Oh I'm sure they will, and rightly so. But this guy had a roster spot until his injury last year, in my opinion.

Honestly, I'm hoping they look at someone like Eddie Royal who can not only play the slot, but has started some and is a good return guy as well. I'm in VA, and his play at Tech was exceptional even when he didn't have the best QB play. He also has a connection to Orton from Denver, so there's a potential connection to get him in the building.

Just sayin'...

I like Royal but he was discussing a deal with the Skins very similar to Robinson's 6 mil.

I still can't believe they are paying him that much for one good year.

And that might be too much for the 'Boys to pay. But Royal has earned that payday a heck of a lot more than Robinson has. And I'll be surprised if the Commanders sign another receiver at this point, having already brought in 2. Were those discussions before those two signings or since?

After. they still want him. They thought they had him signed but other teams jumped in. Not sure what the latest is at this point.

good for him, but I'm sure they can find a good #3 receiver in this year's free agency, or draft. It's deeper than usual.

On the Jaguars forum, they are going wild. They think he's the greatest WR since Rice. Those poor, dumb fools don't realize he was a complete nobody until he got here.

Ah, hadn't heard that. Too bad.

I've heard Early Doucet's name mentioned along with several others. Will likely have to wait and see what other moves they make before the third WR gets resolved.

thought on Manningham. Hurts the Giants, knows the 3rd spot.

He's going to want to be a starter, so na. I would take him, but he doesn't want to be a 3rd receiver.

Wow, I know he had a really solid year for us, but that is pretty big money for a guy no one wanted last off season. Good for him, bad for the Cowboys.

$6 million for, essentially, a one-year wonder?

No thank you.

One year wonders Romo, Barber, Austin they all got signed for big contracts

If you saw the WR's they had suiting up for them last year, you'd get excited too lol.

i wouldn't be too concerned about this to start. 6 mill a year can mean very different things depending on bonus/guaranteed money and the like.

Ah I was hoping we'd get to keep him. The only dark cloud of the day, imo.
But I sure wouldn't want to go over 6mil. That's crazy talk!

:laugh2: Well one of those eight fans thinks Robinson can't wait to play with a QB of Gabberts level.
