Where do you want me to start on the free agency list? Should I start with Deon Sanders and work down? This team isn't remotely close to contending. There are much greater needs than 1 WR. If we were stacked (likef 49ers/Seattle), I could see the move, as it is, this is just a band aid. Seems this team is never going to learn. (or its fans)

I agree here. But in today's NFL a team can have a one year turn around. With some better coaching, add a explosive proven wr, better teams play, some luck in the draft and an improved Griffin, wouldn't you say we could win the East? I think that's not a far off assumption.

Redskins can't get stacked. The moment we sign a name everyone screams 2000. Vinny Cerratto, and the entire nine. How many troubled players have the Patriots signed. Hasn't slowed them down one bit. You need talent to win in the NFL not character, Jimmy Johnson's Dallas Cowboys proved that.

I didn't even mention character. I simply said I don't like the move at this exact time, not that I don't like Jackson or his abilities. It's the same thing I said with the RGIII trade, I questioned the move at a time we desperately needed talent on the team. We still need a lot of talent. This is a 3-13 team.

You know how this division is 3-13 could easily be 10-6 next season.

This is somewhere between a 3-13 team and a 10-6 team 2 years ago. you can say they overachieved in 2012, but they clearly underachieved in 2013. The biggest thing to me, and we may never know this, is I want this to be a decision made with "football sound principles" whatever the heck they are.

I don't want an egotistical coach, or pure penny pinching GM, or a starstruck owner making this call. I would like the FO to look at it, rate the strengths he brings, compared to the weaknesses we have. Then look at the cap planning for the next 3 years, and the flexibility to make a solid move if it's there. Then see if the coach feels this player fits in the locker room environment, does he want him.

And if all that is done and we sign him awesome. If any of those throw up a red flag, and we don't, then I hope he goes out of division!

Of course, even if it all is done appropriately, someone will blame Snyder's interference for the signing, or BA's penny pinching for the lack of signing, cuz that's how we roll!
