- How dare they take my teams secret weapon (even if they did overpay him)
Next worse case scenario is if the Steelers sign Arrington - Let's hope that Arrington doesn't want to play at "home"

- Mark ... I'm with ya!
I was holding my breath, hoping beyond hope that Randal El would stay, but I also know that Pittsburgh wasn't about to raise his salary, either.
Good for him ... bad for us.
But here's the question of the day ... I have a keeper league, and have Randal El in my line-up. Should I keep him or not?
I have to say, I am NOT impressed by Mark Brunell.

- This is TERRIBLE news for us loyal Steelers fans!

- TELL me about it!!!
Even though his numbers for the season didn't reflect much of an impact, those of us who have watched the games throughout the year with great interest know exactly what he brings to the game.
This is a SAD day for Pittsburgh, indeed!

- Not such a sad day for Steelers' fans. As a receiver, Randle El is overrated, and the Redskins overpaid him big-time. Wait till Redskins fans see how many balls thrown in Randle El's area are intercepted.
This Steelers' blog has several posts analyzing El's pluses and minuses.
A new Steelers blog is pretty opinionated about it...

- First of all, these commenters miss the point.
Randal El may be one thing in a rushing offense. He may not have had much of an impact in Pittsburg.
But he was underutilized! We're going to run 4 WR sets next year (if you count Colley as the 4th) and we're going to have more speed than any other team out there.
Put this guy on the outside running decoy routes and put Cooley down the middle, and Moss will be open EVERY TIME.
And throw in Brandon Lloyd, who is ridiculously talented at making acrobatic catches...
The Redskins easily have the best WR in the NFL.
If they sign a decent pass rusher, we'll be almost everyone's Superbowl pick next year...

- Oh and he's also the best punt returner in the league. The Steelers can look forward to starting about 5-10 yards back on every drive next year!

- I've seen this every year in this area. Snyder is the champion of the off season - but it has yet to show up on the field. Last year they were relatively calm in the off season and actaully had a post season.
I'll have to put a wait and see on this Redskins team. Although I'm hoping for another Crash and Burn. It's just fun to watch everyone scracth their heads.
If you keep trying to sign your team via free agency, it won't work the majority of the time. But even a blind squirrel will find a nut. This might be Snyder's nut.

- Sure, Snyder has been the champion of the offseason in the past with no results, but that was before Gibbs. Skins have a rough start in his second reign and then there's a great offseason and look what happened? Once Gibbs got them all on the same page the team broke open.
Now they have most of the old pieces returning and a couple extras that can only make it better. Perhaps I'm being a little naive here, but I can't help but think that this is going to be THE team to deal with in the NFC East next season.

- Yes, but you still have Snyder. That is the thorn in the side of the once great franchise.
I'm not drinking the kool-aid. Your QB is either a year older or a first year starter. They should be better, but team to beat - I'm not convinced till I see it on the field.
Snyder thinks the of the Redskins, like the Dem think of education. Add more money and all your problems will be solved.
btw, enjoy that $35 to park at the game.

- OK, my first impression on reading this is, what's with all the friggin' Steelers fans?
All in all, I think these are good signings for the 'Skins. Did we need both Lloyd and Randal El? Probably not, though Randal El solves our return problems and hasn't ever really been an every down receiver.
The Archuleta signing is a good one, too. But we still need to address the D-line. Here's hoping that the Jets will take Ramsey and a 2nd-rounder for John Abraham.
