e16bball Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 A little while ago, Tee Higgins made the kind of play that we haven’t seen a Redskins receiver make in something approaching decades, I’d imagine. Just physically superior to the DB, refused to be denied. I’m not fully sold on giving more huge money to a WR, but aside from the pass-rushers (many of whom will likely get tagged), he has to be one of the best pure talents out there in FA this offseason that might be a fit with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I said a few weeks back I’d do what it takes to get him. Paying him gives you the option to move back for a haul if MHJ is there. ORRRRRRR it gives you an opportunity to move Terry for a pick and take MHJ and pair him with Higgins lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking up what would be an average for him and I saw approximately 16-17m. We have the cap space this coming year and you can’t fill every need through the draft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one thing that is abundantly clear in recent years is that high-end OL do not frequently change teams. Occasionally they do, usually when the team moving them is inept (*ahem* Trent Williams *ahem* Brandon Scherff), but the FA market is usually pretty devoid of high quality starters — and it definitely seems that way this year. And beyond that, it seems like non-elite OL frequently have trouble changing teams and schemes. WR is one of those positions where you do more frequently see players change teams and still continue to excel. If they’re inclined to spend, they could do worse than Higgins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappy Mc Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Man we really messed up "beating" New England and Atlanta. We could have had a legitimate shot at the #1 pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORRRRRRR it gives you an opportunity to move Terry for a pick and take MHJ and pair him with Higgins lol Yep, you're idea grew on my over the last month. I think you first said we should sign Tee Higgins back in Oct. My only thing is, short of making Tee Higgins one of the highest-paid WRs in the NFL I’m not sure why he'd come to a team with a huge question mark at QB. I want Howell to be the guy as much as anyone but based on this last month we just can't believe he will be. He may still develop as Kirk did in his 2nd & 3rd years starting but no top FA WR can look at Sam or a rookie starting and think yeah, that's where in want to go! It's going to be hard to lock up Tee Higgins, just as it was hard to convince Amari Cooper to leave the Cowboys in 2020 to come here when we aren't sure of our answer at QB.

ripsean21 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 This team has taken the best years of my life for a game I absolutely love playing still and watching and made it too where I can’t even watch NFL anymore 🤣🤣🤣 I would love to see us pick a few local boys Fashonu grew up right down the road from me and Chop Robinson is a beast but no player can fix this team. I think the only thing that can is a miracle and when you follow this team on social media I don’t know if I can say our fanbase deserves it anymore because they are pretty dumb. This is the only place I can come to for intelligent Washington football talk because our fanbase is clueless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Nov/Dec rolls around and we can't win then the tank should be on bc every win means worse draft position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappy Mc Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) This week has a chance to be really bad for our draft standings. If we beat the NY Jets, we will fall to at least 6. We would have to hope that Chicago beats Arizona and NY Giants beat Philly to prevent that from happening. (We would still fall to #5) On the flip side, if we lose, we should be actively hoping for an Arizona win, as that would give us the #3 pick. I have little doubt we get drubbed by the 9ers and the Cowboys, but this upcoming week is the most important. We HAVE to lose to the Jets.
