Stephen Davis

Here's a thought. What if the Redskins signed Stephen Davis for the veteran minimum for a 1 or 2 year deal? Does it make sense?

Yes, it makes sense because Davis is the perfect size back in the mold of Riggo. Yes, because having Davis retire with the Redskins would be a great ending. Yes, it makes sense because Ladell Betts is entering the last season of his contract. Yes, because Betts hasn't shown the durability that the Redskins have been hoping for. When both Portis and Betts are out, the Redskins have looked very vulnerable. Yes, because with Betts wanting a starting shot, he probably will not be around next year. And yes, because as lovable and good a special teams contributor Rock Cartwright is, he's not a viable option as the primary backup.

No, it doesn't make sense because Davis has a history of being injury prone himself. No, because all the backups need to prove to be useful in a special teams capacity. No, because this is no longer Gibbs' power back offense, it will be Al Saunders' fastest show on turf offesnse with Portis playing the role of Faulk. No, because the Skins should be grooming a young backup, not a 1 or 2 year solution.
