My reaction to DJax becoming a skin would be about 1/1000th the revulsion I felt when I heard Jagr was going to be a Capital. And just like that episode, I'll have to learn to root for the guy.

I will say, there are a lot of Hockey players I don't want on the Capitals. I can't think of any Football players I'd care about if they joined the Skins.

#Breaking Its official. DeSean Jackson is a Redskin.

Now looks like a three-year agreement between the Washington Redskins and WR DeSean Jackson.

If RG3 regains form they will have a stupid offense.

Of course it's the Skins and Snyder so this is likely to blow up in their faces in comical fashion.

At least it's just 3 years.

I don't care about that off the field rumor stuff. But a nice dangerous weapon for RGiii. Just draft some OLine for godsake.

With DJax in the fold, what player(s) are you hoping drop to the second round?

I'd love it if either DT Louis Nix III or G Su’a-Filo dropped to the 'Skins first pick. King Louie the third would slot in at nose tackle, letting Cofield shift to end. A front three of Hatcher-Nix-Cofield would be big and athletic - a nightmare to run against and any of those guys is capable of beating a 1 on 1 matchup in a passing situation. Rotate in Baker, Jenkins, and Bowen to keep everyone fresh. Also, with Nix in there, I think the skins wouldn't need to bring a safety in the box very often.

On the other side, right tackle is a bigger need, but Su’a-Filo is a potential probowl player from day one. He's big, athletic, and has a mean streak - but reportedly good technique as well. The opposition got pressure up the middle far too often last season. I think Su’a-Filo is capable of winning 1v1s on passing downs, letting Lichtensteiger pick up a blitzer or help the winner of the competition at the other guard spot (Chester, Luv, Ribs, Gettis). Give Polumbus some help from a TE/RB and you have the makings of a good pass protection unit. In the running game, Su’a-Filo improves the short yardage game and could open some big holes for Morris to exploit.

Fingers crossed this kid has a monster chip on his shoulder and keeps his nose clean.

Please don't blow up in our face, please don't blow up in our face.

One thing is for sure, Madden will be fun!

I think our players helped sell DC, and made Allen's job a lot easier. Allen has had a strong offseason.

I think our offense will be at its best scoring from 30 yards out

#NoRedZoneThreat

In before someone else coins MeSean.

I think Jordan Reed will be our RZ threat if he can stay healthy. Dude is a freak.

I think I was the first to add him to my fantasy team.

But you nailed it. If he can stay healthy. The guy may be more injury prone than Hank.

I want a hands TE drafted later in the draft.

I saw on twitter DJ may be used out of the backfield. That is so Redskins. Maybe he will be a hands back of sorts.

 

[BobRouse]

24 million with 16 guaranteed.

Thats a pretty solid deal for the Skins. I thought it would be much more.

The guy is a game breaking playmaker. We haven't had that since Santana Moss circa 2005 or so.

I do hope too that this will motivate him. Seems like he could have gotten alot more at other destinations.

 

[Capitlols]

That is a great deal for the Skins, borderline steal.

 

[Darkproducer]

Sorry, even with is his off the field concerns, I am happy about this signing esp at that price. The fact that I live 15 mins from Philly makes me even happier haha.

I do wonder if we'll target someone like Colt Lyerla in the later rounds. Paulsen is a great blocker and a good possession TE while Niles Paul is a ST demon who should be more of a threat at TE but hasn't taken that leap yet.

I'm still in awe at the contract. We are giving 16 mil guaranteed to Desean Jackson and gave 11.5 mil guaranteed to Josh Morgan! Go figure. I wonder if what Rapoport said was true -- that other teams thought DJ was going to command 10+ mil/year which is why they were reluctant to bring him in. Sounds like DJ wanted to be here as opposed to going to the highest bidder which is a nice change of pace for us.

 

[RandyHolt]

I think its safe to say having RG3 in the house and courting him along with Garcon and Hall, made Bruce's job a lot easier.

Some scoff at players having a hand in these things, but I think once a GM zero's in on someone, its fine to unleash the crew to get him.

I could see them running the option with Jackson as the back. It'd definitely put the perimeter defenders in a bind.

Can we please change the thread title? The Redskins haven't started the season yet and don't need bad Oates vibes just yet. Plus if it was up to Oates you know Alfred would be QB, RGIII would be the slot receiver, Trent would be our starting DE, and Jackson our starting free safety.

 

[QuadrupleDeke]

I'm so glad this happened. This Redskins season is shaping to to be some fun watchin', no matter which way it goes.

I don't follow the team, so someone else will have to come up with something.

With the number two pick in the 2014 draft the Washington Redskins select:

Desean Jackson, WR from the University of Philadelphia

I love this pick up at this price.

 

[EroCaps]

Eh the #2 pick remains an epic botch if RG3 flames out like last year.
