Great news, let's hope he passes the Jets physical!

MTK · 03-05-2005, 02:40 PM

Don't forget either Mike Williams or Troy Williamson.

We basically won't have a true #1 wideout - rather, we'll have a deep, if unspectacular, wideout corps.

That said, with Gibbs running 2-3 wideout formations more often than not, I'm not sure depth is what we need. The lineup doesn't sound so bad, but I think it's far better suited to a Spurrier-run offense with 3-4 wideout sets.

redwagonskins · 03-05-2005, 04:48 PM

Talk about speed though. I don't know how it will work with this Offense but at least we have two guys who can gain separation down the field!! It's a good deal for the skins. Who knows if Coles will ever get his toe taken care of and he didn't want to be here anyway.

SmootSmack · 03-05-2005, 04:49 PM

And isn't Antonio Brown the fastest of them all?

skin4Life28 · 03-05-2005, 02:41 PM

Great speed, but we still need some size. Might be ok if we draft wideout or if McCants just gets some playing time.

Right on! Bye the way I couldnt help but notice where you are located. I went to Gar-Field.

jdlea · 03-05-2005, 09:51 PM

I'm pretty much in agreement with everybody else...get some size! Whether it's McCants on the field or keeping Gardner or drafting a big target...I don't care. I think we need a big reciever.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 03-05-2005, 02:42 PM

I'm surprised we didn't get even a 3rd rounder in addition to Moss. I think we got less than the market would have allowed. Therefore, my guess is the media will say how the Jets got the better end of the deal and...for once...they may be right.

Big C · 03-05-2005, 02:44 PM

its a great deal for us, cuz instead of releasing him for nothing, we get a solid young player. i dont mind it at all. we get someone who doesnt want to be here off the team, and someone who wants to be on the team on. cant always compare the trade as to how it looks on paper. coles is better than moss, but moss will be better for this team than coles would have.

Sort of like samari and fred!?

redskinsskickazz · 03-05-2005, 06:24 PM

somebody please correct me if im wrong but it seems coles is making out like a bandit in this deal. he signed a huge contract two years ago, got an enormous signing bonus and now when its time to play for his base salary for five years he gets another deal with another bonus, and the skins get screwed on the flip side they have to absorb the cap hit on coles bounus and now moss is surely to want another contract with a large bounus. i could be wrong but it seems like this was not a very good deal for us from a cap standpoint.
