The Redskins could not get both Cooper and Hooper so their money was there for Amari and Cleveland wanted Hooper badly and Hooper wanted to go there .

The rest of FA has been pretty much a non-event for the Redskins. It’m glad to see Fuller come back and I think he will shine here.

I was pretty sure that Trent was gone, but an unintentional benefit of the Cooper non-signing was that he could stay here if Trent would drop his price. A possibility, although if it happens it will be much closer to the draft. If we get the second round pick, it will go toward a TE.

Glad we didn't sign him. It would be the type of signing like so many we've had around here. It's great when the deal is done, then in 2 years when he has 50 catches for 550 yards and 4 td's everyone would be pissed off and call it another FA bust. We can easily find someone in the draft that is as good or better than Hooper and pay that person on a rookie deal.

100% agreed. Let's stop acting like Ebron and Hooper are Gronk and Kelce already.

That being said, TE is the only spot that I'm worried about, so I hope they have a legit plan in FA.

Compared what the Redskins have paid the last couple years for the production at the tight end position those guys are Gronk and Kelce. It would take a major screw up not to improve that position.

They paid for that production on past production. Reed was basically paid off of his jaw dropping potential and I believe 2015. And Davis had been around a long time and could still run.

Hooper hasn't had a year close to what Reed did in 2015, but maybe that's cause he isn't the first option. But he simply doesn't have the elite skill set that Reed or Davis had.

Hooper is more like a Cam Brate, solid option but his ceiling isn't that high like Reed's was.
