Redskins release WR Andre Roberts

[calia]

It's interesting to me that as between our 3 leading receivers and now Doctson, we really have the 4 paradigmatic receiving types covered:

1. speedster -- DJax
2. physical, possession receiver -- Garcon
3. shifty slot guy -- Crowder
4. tall target w/ big catch radius -- Doctson

That pretty much covers it (and I am not even mentioning our TEs here which obviously are important). We know the first 3 WRs above can excel in those roles as they've proved it already; Doctson certainly looks like he has great potential. Hard to think of any team with WRs that can be all of these things.

Folks raised the good question re: how long we'll be able to keep them together because of cap concerns -- and it may be just this year in the absence of some serious re-structuring/reductions. But it sure would be great to have this WR corps together for a while and see what they can do -- it will be a nightmare for opposing DBs as long as Cousins has a little time to throw. If we do this 4 WR set, how do you really cover this?
