Redskins typically give out 3-year contracts. They are technically like 5, 6, or 7-year deals, but they are designed to be restructured or cut after 3 years. So, you are only signing him to what amounts to a 3-year deal. I have no doubt that CJ can produce like a top WR the next three years. So, whether he's 25 or 30 really isn't a big deal to me.

I believe that picture is real and it was taken last offseason.

I threw out Javon Walker & people here had good reasons we shouldn't trade for him. I already have an opinion of CJ & I don't think he's a good fit here, even w/Gibbs gone. The chemistry that's been established here is fragile & doesn't need a guy like that to taint it.

He is still a top wr though, can't deny his ability & work ethic. I just think he's become more of a problem & might continue to do so here.

I'm not the biggest CJ fan, because of his ego. However, many prima donna wide receivers have had a change of heart after finding new homes. Don't know if its worth the risk though

Thats what people have said about Randy Moss and Terrell Owens. And their new teams took chances with them and they had amazing results. If he's relatively cheap, i would take the chance...

CJ maybe a distraction but not the negative type that rips apart team cohesion. If he opts out of his final year he will not come cheap because he knows a lot of teams are going to come knocking on his [agents] door.

too big of a move, lets keep some stability, no huge name signings, especially when we would have to yet again sacrifice draft picks

jsarno · 01-08-2008, 07:19 PM

For all you thinking that he's a big WR, he's only 6'1" and 192lbs. That's not big at all. I say no...I'd rather take a chance on Mix.

We need Defenseive linemen... and Ed Reed

Big C · 01-08-2008, 08:49 PM

getting chad johnson is a bigger signing and a lot more expensive than getting fletcher or smoot...not really comparable imo

That's all we need is a head case wide reciever.....

those two examples also show how huge of an impact a dynamic wideout can have on an offense.

MTK · 01-08-2008, 09:27 PM

I'd love to have a big time WR like him, but I don't see it happening.

Two words concerning 30+ premadonna Wideouts.....Randy Moss.

That Guy · 01-08-2008, 11:00 PM

i think its asmall chance, but i'd like to have him.

moss and TO are older, and both put up crazy stats this year. none of them look like they're done yet either.
