Report: Redskins Have Bieber Fever for Braylon Edwards

he’s gonna get a pretty big deal (I guessed 6 years $48 million) and I just don’t know if we should put that kinda money in our WR’s until we have a line (and QB). Maybe if we cut down to the bare minimum with all the players that should be released, and make some smart FA choices (like not going for Joseph at CB) but I would make sure our D-Line and O-line needs are met well before we look to sign Edwards.

Way too expensive, drops passes (often in big moments) and is a head case.

He had a good year last year because the Jets had Santonio opposite him and a good running game. If he came to Washington, he’d be the No 1 target and the pressure would get to him.

No.

this is exactly the kind of guy cerrato would get,that why we need to make it clear with this free agent class that it is not business as usual with the redskins.snyder has entrenched us in the image of over spending and under achieving that we become patsy or bargaining chip that agents use to up the price for their clients,oh just tell them the skins are interested and who would disregard that, because danny and vinny set that standard.we will spend this year partly because we may have to according to the how the new cba reads,and partly because we have plenty of holes and money to fill it,that what your suppose to do anyway.the issue is how we go about it,i have said all along that we need to continue to make moves to signal to the nfl and the media that the culture and philosophy in ashburn is changing once and for all.with that being said we need to make smart moves there are plenty of free agents that will help fill the teams holes and wont cost too much,lets take a similar approach as we did with the draft make smart moves,that make sense and not go for the big splash.there will be so many free agents available that we could spend and bring in a big haul without bringing in a huge name and a huge contract just for the sake of making a splash

Why would you bring in someone that doesn’t offer anything more than Moss, doesn’t know the playbook, and gets bad press (not as bad as punching drivers and feeling up waitresses)? Doesn’t that go against everything you are trying to do in this organization?

Moss wants to be here, we want him here soooo

Moss
Armstrong
Hankerson
Kelly
Paul
Robinson
Banks
Austin

TOO MANY WIDE RECIEVERS

Just checking in to see what you guys have been up to in the most boring off-season ever.

On this point. In my opinion we have addressed our WR needs through the draft.. If these guys live up to their billing we should be just fine there. I’d like to see any big money signings occur on the offensive or defensive front lines. Otherwise I’m pretty happy with our roster. Not a superbowl roster, but a decent one that should be able to win us at least 6 games. Honestly I don’t think there is any way Beck could put up worse numbers than McNabb did last year, so 6 games seems like a reasonable bet, particularly with a much improved RB and WR group.

The dude is so bizzare and those type of guys can kill a locker room. I don’t really believe this report to be honest but the Skins have done much crazier in the past so i can’t discount it. Besides the fact that he is strange, I don’t think he’s that great. I don’t want to say he’s overrated but if it came down to Santana or Him in free agency I would still go Moss despite the age difference. Our top priorities should be Nose Tackle, Guard, Corner. After that I would take a look at a WR and ILB. I think I would be okay with Armstrong, Hankerson, Moss and seeing what happens with Kelly, Niles Paul, Banks, Austin. At the same time, however, that’s a lot of question marks. Id rather see us look at a Sims Walker or James Jones

I just think you are negatively grading Paul for having an offense that didn’t feature him properly and a QB who wasn’t what i’d call the most accurate. Paul to me has big time upside and he is the type of guy that can really excel in a pro style system. I know it was a week but I thought he looked great at the SB practices, when he finally got to run real routes and have more accurate QB’s (for the most part he had to deal with Locker :P) throw to him.

Personally I think both can and will succeed, but Robinson is more a slot only guy, where Paul can play outside.

I want Santana back.
I love Armstrong, and think he has a great future.
Hankerson is the next Jerry Rice (I kid, I kid)
Paul and Robinson are both “steals” with huge upside.
Banks is… BANKS!

But come on ESPN, just because the guy is a big name doesn’t mean the Skins will automatically go after him. I could overlook his character if we signed him, but I am not that interested in going after some big name WR, which is even more pointless if we don’t even have a good QB to throw to him.

don’t sign any of these huge names because they want to build high character. Six of our twelve draft picks were team captains. Were not going after Crombartie, Edwards, Burress, or another questionable off the field guy.

You can have a guy with a DUI or fight or something like that, but the guy is, in fact, a driven, dedicated, workaholic, and actually a good guy and good teammate. Look how Heinz Ward just got a DUI. Look at Sean Taylor. Seems to me that laziness, poor work ethic and lack of professionalism on the field are more toxic negatives than off the field shenanigans, because those things suggest the guy will never play as well as he should. And if the shenanigans were when they were young, and there’s no continuing pattern, I would be inclined to be forgiving. Like Niles Paul had a number of worrisome incidents when he first got to college, and some questionable moves on the field, but may have matured since then. Devin Thomas may have failed because of a certain type of character issue, although it was probably more lack of professionalism in his case – just didn’t work hard enough to hone his skills to the NFL level.

and pretty difficult to work with. Some great actors – like Dustin Hoffman – are like that. People are different, and I wouldn’t just automatically eliminate somebody because of a few odd incidents in their past. An example of a questionable decision based on vague, maybe bogus character concerns could be passing up Ryan Mallett in the draft (not to reopen that matter – it’s done). In any case, restricting the team to supposedly “high character” guys is going to cost us some good players. Edwards could be an example of that.
