How about you dummies in Ashburn stop having hard ons for wide receivers and get some guys that can block, tackle and rush the passer. Maybe if we had better blockers we could run QB sneaks when it's 3rd and less than a yard.
Your plan at WR would've been?

Trying to figure out how $8 million is too much for a WR when we basically just paid Terrell Pryor that amount last year. This isn't 1976, the cap is 170+ million dollars. He sounds like he just wants to complain for the sake of complaining. Also Richardson turns 26 in one month, plenty of room to get better

There is no way I would give someone who's tops in catches/yards is 44 and 700's. You can get that from the guys on your roster. You could get that from Mo. Harris if he got the reps.

IDK what I would do at wr. Try and trade down out of #13 if the Redskins can find a partner. Maybe try and get someone like DJ Moore in the 3rd or 4th round. Also see who will get released and get in on the 2nd wave of FA signings.

Watkins and Richardson are two guys who got overpaid based off of production. These are two potential bust FA signings.

Not a fan of Watkins.

But did you watch film on Richardson ?
The guy is young, explosive, plays angry, top speed, blocks well...
I guarantee you he would have had more than 1000 yards had the Seahawks had an OL last year !

Mo Harris ran a 4.56. Richardson ran a 4.40.
You're not getting the same type of guy. Not at all.

We'll see. I just prefer they attack areas that lost games last year. We couldn't run and couldn't stop the run. Couldn't get a half a yard to close out the Saints game. Couldn't stop Alex Smith when we needed a stop.

we lost the Chiefs game because Doctson dropped the game winning TD more so than the stop, and we couldn't stop the run once everyone and their mom got hurt

This.
And signing a 8M WR doesn't prevent you from addressing these (legit) needs.

With the 20M left I'd sign a ILB (Zach or other) at 7-8M, Isaiah Crowell at 8-10M, and resign guys like Spencer Long.
Then I'd trade down and go DT, G, and DefBPA .
But there are other valid combinations to fill these needs.

Re: Redskins free agent signings 2018

I wouldn't even bother with Crowell, but a RB needs to be drafted in the first 2 rounds.

Sheldon Richardson, Dontari Poe, Muhammad Wilkerson are all out there, and even with one of them we could still go DL in round 1. An 8 million dollar WR isn't going to kill us in 2018

Did you say pay Crowell, a RUNNING BACK, $8 - $10M per year??

It should not have came down to having a so so wr who catches 1 or 2 balls a game. Games were lost because the Redskins defense was like the worst in the last 2 minutes of the halfs. What does that tell you? Can't stop someone during the most important part of the game.

I'd rather the Redskins overpay for someone who can help close a game out with a sack, not a 40 catch wr. Hope it pans out, I'll be rooting for the guy, but I've seen this rodeo before and it really never works out.

I'd rather have both. Getting a guy like Richardson will help stretch the field. Putting the ball game away early means not having the game come down to a last ditch effort by the defense to stop the other team, but yes, it is nice to have that guy who can rush the QB and get that last minute sack or INT.

It tells me to Fire the "D coordinator" and bring in a real coach.

I like their plan better I think.
