The more I hear about the subject the more I think the Redskins should explore trying to sign Plexico Burress. Even though we have a high draft pick, Mike Williams is the only one I would feel real comfortable taking.

The whole Braylan Edwards diagnosis is a little too Gardener-esque for my taste. I don't want to say trade down for Williams, but I feel that if we don't pick up a good WR in free agency that Williams may be one of the best, if not the best, pick up in the draft at WR.

I was gonna say they can't do it, but considering the types of contracts they usually do, even with a big contract, his cap number the first couple years wouldn't be too bad. So I say go for it! Yeah, they'll have to make some tough decisions on some players in a couple years, but that's gonna happen anyway. If Gibbs creates the winning atmosphere that most if not all of us think he will, that will make players think twice about leaving just for a higher paycheck. Just look at the Patriots and how most of the players want to stay, even if they could make a little more elsewhere.

Very true. Tom Brady is a perfect example.

I disagree with what people have been saying about Edwards. He is a baller with a bright future in the NFL. Not only does he have the physical skills (which gardner had too of course so we know that's not enough) but he's a bigtime playmaker who can control the tempo of a game by himself. If anyone saw the game against michigan state, where michigan came back and won in OT, Edwards took control of that game on his own. They were double teaming him in the redzone, of course, and he was just shredding whatever they threw at him. I hope we take him, as I honestly believe he is gonna make it big time in the pros.

The only criticism is that he drops balls, but they said that about Jerry Rice too.
