freakofthesouth Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I had this though buried in a RE thread, but felt it necessary to post: I hope that we didn't give RE a bigger contract than Santana... If we didn't, then I feel very good about these moves. RE is explosive, just like Santana. We loved the production we got out of him last season, and we are seeking out the same thing in RE...and also in B-LLoyd. If one stat for WRs shows 'explosiveness,' then it would be YPC. By borrowing the graphic from Kevin B.'s sig, we can see this illustrated (below). We heard last season how we were attracted to Moss and Patten because of their YPC. I feel like Pittsburg wasn't using RE to his potential, much like Moss wasn't used to his potential w/ the Jets. Give him more opportunities to make plays, and he will. Throw B-Lloyd in there, and we have a TON of talent roaming opposing teams' secondary. edit: apparently, I can't attach the same image twice, so there is no graphic here. But Santana had 17.7 last year, RE 15.9, Lloyd 15.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOLhandsCOOLEY Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I had the exact same thought as you. I did a little bit of research, and it appears that moss and Randal El have the same contract. 6 years 31M. This is getting really exciting!!

And deliberate, too. Thereis no #1 WR, at least not by contrat size. Joe Gibbs is a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Redskin Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I think they both got 31 mil but moss got 1mil more in bonus money. That is what I heard on espn anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOLhandsCOOLEY Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 those are not impressive TD numbers for a $31M receiver. Although I think we're all about to see something REALLY special out our Burgandy and Gold... Now I just want to see some new faces on the other side of the ball. HAIL!!!

da#1skinsfan Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 My question is......what are we going to give Lloyd now??? I thought for SURE he was worth more than ARE, but now, more than Santana....this contract situation should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it won't be too far off from the other contracts, in the name of equality. But could we afford that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
