Redskins release WR Andre Roberts

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

garcon should go no where this year. Honestly I would love to keep Djax, Crowder, Garcon and Doctson as long as we possible can. Thats a hell of a recieving core to pair with Paul, Reed and Davis.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

gotcha, yeah wasn't referring to the Djax comment as that is a given.

I'll say it for you Schneed, cutting Garçon would be retarded. It would create a significant hole regarding our WR depth. DJ isn't exactly the most reliable health wise, so he goes down and we have to rely on a rookie as the go to guy? Dumb.

Exactly.

This. Worst case scenario they cut Garcon, D.Jax gets injured (which I feel is a 50/50 proposition every year) and all of a sudden we go from having 2 good starting wideouts to starting Doctson and Crowder every game.

Just remember how thin we were at tight end last year. No way it would make sense cutting Garçon this year. Next year, probably.

Garcon's contract ends this year, I doubt they renew it next year.

What has happened to me. Have I gone soft? Am I becoming too PC?

Well said.

[Defensewins]

We finally have a deep receiving corp.. and a QB.....and a decent O-line.
Why not take it out for a test drive and clean out the fluorocarbons?

Bold prediction time, next year we re-sign Garçon and let Jackson walk. Doctson will be the playmaker with his leaping ability and crazy catch radius.

That is bold. I'd be fine with re-signing him at a much lower number. Doctson is definitely that explosive element we're looking for to replace Djax. Unlike Djax, Doctson is going to be able to leap over DBs for those big plays. Djax relies on his speed alone, which isn't enough at times.

It's interesting to me that as between our 3 leading receivers and now Doctson, we really have the 4 paradigmatic receiving types covered:

1. speedster -- DJax
2. physical, possession receiver -- Garcon
3. shifty slot guy -- Crowder
4. tall target w/ big catch radius -- Doctson

That pretty much covers it (and I am not even mentioning our TEs here which obviously are important). We know the first 3 WRs above can excel in those roles as they've proved it already; Doctson certainly looks like he has great potential. Hard to think of any team with WRs that can be all of these things.

Folks raised the good question re: how long we'll be able to keep them together because of cap concerns -- and it may be just this year in the absence of some serious re-structuring/reductions. But it sure would be great to have this WR corps together for a while and see what they can do -- it will be a nightmare for opposing DBs as long as Cousins has a little time to throw. If we do this 4 WR set, how do you really cover this?

[That Guy]

we could resign both garcon and DJ next year, i just don't think it's likely unless we really have nothing better to do with the money. we'll see how the year goes though.

He's even been working out at Redskins Park, so you know he's serious.
