Washington redskins Fans have always thought of Santana Moss as having the set of skills more appropriate to be a No. 2 receiver than a No. 1. With Moss now signed to a three year contract, and with a deep free agent wide receiver class, this could be the year that the Washington Redskins have the opportunity to add a top-flight receiver. If they're unable to make a deal with Santonio Holmes, Sidney Rice, or Braylon Edwards, they may look to Plaxico Burress. Pros: Burress is an absolute game-changer, and at 6'-5", he has theMcNabb will still have to move some cash off the table if he wants to play in Minnesota … or anywhere else.
He's got a $10 million option bonus that would kick in this year, and he'd be due over $10 million in base salary and escalators in each of the next four seasons. For the Redskins, who acquired McNabb from the Philadelphia Eagles just last season, the move allows the father-son team of head coach Mike Shanahan and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan to forge ahead with their new quarterback plan — the plan which involves the two-pronged attack of John Beck(notes) and Rex Grossman(notes). (pause for hysterical laughter). Done yet? Okay. For the Vikings, McNabb gives them a good placeholder as they bring first-round quarterback Christian Ponder(notes) along. McNabb is very familiar with the
West Coast offense run by offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave, and Ponder can learn a lot from the veteran without all the ancillary drama brought about by a return to the B***t F***e saga. height necessary to be the target receiver in the end zone that the Redskins hav ebeen missing for years. Burress averaged 1,076 yards and 10 touchdowns in his last three full seasons with the New York Giants. Cons: Burress hasn't played an organized football game since 2008, missing the last two seasons while spending time in a New York prison. No one knows what kind of shape he will be in. Burress will be 34 at the start of the NFL season, which is far past the prime age for wide receivers.
