BRUCE IS GOING BACK TO THE RAMS

[DieselPwr44]

Great news. He's about done. Don't know why anyone here would want him.

There are better options in free agency than an old wr in the twighlight of his career.

[da#1skinsfan]

Good!!!!!!!!

[Oldskool]

Yes! :cheers:

One down. Now we need Randle-El and Givens to resign and for some other team to make a mistake and sign Antonio Bryant.

[Truant]

Awesome! We really didn't need another older, smallish, WR clearly on the decline.

[skinz1972]

good 2 we need a young buck....................................

[terpfan]

Yeah I have to agree, there are better fish in the sea.

[Ernie5]

Excellent. I didn't see that as a great move.

[redskns21]

He is making around $6M this year under his new contract. That is way too much and I don't think that he would have made that with this regime.

[authentic]

wheew!! thank you, we didn't need another 'Irvin Fryer'

[KingGibbs]

Good. He's getting long in the tooth. I was surprised how many people wanted him.

[ImmortalDragon]

He deserves to retire as a Ram.

[RDSKNFN_48]

I'm glad that the Bruce temptation is no longer a factor. I feel they've been granted a second life with this CBA extension now they need to be smart about FO decisions.

You'd think they'd learn their lesson w/ Coles.

[bryceb07]

Why did anyoen want him anyways ?

He should retire as RAM sucking there , not here !

[HailYeah]

Funny how this thread is unanimously relieved. I wonder how many would hop on the Bruce bandwagon had we signed him.

[McMetal]

Well, some of you are probably too young to remember, but we did ok with the last "over the hill" Rams receiver we signed - Henry Ellard.

The man was a First Down Machine.

Besides, it's slim pickings with this year's FA WR crop...

[More Complete]

Yes! :cheers:

One down. Now we need Randle-El and Givens to resign and for some other team to make a mistake and sign Antonio Bryant.

So we can sign who? Lloyd? Robinson? :whoknows:

[Canadian Hog]

His health was a concern last year.

It's always nice to add a veteran presence who commands respect from opposing defensive backfields, but at this point in his career let's face it, any attention that Bruce receives is largely a result of his name and past production. Over the long haul, I don't think he's enough in and of himself to take the heat off Santana.

[grego]

"Limited to 11 appearances in 2005 because of injuries, Bruce had 36 catches and 525 yards, his lowest totals since 1998"

sheesh. 6 mill for an old player with those numbers? larceny.

[BigRay]

I really couldn't see him anywhere else but with the Rams really so it's fitting that he remains a Ram..

[Oldskool]

So we can sign who? Lloyd? Robinson? :whoknows:


cough ** Joe Jurevicius ** cough :D

[RedskinsFanatic]

I'm glad that the Bruce temptation is no longer a factor. I feel they've been granted a second life with this CBA extension now they need to be smart about FO decisions.

You'd think they'd learn their lesson w/ Coles.



What lesson is that? Coles is a really good reciever still...he just didn't work out here. That thought made no sense to me. :logo:

[mookie0720]

:applause:

[Kosher Ham]

I expected him to return all along. It makes sense for him. He will retire as a Ram and that is a rarity in this modern NFL. I commend him.

[jivelikenice]

That's great news.....We need to build around young, up & coming players....

[RedskinsFanatic]

I don't necessarily agree that you always need to 'build' around young players..if you want to win now and not tomorrow, why not get a proven player that will and can produce? Bruce would have done that..would he have been the best fit? who knows, but don't knock the guy because he can catch a ball but is over 30...if your 21 and catch a ball once in awhile which would you rather have?

[RabidFan]

wheew!! thank you, we didn't need another 'Irvin Fryer'


Fryar wasn't beast but an older Henry Ellard sure was good for us. Sometimes age discrimination clouds the mind. :laugh:

[RDSKNFN_48]

What lesson is that? Coles is a really good reciever still...he just didn't work out here. That thought made no sense to me. :logo:


Not saying that he wasn't a good choice or a good reciever for us...but having to learn the lesson of signing players for big money now but wind up taking big CAP HITS later.

[HailRiggoRanger]

Yes! :cheers:

One down. Now we need Randle-El and Givens to resign and for some other team to make a mistake and sign Antonio Bryant.

Oldskool, my thoughts exactly. Am so tired of hearing about Randle-El and Givens.

[HailRiggoRanger]

cough ** Joe Jurevicius ** cough :D

Once again, Oldskool, I agree with you. I think Jurevicius should be a top priority. What do you think about Eric Moulds?

[HailYeah]

People.

Brandon Lloyd. Our WR core will be set for at least 1/2 a decade.

[flexxskins]

Awesome! We really didn't need another older, smallish, WR clearly on the decline.I do agree that he is up there in age and I personally had no interest in us pursuing him, but how is he "on the decline?"

I think that he would have had decent #s if he had played the entire season.


Why did anyoen want him anyways ?

He should retire as RAM sucking there , not here !Please define Isaac Bruce as "sucking?"

[IM A REDSKIN FAN]

Funny how this thread is unanimously relieved. I wonder how many would hop on the Bruce bandwagon had we signed him.

[KingGibbs]

I don't think too many people would've complained had we signed him. But, like most I would rather go the younger route.

[RedskinsFanatic]

I would support ANY player Gibbs decided to bring in, but I would have liked to seen Bruce in the B&G...would I rather have J. Jurevicius? Absolutely!! He's the guy I hope Gibbs goes for...

[justin_totti10]

this is great news i think he wouldve been the next Irving fryar if he came to the skins...thank god he didnt

[the burgundy and gold]

good hes washed up

[Ant15fromNJ]

Option 1 down.

[skinfan2k]

Great news. He's about done. Don't know why anyone here would want him.

There are better options in free agency than an old wr in the twighlight of his career.

i know ur opinon would change if he were in washington
