Should the Redskins Sign a big name receiver in the Off Season?

[nonniey]

Depends on where the Free Agent quality is. If it is at WR then yes. And yes at this point it does look like of the Free Agents available more bang for the buck can be had at WR but every year there are some unexpected players available. But right now I'd try to get Dwayne Bowe.

Bowe would be nice, great hands but undisciplined route runner which does not fit a new QB well.

I think our receivers were OK, offense is 5th in the leage.

Defense is 28th...

Id like us to put more of our resources there.... 3 to 5 split..

no doubt no doubt

the thought of adding greg jennings makes me drool tho :P

Vinny would think so too

[JKonaP]

Mike Wallace would be a coup, however, that's pipe-dreamin' it. Draft a RT, sign a couple DBs and shore up the D. Boom.

Or, the ZBS lends to later round finds with OL, draft a couple of safeties and depth for the front 7 and OL.

Who would mesh well with our personnel and system?

^I think Cribbs would be a great addition because he can return KOs also.

We should add another receiver, but we have a bigger need a playmaker in our secondary, a nose tackle, or RT. Since theres more free agent WR talent this year, we should add a mid-card to make our offense even more threatening. I can't wait to have Fred Davis back too.

If you look at the top issues this team needs to address, they'd be: keeping Griffin healthy; improving our pass rush, and limiting the opponent's passing game (at least the big plays). I read that as us needing o-line help, a pass rusher, safeties (and probably corners) and maybe a 3rd down back... not so much a stud wr (not that that'd hurt).

In terms of improving our passing game, if Davis comes back (healthy) for us, I think he'll fit the bill. Remember, Davis and Garçon haven't really been on the field together. Seeing Davis' blocking improve so greatly makes him an even bigger loss than his quality production indicates.

This is already a very dangerous offense, add a pass-catching back and a RT and this offense would be that much harder to stop/defend. Heck, we're easily a top 10 offense in all the stats that really matter, so a massive (read: costly) upgrade is less necessary.

Factor in the concerns with T. Jackson (and C. Griffin), Orakpo/Merriweather/Helu/Bernstine's health, Fletcher's age, Hall's contract, Davis' status and the poor play of M. Williams, and it pretty easy to ignore our wr group.

Long story short, as others have said it would be nice, but it's not one of our top priorities. Also, we're a bit short on cash since the robbery.

Why do they have to be big name? Can't they just be good?

[FrFan]

I think the best ones like Cruz, Amendola, Jennings, etc... will be re-signed by their teams. I'd rather try to sign Jairius Byrd, but I also doubt the Bills will let him hit free agency like that.

[afkidd]

this has probably been said before, but we have the 5th rated offense based on yards and 7th on points. this is basically without davis and garcon on the field at the same time. we have a horrible defense even though they've had stretches of being ok lately. let's focus on d.

[Mr_ Skinshead]

Yes, for the secondary.

[Gamebreaker]

I think they should go bargain hunting. Save the cap space for positions that are hurting more. Send offers to Amendola, who would thrive in this system but would be cheaper than Welker, and give Ted Ginn Jr. a second chance to save his career. Top candidates like Dwayne Bowe, Welker, and Greg Jennings will cost too much when we need a whole new secondary.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

John Mara has already answered your question.

We have too many more pressing needs, and too little cap space to work with, to even contemplate this in 2013. We roll with what we have, and anyone that fits that's cheap and upgrades next year. Garcon's a bona fide #1, and it's another year of development for the likes of Hank and Aldrick.

Hail.

[Leonard Washington]

Don't they already have a big name receiver in Garcon?
