The Redskins completed a deal with the Jets that swapped receivers. Laveraneus Coles went to the Jets for Santana Moss Saturday, with the Redskins only paying 5 million of Coles bonus money. The day before (Friday), the Redskins signed David Patten to a three year deal. The receiving corps will look totally different come this next season. Rod Gardner is still seeking a trade, so no starting receiver will return for the Redskins. The Redskins do have depth at receiver with Darnerien McCants, James Thrash, and Taylor Jacobs fighting for the 3rd receiver spot. With the addition of Moss and Patten, the Redskins will be able to stretch the field and create more opportunities. The also signed center Casey Rabach to 13.75 million/ 5 year deal with a 2.5 million dollar signing bonus, which will solidify the line and give Patrick Ramsey the time to get the ball to his new receivers. The Redskins still need to sign a cornerback.
