Okay, so you were right about Jacobs and Farris...

[Luxorreb]

Jacobs shows nothing. Chick and the boys brought up Randle El. I'd love to see that. TO could help, then again I'd never condone it unless we'd just won the Superbowl with him. McCardell available? Makes me sad that we have to line Cooley up at WR at times. He's great, don't get me wrong, but if we have ANY #2 WR also we'd improve tremendously as an offense. Randle El plays with passion, but will warrant BIG money.

Really? I can't see him getting that much dough. I'd be leery of the Peerless Price effect with a guy like that.

Randle El is in no way like Price. He would be a great addition and would also be a great PR solution as well so that we could all stop holding our breath about Brown.

Yeah, Price had 1,400 yards receiving in Buffalo the year before he headed to Atlanta and Randle El had 35 catches for about 550 in Pittsburgh.

To be fair, Price was playing opposite Eric Moulds and was catching passes from a revitalized Drew Bledsoe. He had 1,252 yards that year. Looking at the rest of his career numbers, I like to refer to that season as the Albert Connell factor.

Randle el was the third receiving option, and a rookie that year. And he was catching passes from Kordell Stewart...

Randle El seems like a poor man's Santana Moss and I've not watched a lot of Pittsburgh games, but he doesn't seem like a tremendous upgrade over someone like David Patten. One thing he would provide is a decent punt returner...was anyone else extremely frustrated when Antonio Brown let punt after punt hit the ground and roll inside the 10 yard line...CATCH THE FREAKING BALL...I kept hoping the would put Moss back there to return punts sort of how they used to put Darrell Green back there during big games. Anyway, I think they really need a bigger receiver that can move the chains and be a threat in the red zone. Someone mentioned David Givens as a potential free agent, and if the Skins could pry him away from New England I think he would be a much better fit than Randle El. I continue to hope for Reggie Wayne and think Washington could be a nice destination for him because he would not have to step up and be a #1 receiver (for examples of #2's who failed as number #1s see Peerless Price and Alvin Harper, glad the Skins were unable to land either of them, though they did try for both), but could instead play the #1b role that he has filled in Indy the past couple of years...the more I think about it, though, Givens might be a better - and probably cheaper - fit...I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Would love to see Wayne here, but he wants to be paid like a #1 WR, regardless of whether he IS the #1 receiver.
