Randy Moss and Plaxico Burress

Both would be outstanding players for a Redskins looking to upgrade its receiving corps. A potentially horrific situation for the rest of the league has either or those two signing with Philadelphia and lining up opposite Terrell Owens. However, the chances of that happening are slim to none based on the other players under Philly's salary cap. Both will be looking for huge signing bonuses.

From the personnel fit, though, neither Moss nor Burress is the kind of core Redskins player Gibbs preaches. Gibbs likes the hard worker, bust your butt kind of guy like a James Thrash or a Hines Ward. Laveranues Coles is definitely in that mold but he was severely limited this year by his injury. Moss and Burress are me-first players. On the flip side, Snyder has proven himself to make splash after splash in the free market arena. Clinton Portis isn't exactly the most selfless guy himself but is one that Gibbs stands behind. So there is certainly a chance (albeit remote) that either of them could end up with the Skins.

Very few rookie receivers have made huge impacts - Moss being the exception - so I am not keen on the Redskins drafting Mike Williams (who could have character issues) or Braylon Edwards (who doesn't stand out any more than his Michigan predecessor David Terrell). Rod Gardner has only proven himself as an inconsistent threat. One can see that Michael Westbrook had more talent than Gardner, it's too bad that Westbrook didn't dedicate himself in the off-season with a Jerry Rice-like work ethic to get better each day. Westbrook certainly had the potential but had two strikes against him - 1) injury bug, and 2) reliance on talent over hard work.
