NEMO Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 To much money to even consider... Everybody is going to be to much money. The only wide reciever were going to get this year is through the draft. We will probably trade a lot of next years draft picks for some D.P. this year because next year we can get any free agent we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballGuy2677 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Bruce would be a good candidate as our # 2 guy, these are his #'s from last season... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=2914 Hes obviously on the decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Gut Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 he's used to playing on a pass first, turf team can he run block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKiNz Jus 2 sick Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I believe he's 35. Thats pretty damn long in the tooth for an NFL WR.That being said, he had a pretty good year in 2004. 89 catches for 1,292 yards and a 14.5 yd average. Not bad, and it was 2 years ago. Don't see it though. look at jurivicous( or however you spell his name), McCardell and Jimmy Smith those guys are all old and still putting up numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 look at jurivicous( or however you spell his name), McCardell and Jimmy Smith those guys are all old and still putting up numbers I've already said he may still be above average. Its not necessarily about that - its about cost vs. benefit. I'm skeptical he's worth paying significant money for, thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazhog Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 If we can fit Bruce into our cap... He'll be a REDSKIN!!! Like it or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portis&taylor Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 The guy is old but i think he would be much better and taller than patten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Keep in mind he was in a very pass happy offense that was playing from behind a lot in the last couple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzFiftySix Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Here is what I dont understand.... if we are supposedly going to have to cut all of these players, how in the world does anyone think we will have 10 cents to chase after ANY free agents?

Tastes Like Chicken Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Also keep in mind that we're 90 minutes away from having to gut $17,000,000.00 from our roster just to get under the cap, not even including the millions it will take to sign the draft picks this year- the draft picks that we will utilize to fill our holes, according to Vinny Cerrato. With no CBA, forget about free agent signings. Be happy if we can keep our most talented players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkabong82 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 John Clayton stated during his remarks on the latest extension that Bruce is on the Rams list to get cut. This is dependant on the CBA deal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce was a cap casualty under the previous deadline, but the Rams may choose to remove his name from that list and continue to use the extra time to work out a new contract with him." http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Kenzo Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Keep in mind he was in a very pass happy offense that was playing from behind a lot in the last couple seasons. I hate to say this. But that makes sense and I have to agree. We are not the pass first Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Not being a pass-first team doesn't decrease his value as a receiver. He's still damn good at what he does, we just have to worry about whether or not he could hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I hate to say this. But that makes sense and I have to agree. We are not the pass first Rams. Why would you hate to say that? Its the truth. You dont want him. Also check his numbers on turf and inside vs. on grass and outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Pablo Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Isaac Bruce was in St. Louis during the Vermeil/Martz/Saunders era and knows the offense we run. It makes sense to bring him here if only for the work ethic and push he'll give our other receivers. Think of it like the effect that Irving Fryar had on our receivers during the 99' playoff push. Obviously, we should bring in some youth, too, but given all that Bruce could bring to the table, it would be great to have him here. There is also how much he'll demand contract-wise, but if that isn't an obstacle, he should be a redskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs_pink Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 He is old, I think he can still play though. HOWEVER, I don't think he'll be in Washington..he'll demand too much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbasye Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Very old. Not sure if this is a good idea or not. Runs very precise routes, but probably can't stretch the field anymore. Maybe as a slot receiver?Oh, I supose I should make the obligatory "vet-minimum-with-incentives" bit... Are there any minimum's with the salary cap expired??

bulldog Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 with high profile under 30 players getting released, I don't see Bruce getting mega buck from anybody. he is going to get a mid-range deal. I still think the release of Arrington, though, is evidence that Gibbs is going back to the model of having the Redskins be a team of a few stars and a solid group of complementary players around them. The replacements for Arrington and some others are likely to be lower profile free agents and draft picks that turn out to be productive for the Redskins.
