positive for STEROIDS. All of this happened in the last 2 years, so to me it does sound as if he had 2 BAD SEASONS!!

In other words, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN HIM!!!!

Re: prediction...
 

BTW, Brees was all-pro the following year with no receivers so I don't thin he's the wost Qb (i can think of one of our own that we could nominate for that honor) and Boston not only missed games due to injury but because he was suspended for not showing up to practice.

SkinsnCanes: you're right, this guy could have been a beast like TO but he's too far down the slippery slope now.

Re: prediction...
 

Anyone who thinks we'll actually sign David Boston is crazy.

Re: prediction...
 

Two words: Hell No!


Maybe the Vikings, or Giants might sign him.

Re: prediction...
 

Keep this freakin psycho off our team. I swear if he is here I will personally boo this steroid freak at training camp. Mark my words.

Re: prediction...
 

David Boston = Perfect fit for the Oakland Raiders, if they hadn't already landed R. Moss.

There is absolutely NO WAY Gibbs would sign this guy.

Re: prediction...
 

don't say never because Gibbs always seemed to have one or 2 guys that had a lot of problems but he was able to somewhat keep them in check and if this guy gets healthy, down to about 225 lbs, and signs somewhat close to the one year vet minimum, I'd say sign him. This probably hinges on whether Williams is there when we select our 1st rounder, but if not signing a healthy, lighter Boston would allow us more freedom to trade down, draft a cb or pass rushing de and fill our leftover holes with solid yet cheaper draft picks. But if signed, at the first sign that he's gonna cause trouble u dump him. No if's and's or but's about it.

Re: prediction...
 

he's old, he'll miss 4 games sminimum and he's a roids junkie... no way gibbs would sign him, his problems go way beyond his ego.

Re: prediction...
 

I said we should give him a look. Maybe he'd be willing to play TE, but he is seemingly a head case. :oink:

Re: prediction...
 

plus didn't he already serve the 4 game suspension? or does a player have to not be on the IR for a suspension to activate?

Re: prediction...
 

he still owes the four game suspension. on IR, he still gets paid. The point of the suspension is that he doesn't get to PLAY and that he loses 1/4 of his annual salary.

Re: prediction...
 

I can't believe we've dedicated over 4 pages to David freakin Boston. Give me a break, the guy is a roid head who had one great year in the NFL and has bounced from team to team ala Jeff George without even half the success George had.
