Ocho Cinco In B&G

If you're earning more than $10M per year (yes I said $10M), why would you take anything less than a blockbuster deal? If we are intent on using free agency or trades to get a star wideout, I would vote for trading for Roy Williams, who is reportedly on the block.

I 2 would like Williams over CJ. I'm not saying having CJ would be bad cuz if it happened after a reasonable trade, I'd be all for it, but I think Williams would fit the west coast offense system a little better plus be a bit cheaper since he's had some durability issues. If the Skins end up with either for a reasonable price, I'd be ecstatic.

CJ's would clearly be the best player available... though R moss would be very close (i'm pretty sure he's a patriot for life though, and his attitude goes to crap pretty quick). fitz is good, but a big step below those two (though he'd easily be the #1 here, due to his consistency).

CJ + briggs + kenny phillips (or a DE) is like pulling 3 pro bowlers out of thin air. if it can happen, it should happen. just don't blow our #1 on a 30 year old WR.

I don't care what anyone says, I would love to see him playing for us. He may have a mouth on him, but the guy plays good football. I really think the best coach for him, would have been gibbs though.

[Soup's Uncle]

Do it...Ocho Cinco...trade him for Brandon Lloyd.

[skinsnut]

Ya know....if the price is right, we need a prototype #1 receiver.
That would have a beautiful trickle down affect.
Moss would be a #2
Randel El would be a #3

That is probably where they would excel long term....not to mention the heat it would take off of Cooley.

In either case, we are either going to go for a protype possesion receiver who is big OR we get another pass catching TE....we will need 2 in the west coast offense.

The advantage of a true #1 receiver is that it puts our other 2 in their correct roles for long term success.

Speaking of Williams, did he and Mooch have any problems while in Detroit or were they pretty cool ? I ask this because if they ahd a good relationship then he could be a possibility with CJ being the smokescreen. I would prefer Johnson though, he'd make the games pretty fun besides the possible upside to havinh him line up alongside Moss.

IMO, Roy Williams is a better player and will cost less to acquire than Chad Johnson.

I like your thinking...one more reason to hope mooch gets the job

[TheSmurfs22]

Would Moss even want to come here? I know money definitely talks, but he is with an organization that is stable and WINS!

The Skins need to find some stability. If the Redskins have learned anything it is that big names do not always translate in to consistent players or mean your oganization is going to win.

CJ is obviously the best choice (but 30, and we cant give up our #1 for him on top of his contract and call it a big win).
then LF, who'd have issues with money/cap/team comp (ick).
then roy williams (who might be the cheapest while still providing the true #1 WR we need, or at least being insurance against moss's hamstrings and providing a much better starting duo)

while i REALLY want CJ, getting roy would probably be a lot cheaper, and i'd be happy about how that need was addressed.

Mr. snyder bring OCho cinco here

[Stuck in TX]

I am so sick of hearing of free agents! anyone familiar with Marques Colston? We need to get a good scout and find a diamond in the rough somewhere in the draft. Because of big players like Ocho Cinco we can't even afford to keep the good ones we draft (i.e. Antonio Pierce from a couple years ago).

#1 WRs don't come often in the 7th round, and we could afford pierce, but the forces that be didn't think he was worth the price...

and welcome. are you at sheppard right now?

[Stuck in TX]

No, I'm taking advantage of the cheap tuition here at Midwestern State University (Dominic Rhodes graduated from there). But sheppard is real close.

Thanks for welcomes... I look foward to contributing and getting my info to and from this site.
