Re: Redskins Free Agent Re-Signings

Kenny Britt visits today, super duper bonehead, but if they can get his head on straight he is borderline no 1. 1 year prove it deal, I'd still give him a shot.

"he is borderline no 1" based on what ? in 5 years he has started 30 games, his career high is 45 receptions.... in 2013 he had 11 receptions

You looked up his stats, so you know how much he has been injured or in trouble with the police or benched.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Re-Signings

Britt is another Fred Davis. Plenty of talent, not enough brain power. There comes a point where its clear they wont ever change. I think both Davis and Britt have proven that they consider themselves above rules. Would rather look through the draft for someone than have him. If we sign him, he needs to have it written into his contract that he supplies the aspirin, because he will cause his fair share of headaches. Im personally getting sick of the distractions by people who cant be counted on.

Check out his 2011 game log. In the first two games of the year, he was on fire:

Kenny Britt Game By Game Stats and Performance - ESPN

We are talking an incentive based 1 year deal .. there is the upside. He is only 25, and if he pays off, he have him as our #2 with Andre Roberts in the slot..

Worth the gamble IMO.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Re-Signings

On the principle of "One bad apple...," do we want to let Britt into our locker room even for just a second? I'm legitimately asking without subtext.

He's definitely capable of being a star in this league. He put up 225 yards and 3 TDs in a game vs. the Eagles once...but it's his stupidity off the field that has limited his career.

I definitely wouldn't pay him much but he could be a huge play-maker for us if he stays on the field.

Exactly. Where is Britt's production? He's never really had any. Dude is a bum who's addicted to handcuffs. No thanks.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Re-Signings

Britt will probably want to go to Carolina, he has a better chance starting there than Washington. Carolina has no starters.

Look, Kenny Britt is a problem child, yes. But the guy can flat out ball, and put in the right situation with the right kind of people, I think he could put that past behind him, and focus on football. I definitely think we should give him a shot, maybe get him a counselor and someone who can kind of keep an eye on him, maybe mentor him up a bit, Santana maybe? Just throwing that out there. A squad first guy who is still playing hard for his team at his age? Britt can do nothing but learn from someone like that.

Give him a one year shot. Maybe we get lucky, and he puts up 60 receptions 7 td's. You never know. He has the talent.

Even if he did that, the next year he's a problem, wanting a long term high money deal, and still could be one dumb move away. This is supposed to be a very solid receiver draft, so let's get a young guy and move on.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Re-Signings

Denver is really not building there team through free agency, just adding final pieces to the puzzle. I think Denver will win it all this year. They are due.

Denver has a lot of solid pieces, but it all comes down to Manning. Can he still play at the level he's been at when he's a year older? Can his body/ neck hold up an entire season at 38 years old?
