Wide Receiver Receiving

If you ever tune in to ESPN for more than 5 seconds than you already know. Coles is now our ex-wide receiver, and Jet's Santana Moss is on his way to take his place. I personally like the way this trade worked out for us; Coles didn't want to be here and Moss is just as good if not a better receiver. Moss has speed and allusiveness, two great assets to have in a wide out. In a press conference, Moss stressed that he's a team player; exactly what Joe Gibbs needs and what Cole was lacking.
The Skins have really made some big changes at the Wide Receiver position this off-season. In addition to the big trade mentioned above, Rod Gardner has been given the go-ahead to seek a trade. Skins have also picked up New England's David Patten. Patten has had a moderate success over the past couple of years with New England; moderate, mainly because of the depth that New England receiving core has. Patten is an athletic guy and should do well with the more direct role that Gibbs will be offering him this season. Let me know what you guys think about the moves we've made this off-season, leave some comments.
