Redskins sign WR Donte’ Stallworth to a 1 year deal

[skinster]

How much communication between team leaders and the FO is there? We drafted 3 WRs, signed moss, have AA, and are looking for a big time WR in FA. Signing Stallworth as a camp body seems unusual in my mind unless we pitched to him that he could very well make the team, which seems unlikely for us to do unless we believed it considering it would be pointless to lie, and it would create poor trust among agents. How many of our rookie WRs showed up at our team practices? Is it possible that it has been reported to the FO that one or more of our rookies simply aren't preforming?

I don't think the coaches would put much stock in what happened at those organized player practices. That wouldn't even be fair. The coaches want to see these guys up close and personal and have the chance to coach them up before they would write them off.

The fact it's a 1 year deal tells you everything you need to know. He knows, we know, coaches know, and his agent knows that this is basically a tryout.

Also, you have 3 rookie WRs, not many rooks perform well as WR in that first year.

Too bad you can't sign a monthly contract. LOL
