I feel I still have a lot of raw talent that I can unleash over here."

Not only would he provide veteran insurance as a pass-catcher if Paul isn't fully recovered in time for the season, but the Redskins also like that he can block.

Redskins president Bruce Allen said after the three-day open negotiating period before free agency that they had a good feel for what they might, or might not, be able to do in free agency. Also: They only have approximately $18 million to $20 million of cap space and plenty of needs. They still have to sign linebacker Junior Galette, as well, though he might end up needing to take a smaller one-year prove-it deal.
