Redskins acquire Jabar Gaffney.
In exchange for DE Jarmon. Per Adam Schefter.

119 for 1607 two seasons as a third receiver so yeah he's still in the league. That for Jarmon who was a Cerrato pick and a bad fit isn't too bad.

We have a TE that isn't too far off those numbers.
and He did it in ONE season.
But really....I'm impressed with this new Skin passing attack. There is an abundance of WR talent there now and 2 excellent options at the QB position to pull the trigger.
They are a definite Top 5 passing attack with all those top level offensive weapons.
I haven't even started talking about the excellence of the current OC.....Pure Genius !!!!!!
The future is bright in DC Kudos.

We'll see. Stallworth and Clemens probably won't make the final 53 and even though they hindered it with the McNabb mess, it's still a process they have to stick to. I've seen this movie before though. Have a laugh at the Redskins in August, cuss out your own team in November.

So I guess the new thing the Redskins like to do now (after grossly overpaying free agents by the bushel) is constantly get lesser compensation for players that they paid quite high prices to bring in in the 1st place?

The McNabb trade essentially now means they skipped the 2010 offseason. If they would have approached that one like they did this one, they'd be in a much better place right now.

Redskins SS LaRon Landry still has achilles issues ?
Roto
Redskins SS LaRon Landry sat out team drills Friday due to lingering issues with his left Achilles tendon.
Landry underwent shockwave therapy and platelet rich plasma therapy to aid the healing process, but the Redskins are still easing him in. Although Landry is downplaying the cautious approach, beat writer Rich Campbell calls it "a significant red flag" and an "inauspicious start" after seven months of rest.

KFFL: Redskins: A model of futility
KFFL: Redskins: A model of futility
If you are a Washington Redskins fan, you might want to stop reading now… Please. Do yourself a favor and turn away. KFFL colleague Cory Bonini opined yesterday that the 'Skins have passed Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders as the worst run organization in the sport. And I wholeheartedly agree.
Seriously, can you argue against that?
Owner Daniel Snyder is quickly trying to erase his fan base's disappointment after a dismal 6-10 season a year ago, but it won't be easy. 2010 was a complete failure, after the flops of Donovan McNabb and Albert Haynesworth.
The 'Skins grossly overpaid for McNabb's services when they acquired him from the Philadelphia Eagles last year; Snyder tossed $78 million at the then 33-year-old QB for five seasons. He ended up being benched twice and throwing for more interceptions (15) than touchdowns (14).
Snyder made another fat mistake by agreeing to a 10-year, $100 million pact to lure Haynesworth away from the Tennessee Titans a year earlier. The 6-foot-6, 335-pound out of shape D-lineman was a monumental bust in DC. He made just 16 tackles last year in eight games and sat out the end of the year due to a dispute with head coach Mike Shanahan.
McNabb gone, but what now?
Bringing in Shanahan to lead the team looked like a good move initially, but that also turned out to be a mirage. Shanahan's back-to-back championship years with the Denver Broncos in the late '90s inflated his value as a head coach. John Elway and the personnel on those Broncos' teams made Shanny's job easy. Poor drafts and roster decisions by Shanahan in the following years led to his firing and put the Broncos in rebuilding mode.
His true colors as a head coach came out last year in Washington, while squabbling with and mismanaging both McNabb and Haynesworth, the two highest paid players on the team. Just goes to show that Snyder's bad decisions don't end with the players he has decided to bring in, and overpay for to do so.
As previously mentioned, the 'Skins are trying to turn over a new leaf and weed out the problems that plagued their '10 campaign; McNabb and Haynesworth have both been traded.
Kellen Clemens, Santana Moss (re-signed), Donte' Stallworth and Jabar Gaffney (trade) have all been key acquisitions. Overspending continues, though; Stephen Bowen agreed to a five-year, $27.5 million pact, with $12.5 million guaranteed.
To keep up with the frenzy of free-agent signings over the weekend and into next week, stay glued to KFFL's Hot Off the Wire services.
In the end, the Redskins are unlikely to be competitive this year after being set back by the McNabb and Haynesworth debacles. They won't start turning things around until either Snyder leaves or he starts being more efficient with his moves.
Perhaps Snyder should take a look at the way the New England Patriots run their organization. They took Haynesworth off their hands, and if they can get any kind of productivity out of him, Washington will look even worse. Haynesworth is a problem child, but so is Chad Ochocinco, who the Pats also traded for. Randy Moss was, too, but that seems to have worked out fine for them.
In the NFL, you can't throw big money at players and expect them to immediately solve your team's needs. New England has become successful by stock piling draft picks, spending their money wisely and efficiently and finding value where other teams don't see it. Kinda sounds like sage fantasy football advice, too.
