Andre Roberts released by Skins

dep026 : 5/17/2016 9:14 am
worth a look? He was expected to make 5 million dollars this year so thats the reasoning behind his release.

Probably would be an upgrade over Harris as the 4th WR, and can be insurance if Cruz doesnt stay healthy, Shephard isnt ready.

I'd absolutely give him a look. He's been a productive player and only 27 I think.
Just a minor correction: Looks like Roberts was scheduled to make $4MM  
Big Blue Blogger : 5/17/2016 9:24 am : link
$5MM was his cap hit, including $1MM of bonus amortization. There's $2MM of dead money.

A smallish WR coming off a torn meniscus doesn't seem like a good fit. Even if healthy, he largely duplicates Dwayne Harris.
I'd rather keep Harris

Much better return man, and Roberts is coming back from an injury.
Also, while 28 isn't old...  
Big Blue Blogger : 5/17/2016 9:28 am : link
...his best football may very well be four years behind him, especially with a significant knee injury.
The guy I like is Jamison Crowder.  
Curtis in VA : 5/17/2016 9:29 am : link
I'd definitely give him a look if he were released.

Roberts isn't really that much different from Harris and Harris is already making a fair amount of money. I guess it would depend on whether he'd be inexpensive.
Washington is deep at WR...

Those who've complained about Eli Apple saying we should have gone with something we need haven't really considered the talent they've been accumulating over there.

We absolutely needed Apple to help us match up.
Pass

Smaller guy, coming off injury, not a significant enough potential upgrade to warrant the injury risk.

Harris is a lock for the 53. He was everything they could have expected him to be last year, and there's a lot of dead money on his contract.

Roberts would make sense on a one-year qualifying deal as an extra option in case other receivers fail or get hurt in August; but I doubt he'll be that cheap, even after flopping in Washington.
No

He has been really bad.

Has there been any mention of Washington possibly releasing Crowder? That would be bizarre.

Nope. I just meant that he's the only wideout on that team I really like. He seems poised for a big season. He's not going anywhere.
The Giants

are shying away from injured players and they should be!!!
Keep Harris  
HoustonGiant : 5/17/2016 11:26 am : link
he's proven he's tough, reliable, and a good returner.
No Thanks

What a disappointment this guy was for the skins.
I'm intrigued by some of these URFA they brought in

I'd rather let those guys fight it out.

Harris.
There is actually a pretty big void with Randle gone  
UberAlias : 5/17/2016 12:35 pm : link
You have Odell, of course, and then Randle, despite his flaws, had 800 yards and 8 TDs. Receivers beyond that? You have Harris who had 400 yards and 4 TDs. #4 among WRs was Miles White -7 catches for 88 yards. That is brutal.

I think you forgot a player or two.

brand new car. It still had a paper license plate on it. It was totally my fault. He was the nicest guy in the world about it, I felt so bad. Hope he lands somewhere good.

One slight difference between Roberts and Harris. Harris doesn't suck. There is a major chasm between their productivity. Also, why would DC get rid of Crowder? Very impressive rookie year.

Washington loves Crowder. Why would he be released?
