The Redskins got two relatively young (albeit overpaid) WR's who will grow with their potentially pro bowl QB. I don't see what's so confusing about that. Garcon is a burner who will stretch the field, Morgan is a solid 2 guy. They have 2 good TE's and still have Santana Moss to go along with a pretty solid running game and defense.
Chicago is well coached, and they needed a playmaker for Cutler badly. They still have that guy Forte, you know. Without this trade, which was a great deal if you ask me, they don't keep up with Green Bay and Detroit.
I don't know why Jackson went to Tampa. They already had a solid group of WR's. Hopefully Freeman continues to develop.
I actually like Garcon. Morgan has never had more than 52 catches and 3 TDs in a season and been hurt more than he has played. RG3 HAS to pan out for them, but right now I'm thinking 70/30 bust over Pro Bowler. Morgan's contract was only for 2 years. So by the time RG3 works out (if he does) Morgan would be leaving anyway.
They were 25th in the league in rushing offense though and only 13th in Defense.
I think Marshall to Chicago is a great deal for them. But the last thing I heard Forte wasn't signed, is he? And how is his knee? If he is signed, and ready to play, great. If not, I don't see Chicago keeping up with Green Bay or Detroit this year.
Freeman regressed a lot this year. But when your Quarterback's best attribute is how good a runner he is, you have problems.
My point is, unless you have someone that can throw the ball, spending millions of dollars and draft picks on receivers doesn't make much sense.
At least Chicago has someone to throw to Marshall.
