Redskins reached agreement with WR Brandon Stokley on a one-year deal.

Why do we want a 35 yr old WR? We need to get YOUNGER.

yay lets see how many mediocre receivers we can sign

Stokely was mediocre 4 or 5 years ago. I didn't even know he was still in the league!

We have 1 or 2 dozen WRs and only one is a proven starting WR and he is 32. I think Hankerson and AAA could be legit starting WRs but that is a simply a guess (AAA is at least some what proven).

The team was full of young WR, now they all have their very own 30+ mentor

LMAO!.. hilarious!

Are these WR deals including much guaranteed money? If not, then I say, the more camp fodder the better.

Now recite this 100 times before you go to bed each night:

Moss, Stallworth, Gaffney, Anthony Armstrong, Leonard Hankerson, Terrence Austin, Taurus Johnson, Brandon Banks, Malcolm Kelly, Niles Paul, Maurice Price, Roydell Williams and Aldrick Robinson.

Got it?

The competition at WR should be an eye full to watch! I'm happy Moss is still with the Burgundy & Gold!!!

Actually, Stokely played two years under MS when he was with the Broncos and I think bring an on the field coach (AKA mentor) is the ONLY way you can rationalize his signing.

With the short time to train up the young pups, Keenan is going to need all the help he can get!

Stokely is in so good with Shanny, he already has been assigned a number. #15. Must have been one of the conditions upon him signing.

We need 5 or 6 receivers. Youth only makes sense if they have potential. He may not make the team, but if it comes down to depth being him or a rookie we don't think will cut it I'd take Stokely.

I wouldn't. At this point we KNOW Stokley can't cut it.

Who is "we" and what do we "KNOW"? Unlike Galloway who was nothing but a speedster, Stokely knows how to run routes, can go down the middle, and is sure-handed. 23 out of 31 receptions were first downs.

I guess having someone who has proven that he can move the chains isn't anything our terrible offense needs.

50 receptions in the last 2 yrs. 35 yrs old.

Hah. My first reaction to this was, "Brandon Stokely is still in the league????"

I know we say this every year, but people really don't have to get upset over every WR we sign before training camp. A guy like Stokely may not make the team but he's still good to have in camp, to be an example for the young guys like Hankerson. Maybe demonstrate to Malcolm Kelly how to properly stretch his freaking hamstrings.

What we "KNOW" is that Bradon Stockley has started 4 games over the last 3 seasons; didn't score a single TD last season; and has 50 total catches and under 700 yards COMBINED over the last two years.

50 receptions in the last 2 yrs. 35 yrs old.

Fourth or Fifth receiver...

He's better then all our receivers last year but 2. If we have depth receivers who are rookies we like potential and/or contribute on special teams then he doesn't make it. But he gives us an option that's better then multiple of the hacks we had parked on the bench last year at receiver.

How many 4+ deep receivers started more? Do you know something that I don't that he made the team?

Brandon Stokley won't sign with Redskins. Too many WR's signed

So these players had to sign no contigency deal? They can just walk from an announcement?

Vets don't technically sign contracts until Friday - tomorrow.

I would guess that he had Shanny's OK on this since they do know each each other from the Broncos.

Yep, technically, these FA signings are on about the same level as a verbal committment to play at a University. They could all get a better deal tonight and leave for other teams.

Things will really pick up Friday, cuts aren't official until later today. That's even more FA hitting the market
