McVay helped Desean Jackson and Pierre Garçon more than Cousins

I also read that he helped the TE, Reed a lot.

i’d want garcon.

Rams tried to sign Garcon in 2012.

What a difference that would have made.

Nah, both Garcon and Jackson are headaches. I’d rather re-sign Britt and get a WR in the draft. Juju Smith-Schuster is the 4th rated WR (I read somewhere), so he might be available at the top of the 2nd round. He is plenty good.

Whose to say TA couldn’t be his Deshaun? I think TA is gonna get his shot now, the question is gonna be his hands…is he gonna catch enough to keep him in that position? I think yes.

Rams should target wide receiver DeSean Jackson in free agency

i just took several things from the article and posted them here.

Washington has two wide receivers eligible for free agency in the upcoming offseason: Jackson and Pierre Garcon.

Both are currently on the wrong side of 30. But it’s unlikely that Washington would re-sign both wideouts.

…

The market value for Jackson is $22.8 million over three years, for an average annual salary of $7.6 million (via Spotrac).

That’s comparable to the $6.7 million estimate for Kenny Britt, who is a free agent as well.

Jackson, however, is from Los Angeles and recently had over 1,000 yards while playing under McVay.

…

According to Pro Football Focus rankings, Garcon was the No. 8 overall receiver in the NFL this season.

Jackson received a grade of 77.0 — comparable with the New England Patriots’ Julian Edelman, the Cleveland Browns’ Terrelle Pryor and the Chicago Bears’ Alshon Jeffery. It’s higher than Britt, who received a 76.5.

ok. so yeah. one or both might be a pain in the ass. but i’m thinking about it, and this offense needs continuity. no. goff has not played with either of these guys.

but these guys played under mcvay. they know the offense. there won’t be confusion in what routes they should be running. they will know what to expect in minicamps and training camps. they can help goff learn the offense. they can work with him in the offseason when mcvay can’t. they can also work with the current rams receivers in learning the offense.

now do these guys want to go to an offense where basically they have to rebuild? who knows? they’re 30 years old. i don’t know that they would be in that mindset. having to teach younger guys when they might not even be around when the rams actually become successful. IF THEY EVEN ARE SUCCESSFUL.

I’m with you on this. It helps the transition having a couple guys that already know how to do things.

They might even fall under one or two of them pillars…..that ain’t bad!
