Haven't posted in awhile. Been traveling for work.
Based on where we are now in re the Trent Williams situation and the likelihood Doctson is going to continue to be a guy we have to carry I would make the following two moves:
1. Sign Donald Penn to nail down depth at OT for 2019. Trent will likely be back but even if he is there is no true #3 tackle on the roster. We could give Penn incentives in case he was asked to step in and start the majority of games at either slot.
2. Sign Pierre Garçon. TheRedskins receiving corps has some good younger pieces in McLaurin, Harmon, Richardson and Quinn but no one to lead them. Garcon is a guy that could be a role model in terms of prep and work ethic to the these players. He also has been one of the better blocking WRs in the league. At his age he should come on a reasonable contract and could give Haskins a reliable veteran safety blanket for Year 1.
Like Brian Mitchell I am not in favor of gifting roster spots to players strictly based on prior draft position and I think if this team is serious about being more competitive we need to be more cut throat with underachievers like Doctson.
Given his injury history and inability to separate from NFL defensive backs this would not be a hard decision for Bill Belichick.
