Predict our first major player acquisition

RedskinPete · 03-09-2006, 01:35 AM

Here is my wish list and not in any order

LB-Akin Ayodele

WR- Randel-El [to much money]....Antonio Bryant [Gibbs makes him a star and he gets payback to Cowboys]

CB-Ahmed Plummer

G-Tonin Fonoti

OT-Tom Ashworth

DE-Aaron Kampman

S-Chris Hope

These would be great Redskins and all are good guys with the exception of Bryant but I think he has grown up after only four years in the NFL. I think Gibbs could make this guy a star! Yes I know we can get them all but here are some players that will make us great!!!

I dont see anyone mentioning Chris Hope, safety from pittsburg. he is far better than Archaletta(forgive the spelling) or Jevon Walker. We need a big receiver, not another 5-10 180lb guy. which is what Randel el, givens, ect are. Walker is like 6-3 over 200lbs and young.

you are smoking something if you want zach mills here?forget about signing archeluta,just resign clark.i would prefer picking up abrahams as the skins one and only big signing.lets keep our cap house in order to avoid future cap diaster

I hope we don't go after big name players. As a general rule, that's a formula for wasting cap money.

We need to find bargains. C. Griffin and M. Washington were not big names before they came here because both played on poorly coached, lackluster defensive units. Both are still in their prime and came in healthy.

We need more like them.

I agree wholeheartedly, so who are some guys like that?

I don't think that fans can pick out the bargains like Griffin and Washington. We're more familiar with players who have been publicized. Chris Hope and Randel El have been mentioned here because their team won the Super Bowl. They're both good players you'd like to have but unlikely to be bargain deals.

Dude, again stop w/ the Isaac Bruce stuff. He is way past his prime, not worth the vet minimum. we dont need another small receiver especially one his age.

I TOTALLY disagree with this. Bruce knows our system, he played under Martz for several years who is a disciple of the Gibbs offense. The guy could come right in and run solid routes for us. I wouldn't pay a lot for him because as you say he is old, but he is still an effective receiver. It was only one year ago that he had 89 catches and 1292 yards. Last year he missed 5 games, got nagged by injuries all season, and Martz was sidelined. I wouldn't pay a lot for him given that we could get a David Givens for pretty cheap, but Bruce would be able to come in and assimilate our offense very quickly. He knows the Saunders style offense already.

he knows the style of offense, and i think he could contribute, but would you rather go after someone else?

Not really. Randle-El is a hot commodity and will be way overpriced when all is said and done. I don't want Antonio Bryant, he's a cancer. Jurevicius would be alright, but he's been in west coast offenses, not our style of offense. I'm not interested in Koren Robinson, he's not a Gibbs guy. Brandon Lloyd is restricted and I wouldn't want to give up any of our precious draft picks for him. I think I'd like Givens about as much as I'd like Bruce, between them it would come down to price for me.

Huddle · 03-09-2006, 09:52 AM

My bet is that the Skins don't go for a WR in free agency. I think Al Saunders will want to add another pass receiver at the TE slot. There are several good prospects at that position in the draft.

Not only did he play under Martz but he was a perennial Pro-Bowler under Al Saunders. So they have a good history together. For the right price he's a perfect fit here.
