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.

That is just rediculous. Pay a guy a few million dollars for a year, he retires, then we are stuck w/ his dead money the next year or two. We do not need another 30 something year old receiver. we have two already

So where did you hear that Bruce is planning on retiring after next year? Because I didn't see that article, perhaps you could link it here? That's a ridiculous assumption to make.

You know what we really need? A WR to come here and make an impact, take pressure off Santana Moss, and gel right away with our offense. His familiarity with Al Saunders makes him the perfect fit.

I'm not saying break the bank for the guy, but he's the best available option for us.

which two? the starters are what matters and moss is ~26.

wow... maybe you should check his stats again. he's the cheapest available 1000 yard/year WR out there. i don't even think walker is on the table and he'd be MEGA expensive (and coming off an injury) to boot.

darren howard for one. i mean hes well known, but hes also one of those guys, like griffin, who hasnt reached their full potential yet

PWNED · 03-09-2006, 08:59 AM

where do you propose we get the money for these guys though? we should just maybe ask david patten

PWNED · 03-09-2006, 09:47 AM

i dont think randle-el should HAVE to be a #1 guy. we have that in moss. i agree with wheover thinks that the super bowl will drive the price up on randle-el but i WOULD like to have him for the right price.

Randel-el is more hype than anything else. He had mediocre numbers (even when considering his team) and a stellar reputation because of a superbowl and thowing touchdown passes. Randel-el at a good price would be nice, but he's looking for money. If he wasn't looking for big bucks he wouldn't leave the steelers so theres really no extra incentive to be a redskin. Quite frankly I think patten is a better wide-out then Randel-el.

Bruce is old but proved effecient even last year. Someone mentioned about about him and saunders as well. Looks like it's going to happen, but we'll see.

I agree 100% about Randel-El.. He's a decent #2, but nowhere close to a #1.. I've been very vocal about wanting Givens with Bruce and Moulds as secondary options at #2.

PSUSkinsFan21 · 03-09-2006, 09:54 AM

Any chance we could afford Jurivicous AND Bruce/Givens? Could you imagine that starting trio? Moss, Bruce/Givens and Jurivicous as the possession and red-zone guy? Not sure what the cap is, but I'd be all for dropping Patten to get this combo.

As for KR, I need to see him stay on the straight and narrow for another solid year before I'd even look at him.

PWNED · 03-09-2006, 09:55 AM

id prefer a pass BLOCKER at the TE slot.

I've always wanted to visit. I hear it's really nice but I have some trouble with the dialect sometimes.
