Heck, if the skins are looking to sign a useless waste of roster space, then skip Freddie Mitchell, and sign me! I can be useless for half the price of ol' Freddie "The Mouth" Mitchell. I can be useless on offense, useless on defense, even useless on special teams!! I'm a triple threat of uselessness, baby!!

Why all the Freddie Mitchell hate? He's a decent player who's colorful, funny and likeable. I wish sports had more characters like him, remember when he was thanking his hands for being so great and hamming it up with those reporters? That was awesome!

Why all the hate? Because he just talks too much for someone who really hasn't done anything in the league. He's never had more than 35 catches in a season, and never more than 500 yards receiving. Wasn't he a first-round pick, too?

Mitchell is a decent reciever, has a knack for getting first down catches. big mouth though, doubt the skins would sign him...but these days who knows

It's nice to have a big mouth on the team. I certainly did not take any offense to what FSmoot used to stay. Actually, I'm going to miss what FSmoot used to say!

Freddie folds like a cheap suit at crunch time, and worries too much about what everybody else is doing and saying. When a man starts to believe his own BS, there's no upside.
Posted: Thu May 05, 2005 9:40 pm
Could we just sign his HAIR?
Yes I am a little jealous of the fro.

Note to Boss Hog:
Is there any way to suspend a supposed Redskin fan for a week from thehogs.net for even contimplating Freddy Mitchell in burgundy and gold?
Shame on you people who would even consider the thought. What's next ...bringing Emmit Smith out of retirement to start ahead of Portis??

The bottom line is how much a player contributes on the field. Eagles team stats show he was 6th on the team in receptions last season. I doubt they'll miss him if he's cut.
Heck, his career numbers over 4 seasons are only 90 catches for 1263 yards - good receivers can do that in a single season, not 4! Time to run your legs, not your mouth, Freddie!

Redskins May Be Interested in Mitchell
Saturday, May 7, 2005; Page D02
The Philadelphia Eagles yesterday released outspoken wide receiver Freddie Mitchell , who has expressed an interest in playing for the Washington Redskins.
The Redskins have not ruled out pursuing the 2001 first-round pick from UCLA, but sources said yesterday the team had not contacted the four-year veteran. Sources also indicated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have a serious interest in Mitchell.
The Redskins have not contacted Freddie Mitchell, a first-round pick from UCLA in 2001, but sources said Friday they have not ruled out pursuing the outspoken wide receiver.
In response to media inquiries about Mitchell, the Redskins issued a brief release: "He will be evaluated just like every other player who hits the waiver wire. If we have interest, we will contact him."
The Redskins already have a logjam at wide receiver with Santana Moss , David Patten , Taylor Jacobs , James Thrash and Darnerien McCants . Rod Gardner remains in limbo after the club was unable to trade him before April's draft. But Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs said Thursday that he is "skeptical" about Gardner returning for the 2005 season.
Mitchell was the 25th selection in 2001 -- 10 spots after Gardner -- but has failed to live up to expectations. In 63 career games, Mitchell has just 90 catches for 1,263 yards and 5 touchdowns.
Mitchell also drew attention by giving himself nicknames such as "The People's Champ," and criticized quarterback Donovan McNabb for not throwing him enough passes. Eagles Coach Andy Reid reportedly grew tired of Mitchell's act and uninvited him from the team's mandatory minicamp last week.

More speculation from Nunyo.
I hope it doesn't become true, though.

Of couse he's does, he wants a FAT paycheck!

If he did not require a hole in the wallet, I'd get him. Okay player, but I like his cockyness before and after games. It's always nice to have a player like that. (aka FSmoot)
The only difference is that FSmoot brought it out on Sundays, don't know if Mitchell would...

No no no no no no no, and no.
This "story" is an exercise in speculation and pointless gossip. No way will we sign Freddie Mitchell. We've already got half a dozen question marks at wide receiver, and we need no more.
Just to clarify: no.

One look at this years draft and you can see Gibbs is going after character as much as skill Mithchell has neither

The Eagles have cut 2 guys over the past 2 years that are better than a guy they continue to keep -- Todd Stinkston.
Freddie Mitchell is more talented than Todd, not afraid to go over the middle like Todd and actually not a bad guy -- a funny guy. On first blush you might think he's a pain in the butt, but I don't believe he is. He's more goofy than hateful. He dressed up like Col. Sanders for some country western radio station...
I'd give him a chance...more competition will only help us. I would NOT give him much money, invite him to camp.
plus, he's a Fred and that gives him one leg up on all other FA comers...
Come on down FreddyEx.

Pinkston is bad but no where near as bad as Fast Mouth Freddie! FMF was drafted in the bottom half of the first round the same year as Gardner. You all just hate Gardner, and I don't care for him too much, but he has been a fairly good WR (a lot better than most of you will admit). However FMF is just done right horrible. He has made three lucky plats in his pittiful career and that makes people think that he is good. He is the "Alvin Harper" of the Eagles, just not as good (and that is pretty bed)

THE NEWS
49ers' head coach Mike Nolan laughed on Saturday when a reporter proposed the idea of signing free agent wide receiver Freddie Mitchell. "Give me some names, some good names," Nolan fired back with a laugh, according to the Mercury News. "I don't want to chase the pretty girls that are out there, the ones that everybody says, 'Oh, this one is good.' And then you get them on your squad and they just don't fit. There's a reason somebody else doesn't want them." The Eagles released Mitchell on Friday.
OUR VIEW
So much for the FredEx to San Francisco rumors. Meanwhile, it appears that Nolan has also given up on the idea of signing troubled wideout David Boston, whom he met with in March. As things stand today, the Niners have eight receivers on the roster and only one, Brandon Lloyd, has started at the pro level.

Is there really a 5 page thread on Freddie in Hog Wash?? I would definitely rank this guy below Santana Moss and half the guys around here moaned about that signing.
Posted: Mon May 09, 2005 1:12 am
No no, he's ... good. You'd like him. Honest.
