Yes! Injured or not! Get your ass out there and play ball! My head is starting to hurt real bad.

Seriously. Some of the worst posts I've read around here in a while.

Were you the guy that told Merriman to keep on playing after he blew out his knee?

Posted at 12:04 PM ET, 05/ 3/2009 Skins Offer Deals to Washington, Hackett (Updated)

The Redskins have offered contracts to veteran free agent wide receivers Kelley Washington and D.J. Hackett, who participated in minicamp this weekend, a league source said. Washington is expected to decide on the Redskins' offer after visiting the Baltimore Ravens this week. Hackett was expected to take a physical this afternoon and planned to sign with the team today, a league source said.

Hackett and Washington Deals offered, but not accepted yet!

These guys must be fishing for bigger contracts or something.

If you're out of work, and someone offers, I cannot understand not accepting!

Because I'm sure they will get vet min offers from other teams, so why not wait a little and see if they can get a couple HUNDRED THOUSAND more? I completely see why they are waiting.
Look at it from their perspective. If you KNEW you would sign on with a company before August (say at 50k a year), but knew other companies were "interested" at the same level of pay, and possibly more, wouldn't you take that shot too? What if another company offers the same position, but for 60k, or 70k? Which one will you take?

Yes. I'll bet they are considering playing time, too. If they are offered vet min everywhere, they'll take the shot which they think offers them the best opportunity to play.

I think it is good. If we were signing guys that no one else wanted, that might be a problem.

Well let's see. Thomas is hurt. Kelly may not see the field for the second year in a row, Randle-El is a marginal #3, Thrash shouldn't be on the roster, I don't even know the name of the other guy who just signed and Hackett and Washington aren't on the roster.

Unless you are calling for that white guy who dropped everything for a couple of pre-seasons how is it not an upgrade?

I do like what we're seeing here...fishing for WRs looking to prove themselves, make a comeback and whatnot. I figure this is pure Zorn and it's encouraging. Still, i think so much rests on DT, though it's understandable there's differing opinions on his potential and what makes for reasonable expectations. Devin is athletic like Moss but possesses superior physical gifts...what he needs to develop are the intangibles like route running and creating separation on gameday. Oh yeah, good hands lol...it's easy to forget all our WR need to work on catching the ball. But seriously, Devin is my candidate for exciting breakout player of the year of offense.

Me too. I have already been (prematurely) imagining DT taking it to the house again and again.

It'd be pretty cool to get K. Washington... went to high school with him and his older brother was a good buddy of mine. I remember ESPN nick'd him "The Future" in his junior year article. Had a neck injury that kept him out of the first two rounds...

skins signed Roydell Williams WR formally with the titans.

post first, read previous statements later

I wouldn't mind at all if Hackett or R Williams were our #3 or even #2 if they prove to be the best. These guys are only 27/28 so they could give us a couple good years and let Thomas and Kelly grow a little more or not have to push it if they're not healthy. They're only 22 so there's no need to rush em all long as they work hard and keep getting better.
