Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson

I was crushed in '08 when we passed on Jackson in the draft so I am certainly happy now.. The contract makes it even better since it doesn't seem like it straps us financially or will prevent us from doing anything we need to do over the next 2 offseasons either.

On the field, I have zero concerns. He opens things up for everyone else, not to mention the production he can put up. FINALLY, receiver is not a position of weakness. I'll put it out there that we've got the best skill position grouping (QB, WR, TE, RB) in the division even though we don't have the best player at any of the positions. This is a sum is greater type of deal.

In the draft, it opens up so much because now we can more easily either target Moses or Ward or decide to trade back and get an extra 2 or 3. If we spend a pick on a WR, it may be in the 4th or 5th but it won't be someone we're counting on to make an immediate impact. Also, now anything we get from Hankerson is a bonus.

All in all, great signing, HTTR!!!

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson

I've been saying for a while now that I think the cap penalty saved us from ourselves. Hopefully the Redskins have learned after the ordeal that it's important to not overpay players and to have depth. These two things go hand in hand. I think the Redskins went out and tried to win the offseason by adding the most depth and getting better deals at more spots instead of snatching up the best/highest payed players. Even though the DJax signing screams of the old way of doing business, the salary numbers suggest they are doing this much, much smarter. Color me impressed.

Back in the 80s & early 90s with Sanders, Clark, and Monk. We haven't a group like that till now.

It was awful. Maybe Kornheiser's bitterness has stuck to him. I'm sure they could have found a person off the street to do a better job this morning on the radio.

Good words from RG3. The team has a lot of work to do. I'd like to see RG3 practicing deep bombs to D. Jax right away
