SRivRoc Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just saw from Adam Schefter's last tweet that Doug Marrone, buddy nix and Doug Whaley where all in Washington last night having dinner with the guy. He was good last year before an Achilles injury but wouldn't mind bringing him in if he were cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsonparade Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 $5.4 million last year , Davis tore his Achilles tendon in game 7. I would vote no A) why does it matter how much he made in DC? More power to the guy. B - he's a better receiver than blocker. His 13.5 yards a catch was top 10 at the position in the NFL last season. He's also one of the more elusive tight ends, ranking in top 15 in tackles missed. Yes, those are stats, and unless you watch him, these probably wont change your opinion, but these stats I think carry more weight than a 24 reception, 325 receiving yard stat line in 7 games, tho he did have a 59, catch 796 yards with John Beck and Rex Grossman throwing the football.

Kirby Jackson Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 He was on my list at the start of FA...I like it a lot and he would be a nice addition in a spot of need. A low risk high reward player. I would be 100% for this move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I know its a good move and I would be happy about it, but I'm not too ecstatic about it... Maybe its cuz I just woke up or maybe It's cuz I'm wondering who the Hell will throw him the damn football... I would much rather fix holes in the defense through FA at this point but I definitely won't be upset with acquiring Fred Davis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Its a positive development. We need a TE. We'll find someone to throw the ball to him. The more reliable targets our new QB has the better. I'm in the git er done camp on this one. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCOHEN13 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just saw from Adam Schefter's last tweet that Doug Marrone, buddy nix and Doug Whaley where all in Washington last night having dinner with the guy. He was good last year before an Achilles injury but wouldn't mind bringing him in if he were cheap. He would be a very solid mid level pick up as long as we dont over pay and keep deal 2 , MAX 3 yr (hopefully the 3rd being a team option). Would fit in nicely assuming he and Chandler are healthy. 2 very different style TE's. Chandler has decent hands along with great size but YAC is not a forte of his. Davis has more speed and considering how so many TE;s are split out nowadays, he suits that role nicely. Signing up as well as a WR would be excellent news prior to draft and keep our options alot more opened coming draft day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Encouraging info, but those achilles injuries are really bad news. They need their medical staff to clear him and to see him working out, running, catching passes before spending money on someone with that kind of injury.

Kelly the Dog Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I'm fully on board with this idea. Give him a good but not great contract for 3-4 years but without a huge signing bonus, which he is not going to get anywhere because of the injury. If he is not back you just release him after a year or two. But well worth the risk. He would be an interesting player on a team with CJ and Stevie and a speed WR. If Chandler comes back we could play a lot of two TEs, and the defense would never know if we were going to line up in a run offense or pass offense. he's not a great blocker but he can move around and play an H back role, which Marrone likes. I'm definitely in favor of this and worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Definitely high risk/reward. He has only stayed healthy for 2 of his 5 seasons and the Achilles injury is a major red flag. It could possibly be low risk/low reward too. In that scenario, the Bills give him a contract commensurate with the facts of his serious injury and his less-than-sterling, off-the-field performance. I've read that the Redskins are very tight to the cap so it might not cost much to sign Davis. And then it's possible that because of the severity of the injury, Davis becomes another in a long line of players who never fully recovers from his achilles injury. In this scenario he would be low risk/low reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) He is a mismatch player on offense - a real difference-maker. While his injuries are a concern, he has steadily improved his skills every year since entering the league. Prior to his injury he was on the verge of a breakout year and at times looked uncoverable. Is still very young. Would also take a glaring need off of the draft program. Edited March 24, 2013 by Coach Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEFEFFER Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Actually he'd be a high risk, high reward player. Unless he was a low paid addition. Or maybe just a "high" player. Failing 4 drug tests, two after the lockout, sounds like a man with a drug problem to me. I'd really need to know the details before I could like such a move.

Lurker Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Rag arm. "Davis insisted that he complied with the terms of the court’s order but admitted he had been at nightclubs while Chaka was present. “It’s just, the city’s so small, you’re going to run into somebody,” Davis testified."
