Other teams cuts - and the obvious should we get them question.

For the vet minimum why not? Houz would instantly be the 2nd best receiver on the team and possibly best. We have nothing to lose. Let's get it done.

Williams/Galloway need to go... Housh for a 1 yr incentive based deal is a steal, so FO make it happen! IMO we need another true FS so i'd cut Horton and sign the local kid Harris.

I don't know that I'd cut Horton since he plays lights out when healthy. I'd put serious thought into cutting Landry though.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh looking at Raiders, Redskins

Posted by Michael David Smith on September 5, 2010 10:04 PM ET
After getting cut by the Seahawks and spurned by the Vikings and Bengals, free agent wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh is now looking at the Raiders and Redskins.

Danny O'Neil of the Seattle Times reports that Houshmandzadeh has not returned messages since being released, but a source who had spoken to Houshmandzadeh said he appears to be narrowing down his destinations to either Oakland or Washington.

The 32-year-old Houshmandzadeh led the Seahawks in catches last year and has more than 900 receiving yards in each of the last five seasons.

O'Neill writes that Houshmandzadeh is likely to sign for the veteran minimum salary in 2010.

Man, I wonder which one he'll pick?

So you would cut our best safety??? Yeah that makes sense.

[Hail to the Redskins]

LeGarrette Blount cut by the Titans!

I'd say sign him for sure if Vinny was still around just to get him to punch him in the face! I mean he's going to punch SOMEONE in the face for every team he plays for...

Hey maybe we can sign him just for the Dallas game! Get him to run a pitch play when Jerry is on the sidelines at the end of the game! lmao... sorry... just rambling now... lol

With a statement that will stir shit up like that, why didn't you elaborate? Do you really think with all the reports we hear about Haslett putting Landry in his natural spot, the one he excelled at when he had Taylor beside him back in 2007, that he still will play like shit? Let's face it Blatche put him at FS because Blatche was not a coach that plays players' to their individual strengths. He has a scheme and he will use his players anywhere he likes in that scheme, regardless of whether they are a good fit or not.

Honestly it's probably closer than we would think. While Oakland was a model for disfunction, they are definitely on everybody's radar as a team that is improving. They've made great offseason choices, they already had a good defense last year, they're looking better with JC at qb (huge upgrade over JaMarcus "Purple Drank" Russell), and to a guy like Housh, they may not seem like a bad choice. So I won't be suprised if he goes there, but I also definitely wouldn't mind if he chose here, as I've been unimpressed and definitely not enthusiastic at the idea of having Galloway actually play the #2 spot.

Not to mention more likely to extend/pay more in the future. The Raiders went 5-11 last year, we won 4. I see us making a better turnaround but who knows.

Plus OAK puts TJ back in his home state, even though he's much farther north than where he's from, but it's not like San Diego is blowing up his phone.

I get what your saying but when it boils down to it TJ is a competitor. Right now the Raiders are definitely improved however right now their goal is to make it to the playoffs in the next year or two. The Redskins, however ambitious it may be, are gearing up for a Super Bowl run in that same time frame and if McNabb stays healthy they have a reasonable chance provided they get hot at the right time.

Tom Cable or Mike Shanahan isn't that difficult of a decision. Hue Jackson or Kyle Shanahan is even easier. Right now the Redskins look much better on paper and coming off a year where both teams had top 10 picks thats all you can really go on.

Plus more important then anything else is the fact that we have the QB edge, and in the NFL, receivers are dependent on quality QB play than anything else. If Bruce Allen can put together teams that saw guys like McCardell, Galloway, and Bryant go through a career resurgence then we should be more then fine with TJ.

Goodcall. I forgot to think about what QB each team has might have an impact on Housh's decision. If the deciding factor is playing with McNabb or JC under center than we would probably win. While I like JC and hope he'll do well in Oakland if I was a receiver I'd probably play with McNabb because of his pedigree. Also if there is one question mark with Oakland it'd have to be its' offensive line, I don't think their tackles are that good, especially Mario Henderson on the left side.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

My god, I hope he makes a smart move and comes to D.C. Did the Raiders actually do anything to that Oline of thiers?

He has a beast of a QB here in DC that is proven and spreads the ball all over the field, and one of the best offensive coaches in the league. Plus we have the defense.

Seems like a no brainer for him!!

Ravens sign TJ per Adam S

[CultBrennan59]

If we get Houshmanzadeh, we got to cut Galloway, please he's not as fast as he used to be, and is 38 years old. The only 38 year old wideout I would have ever signed would be Jerry Rice.

But like I've said before, Vincent Jackson is the best you could possibly get right now, and Houshmanzadeh is the second best option, but both receivers, are probably better than oh, I'd probably say our whole receiving core.
