Hard Decisions: The solution to the $18MM offseason puzzle

[warriorzpath]

WHEN the redskins cut hall and moss, they will need to replace them with a starting cb and an above average wideout that produces with critical plays and tds. Or re-sign them to a reduced salary.

I think the later option is what they think is safer and what they will ultimately do.

If Hankerson steps up, the loss of Moss is not so critical.

I agree but how will you know whether he steps up BEFORE losing Moss.

Hank looked pretty good in limited action last year. If he can fix his biggest problem - the dropsies - he could make us forget about Moss quickly.

Also don't forget about Aldrick Robinson. It should be expected that by September either Hank or Robinson will have developed to the point where they would beat out Moss anyway. Then we have Garcon - Morgan - Hankerson - Robinson as our 4 wideouts. In this scenario, paying Moss to be #5 makes little sense for several reasons.

I am not a Santana hater. I'm just trying to be realistic.

He's more realistic to replace Moss in the slot. Hank is an outside WR.

...... a taller slower hankerson, improved or not can't fill Moss' position and what he specifically does for the wr corps

Actually Hank ran in the 4.4's at his combine. He likely is faster than Moss right now, given Moss' age.

yeah but moss is the better wr. even at his old age (in football years) moss is way shiftier, quicker and runs better routes. bottom line is moss can play the slot better than hank. to me, hank has been a disappointment.
