Redskins | Team targeting Randle El
Fri, 10 Mar 2006 15:02:40 -0800

The Associated Press reports the Washington Redskins are targeting free agent WR Antwaan Randle El (Steelers) via free agency, according to a league official. He spoke on condition of anonymity because under league rules, the team is not allowed to contact the players until the market opens at 12:01 a.m. EST Saturday, March 11. Randle El is one of four free agents the Reskins are targeting. As noted earlier, the other three are free agent WR Brandon Lloyd (49ers), LB/DE Andre Carter (49ers) and S Adam Archuleta (Rams).



:doh: God I hope they are wrong...

[Arsenic]

So basically the Redskins are interested in signing just about everyone :)

[CPstretch]

that would be disgusting.

god i hope they are right... even though randel-el may not be a typical #2 wr, he will add another dimension to our offense. no longer do we need to depend on portis to run trick plays. he and patten will open up the field for moss.

[Byner21]

If these are our 4 big pickups, I'd be pretty happy.

[chow184]

I will be pissed if we go after Randal El ,I dont want a dumbed down REALLY expensive version of santana moss with minor passing ability.

[sknsrbck26]

I'd be happy too....but other people won't be, why????

[visionary]

Well hopefully between El and Llloyd they could give Moss a lot of help and fight Patten for the 2nd spot.

;-)

[Ant15fromNJ]

Randel El and Moss wow what a combo just think of that screen to Randel El its like having two Santana's.

[elkabong82]

Groan... We need a WR w/ sure hands. Randle El's special teams contributions are invaluable though, but I think this is just another case of the media automatically assigning a big name FA to the Skins.

[sknsrbck26]

I will be pissed if we go after Randal El ,I dont want a dumbed down REALLY expensive version of santana moss with minor passing ability.

Yes BUT he gives a dangerous PR, and KR. I'll say it...it was a joke we had Betts back there as a KR.

[Oldskool]

I'd be happy too....but other people won't be, why????

because it does nothing to solve the issue of needing a large target to throw to over the middle to take coverage away from Moss.

[NEMO]

Those are quality players and i hope they are just good team guys.

[Frediemac]

Cowboys will sign Adam Venturini :( at 12:01

[RedskinsFanatic]

I'd be happy too....but other people won't be, why????

You can not make everyone happy...no matter WHO we pick up someone won't like it...you just have to trust coach Gibbs which I do. If he wants Randle El then I say welcome Randle El...if he doesn't he doesn't....I honestly find some..well most people's concerns amusing as I have them myself on some things but @ the end of the day what do we know? Leave it to the coaching staff and trust thier judgement....:logo:

[NEMO]

because it does nothing to solve the issue of needing a large target to throw to over the middle to take coverage away from Moss.

Loyd and Randel El can catch the ball... That is all we need. Anybody who can beat a one on one coverage is all we need.

[RabidFan]

Those are quality players and i hope they are just good team guys.

and Super Smart. :laugh:

[SackMachine]

I think the management is just talking to everybody to make sure we find atleast 1 wr. Randle-El isn't necessarly the first choice they have.

He seems to be alot more of a returner and a trick play kind of guy. He's not a solid WR but he has heart. Very nifty after the catch, the only problem is making the catch and the fact that he's the #3 WR. Ward> Wilson > Randle-El

He made a game saving tackle in the superbowl, stopping the Interception from going back for a touchdown.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

Cowboys will sign Adam Venturini :( at 12:01

That's fine...that means we can sign Vinatieri. :laugh:

[TD_washingtonredskins]

I will be pissed if we go after Randal El ,I dont want a dumbed down REALLY expensive version of santana moss with minor passing ability.

I don't disagree with your sentiment, but I wouldn't call playing QB in the Big 10 "minor" passing ability.

Although it WAS Indiana. :laugh:

[posse87]

I can't say this loud enough "GO AFTER JAVON WALKER." He is by far the best option available out there and due to his horrible relationship with the Greenbay front office and coming off a knee injury, we may be able to get him for a reasonable price. Just think what Walker and Moss streaking down the field would look like. Campbell would have a nice pair of WR's to to have for long term competitiveness and sustainable returns to the playoffs/superbowls.

[chow184]

this is the WR we need http://graphics.jsonline.com/graphics/packer/img/news/feb05/giv206.jpg

i agree with ur opinon, but this guy seems like a lesser version of TO. Plus i would not want to risk having a player coming off a major injury. Givens, Moulds, Randel-El, Jurveius, K. Robinson and A. Bryant should be the only wrs we look at in free agency.

well. randle el without a big body receiver is going to be a bad idea. along with lloyd? another matter..

a guess is that gibbs is remembering what joe washington brought to the offense... and what joe meggett brought to the giant offense under parcells.

[Lil Kenzo]

I really prefer not to get Randel-El and instead go after our most desperate need...a #2 receiver.

[fdarugar]

Anybody but randle-el...I am just hoping we get outbid. The other three guys I am perfectly fine with. Do you think we are looking at Carter at LB or DE?

[Bhutanibeast]

holy good lord almighty!

[Tarhog]

We have to keep in mind that our coaches and front office are clearly incapable of recognizing talent when they see it. Lets face it, Santana Moss will NEVER be a #1 receiver in this league!

[talk show host]

I can't see us going after randel el AND lloyd. Considering Lloyd would require a 1st round draft pick as compensation and Randel El is the premiere receiver on the market, I don't think we go after both. It would be SICK though if we got both. And it would also probably mean we'd be getting rid of Patten.

and before everybody goes off the deep end... this site had the redskins going after bruce a couple of days ago...

hybrid role... like charles haley.. carter totally torched samuels from the def end spot the year before last. he has amazing closing speed from the edge. i do not know how strng he is at the point of attack, so he won't be a 3 down player. he is at 265 so that is heavy for a linebacker and he does not drop back in coverage that well. what he truly does well is get after the passer

He finished 2002 with 54 tackles and 13 sacks, sounds like he could be a steal if Williams can coach him up to his potential. Last year he had 44 tackles and 5 sacks...in that hybrid role.

lloyd would only require a 1 if we cannot agree on a trade.. they will likely accept a 2nd rounder or perhaps a player in exchange.. perhaps betts, although they do have gore and others at runner...or perhaps dockery ??

you are absolutely correct that having patten would make no sense at that point. same with jacobs. and maybe even thrash, although he is more of a special teamer now

[skeenzfan]

how come other ppl's 7th rounders (givens), second rounders(branch), first rounders (walker) become good to great receivers and we just can't draft a WR to save our lives?
Maybe we need to take a look at our scouting department.

[SkinFan63]

We have to keep in mind that our coaches and front office are clearly incapable of recognizing talent when they see it. Lets face it, Santana Moss will NEVER be a #1 receiver in this league!


Yep, that was a disaster. And the deal to get Portis was by far,the dumbest thing they've ever done! (Like he'll ever be any good)

Hail!:point2sky

[talk show host]

Anybody but randle-el...I am just hoping we get outbid. The other three guys I am perfectly fine with. Do you think we are looking at Carter at LB or DE?

i was just thinking: if we go after randel-el and lloyd it would make randel el our #3 receiver. and I love him as a #3 b/c that means we dont need to have a roster spot used up by a #3QB. And as a #3 receiver, randel el could be QB in a pinch and we'd still have our #1 and #2 receivers on the field.

Goodbye Patten.

[skeenzfan]

I am praying that we don't sign Randel-El. He will be nothing but an overpaid return guy.

[da#1skinsfan]

I cant imagine Patten is out after his short stint here...that doesnt make any sense.

My bet is they are targeting both receivers, and probably keeping an eye on Givens as well, and seeing what deal they can work out for 1 of the above. Lloyd costs a pick, and Raandle El is being pursued by everyone under the sun and WILL be overpaid...I cant imagine they pick up both guys...that would be one insane receiving corps, where there are other areas to address in terms of depth.

[skinswin1]

that would be disgusting.

If the skins do this, this will be a blunder.

[Hog Fever]

and Super Smart. :laugh:

:laugh:

I think we would go after Lloyd OR Randle El but I can’t see us going after both. We still have Patten, who is a decent receiver who got hurt before he could get comfortable, and I can’t see Gibbs getting rid of Thrash.

Randle El wants to be at least a #2 receiver; he’s certainly going to expect to be paid like one. I doubt he could be that with Lloyd and Patten on the team.

I’m not knocking Randle El, I think he would fit nicely. But if we go after one we don’t need to go after the other.

[SkinnedAussie]

I read on KFFL a couple of days ago that Archuleta was ready to travel to DC, but when FA was delayed, he delayed his trip. People are using his stats as a negative, but I see it as opposing teams wouldn't throw it his way (much like teams don't throw to Roland), so you won't get an INT if you don't get it thrown to your side.

As someone mentioned, Lloyd will cost us a first round draft pick, something we don't have this year, so there's no chance there.

Venturini (sp) to the Girls? Puleese, if you are going to break news, at least know who it is you are talking about. However, don't think that the Skins can afford Vinatieri as he would want big dollars.

Would Andre Carter be the fix we need at DL, or would he be a replacement for Lavar? If we have the dollars, go after Witherspoon or Thornton, and then go for Kemoeatu if we sign one of the LB's.

Isn't Javon Walker's agent Drew Rosenhaus? If so, there's two reasons to steer clear of him!

[da#1skinsfan]

Is all this Venturini stuff a joke in a thread I missed?

The dudes name is Vinateiri (not sure if Im spelling it right) but Vinateiri at least is phonetically correct :)

You obviously skipped over post #15!

[CPstretch]

not anymore, walker fired him during the season last year.

[CooleyNaMean]

If the skins do this, this will be a blunder.

That's what people were saying last year when we traded for Moss. Have faith in the front office.

[brunell]

I want no part of Javon Walker, but Randle El and Lloyd would be fine

[#1Redskins]

So basically the Redskins are interested in signing just about everyone :)
Hahaha! I thought they were trying to pick up Brandon Lloyd... Who's next?

[DonMagicJuan]

i hope not...nothing against my man Randel-El but he def wont be a #2 but HE COULD BE a great #3(slot reciever) and our main punt/kick returner...we could kill 3 birds with one stone so to speak!

[CPstretch]

we could sign randle el but i think we would still need to draft mo stovall. randle el is essentially the same as david patten, both are small quick receivers. signing him wont get us what we need which is a big posession reciever

[blugene]

I personally wouldn't mind seeing Randle-El, Moss, and Cooley down field on pass plays!

[bertoskins]

bring back rod gardner, if you want possession type

[ColdnGrey]

I don't say this often, but "In Gibbs I Trust".

Nobody wanted us to sign Moss last year either. He was too quick to step out of bounds and too easily injured.

Plus, I really like Randle-El.

[RedskinsFanatic]

Gardner?....no thanks.

[redskins55]

I cant imagine Patten is out after his short stint here...that doesnt make any sense.

My bet is they are targeting both receivers, and probably keeping an eye on Givens as well, and seeing what deal they can work out for 1 of the above. Lloyd costs a pick, and Raandle El is being pursued by everyone under the sun and WILL be overpaid...I cant imagine they pick up both guys...that would be one insane receiving corps, where there are other areas to address in terms of depth.

Patten will be our #3. We will not go after two receivers. So you are very much correct in that assessment.

We really need defensive additions to help our team. We dont necessarily need a big name reciever opposite of Moss. Just a productive guy who is consistant. I'm sold on Patten being the #2 if we have a chance to get a big time defensive end.

[RDSKNfaithfull]

Randell El will be the biggest FA bust this year :doh: Don't get me wrong he is solid but he is a career #3 up untill last year. The guy will get a big contract because of his face time from the Superbowl run :doh: If this guy is so good how come the steelers are not hell bent on re signing him? They don't want to overpay him. We shouldn't either this guy is looking for a pay day.

[sugarbear326]

Cowboys will sign Adam Venturini :( at 12:01

I hope not, sorry Hall, you got to go. See ya

[G-Prime]

all those wide outs? That's a lot of ego to handle..

[WENEEDOWENS!]

I still stand by my name!!!!!!

[GOSKN5]

Yes BUT he gives a dangerous PR, and KR. I'll say it...it was a joke we had Betts back there as a KR.

I wouldnt say it was total joke... he did take one to the house.... there are some KR guys in the league that cant say that....

[SkinnedAussie]

According to sources, the two sides were working on parameters for a deal, but had yet to agree on compensation.

[SkinsFanMania]

Who's Adam Venturini, if you mean Vinateri than that would be a great p/u for them, but I surely do not mind if they pick up Venurini.
