You can only run so many wr screens.

Actaully Randle El is more of a possesion reciever, he has a great burst but is not the fastest WR in the league. He was used as a "chain mover" all year last year.

Awesome, simply, AWESOME!!!

ESpn removed the story from their website

So far, so good. It doesn't feel like 2000, where everything happened at like, 12:02.
We're improving...on a 10-6 season.
NFC East, look out. Here come the Redskins !

And more importantly, all the guys we have acquired or are trying to acquire are on the right side of 30, which could not have been said of Jeff George, Bruce Smith, Mark Carrier and Deion Sanders.

Wow!

Just haven't mentioned that lately and besides, I just became an offical Hog... What a day..........WOW

Hopefully ESPN is right.

Youch!

I can't believe it! So much for a lack of Depth at WR!

Now lets pay some attention to the less glamorous positions!

Lets pay some attention to the Defense and O-line!

Chad

Joe Gibbs has a vision for the future. In 3 years, we will have Campbell in his 2nd year, Portis, Moss, ey, Randel El, and Lloyd together for their 3rd consecutive year, and an all pro coaching staff to mold them into a powerhouse. The Skins are going to be the most consistent team and will become the next dynasty in football...

LONG LIVE JOE GIBBS!!!



PS-knock on wood

I heard that supposedly the report is false. We have not signed him supposedly.

ya, guys over at extreme skins are sayin that

....David Elfin, Washington Times, was just on Sirius NFLRadio and he said he spoke with Randle El ten (10) minutes ago and that the ESPN report is not true!

and this post was made at 4:45

The fact that the washingtonpost.com and Redskins.com have not reported that we have signed Randle EL seems to back that point.

I hope the report is true though.

redskins.com is slow as hell anyways

but that qoute i put up was quoted from another forum and that post was put up at 4:11.

basically on nfl radio at 4:00 david elfin said that randell el was on a plane heading for chicago and that he had not signed a contract with the washington redskins.

John Clayton said he knew the financial details of the new deal and said that the Redskins offered him 12 million more in total contract value than the Bears original offer. Clayton said that negotiations wrapped up 30 min ago. Clayton is never wrong.

word...

el would be an idiot to turn down that much money and the opportunity to play under such a pro coaching staff
"clayton is never wrong" got that right

ESPN just updated the article with financial details.
6 years, 31 mil
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2365504

ESPN updated their site with financial details: "Former Steelers wide receiver Antwaan Randle El has agreed to a six-year, $31 million deal with the Washington Redskins, a source familiar with the negotiations told ESPN.com's Michael Smith. The deal includes $10 million in bonuses."

Who knows what's going on, but none of the other sites are updated, makes you wonder.

maybe ESPN "the worldwide leader in sports" knows a little more than Jay Glazer from FOX and Adam Schefter from NFL Network. Plus Elfin (Wash Times) reported this morning that the Redskins were strapped with the cap and had little money to spend.

"the Redskins are so pressed for salary cap room that it's hard to see them being able to afford Randle El"

You'll never convince me of that as long as Pasquarelli still works for ESPN.
