Did you see his numbers from Reiss? Almost nothing. I guess that could mean a lack of interest but with his play on ST last year plus upside as a decent backup WR this is a great deal for us IMO:

Good deal for NE. He's on contract for two years, and I doubt they'll be cutting him at those terms. Washington really didn't do anything as a WR in 2007, so that's a good contract for a special teamer.

Yeah, I saw that and my first thought was I don't think Bill necessarily sees him as a potential #2 or #4 but maybe a potential #5 WR replacement heading into camp.

Yah i was waiting for someone to comment on his contract. Great great deal, especially if you consider what we paid him last year

Aiken's signing tells me they consider Washington at least a viable option at #4, and decent CJax insurance. I really think they are basically done at the WR position at this point, I'd considering bringing Troy back as slot backup for Welker. But I think you let Gaffney go at this point and see what Jackson can bring you. If he doesn't get snaps, he won't get better, and the guy's ceiling is a lot higher than Gaffney's.

Washington was a great WR in college...i just do not know why he has not panned out in the NFL

Don't be surprisd to see him starting opposite Randy Moss next season. Washington will get an opportunity.

Which is exactly why I think he wanted to stay in NE. Once a WR starts making less money and bouncing from team to team, it is a hard trend to turn around. Too much competition, too much influx of new talent each year from college.

This is where Belichick impresses me. It didn't matter that Stallworth was making big coin, Gaffney worked his butt off and got his chance. Not because Stallworth disappointed...just cause JAB earned it. I think Washington is convinced he has a chance to work his way back to a contributing receiver. He has already impressed Belichick with his play on ST.

While the money isn't through the roof, it still ain't bad. Washington went from underachieving disappointment in Cincy (on a team full of them) to a valued contributer for a model franchise. That has to be worth something to a player. And if not, they can go to Philly...

I'd be very surprised. He's never been a #2 in his life, and never made it to even #4 last year. We don't know if he has any chemistry going with TB either.

As much as love the Drafting of Chad Jackson...do we know what kind of player he'll be? I will take my chances with Kelley Washington who has very good Speed for a man his size. Washington was pratice player of the week quite a few times last year. I think he could be more than just Special Teamer.
