Honestly just putting on pads and make a catch from time to time doesn’t mean your a good pick up.

You’d think a lawyer would know better than to tweet something to the whole internet without signing anything.

He’s a crafty WR. Ricky Proehl played until he was how old? (Not saying they’re on the same level, but still).

I’ve always been a fan. I’m still bummed I ripped his jersey in one of my IM flag football games.

“For those complaining and saying that the article said this was a “screwup by the Redskins,” could you do me a favor and point out ANYWHERE in the article that was written? Oh, it wasn’t and you just needed something to complain about? Awesome!

Pretty sure all it said was that they wouldn’t be happy about this…”

It’s amazing how this guy was able to read all the comments about people complaining about a “Redskins scewup” but failed to read the 3rd comment…

….but there’s no denying we got more for Fat Albert than people thought we would.

A 5th round pick is *more* than you thought you’d get for Haynesworth?

That’s just sad.

Stokely was gonna go to the Redskins and then realized what the hell had just happened and backed out.

But then again, why would *any* WR want to go to DC with a QB pool of Beck, Grossman, and Clemmons?

Added a ton of young/prime talent in need positions- Otogwe, Wilson, Coefield, possibly Cullen Jenkins… and we also got rid of the cancer and overpaid bums. Sure we still have Beck and Grossman battling it out for starting QB, but good god we’ve made so many smart moves for the future… time for you to re-evaluate

Don’t sign Vince Young, by the way!!

I’m not thrilled with what’s happened thus far, but there’s no denying we got more for McChunk and Fat Albert than people thought we would. Next year we have extra picks in the 5th and 6th rounds.

Unfortunately, he’s always been underrated, except maybe when he was with the Colts. He’s got 2 Superbowl rings with 2 different teams, this guy is still a weapon.

This is going to be like Portis/Johnson/Parker … or The Highlander … there can be only one.

Unless it’s signed, the deal isn’t done.

Great for website traffic though. Everyone has been so ready for football that we’ll take whatever we can get.

That’s also why the big names and smart players won’t be announcing anything until Friday evening.

How is this a screw up by the Skins? I patiently await your un-educated response.

Dude, you really can not be this stupid or can you. Have you read the rules about how many bodies are needed in camp. He wasnt going to makee the team anyway. I would not call this a screwup… However I would call you a screwup.

If he’s worried he will lose out on playing time to Donte Stallworth and Gaffney, he clearly doesn’t see himself as a low to mid level WR….

Please explain how this is even remotely a screw-up on the part of the Redskins.

He wasn’t making the team anyway. With 90 men rosters for the next few weeks I’m sure there will be tons of head scratchers around the league. I’m also sure your love for the skins will shine and you will only bash dc.

Stallworth will struggle to make the team as well.
