Should the Washington Redskins sign Laveranues Coles?
[picappgallerysingle id="5637650"]
Should the Washington Redskins bring back and sign WR Laveraneus Coles. The New York Jets have released Laveranues Coles this afternoon and there is no doubt that the Redskins can use some veteran help at wide receiver. Coles played with the Washington Redskins from 2003-2004, recording 172 receptions for 2100 yards and 7 touchdowns. The Redskins look to start Santana Moss and Devin Thomas and have 38 year old oft-injured Joey Galloway on the roster.
I believe signing Laveranues Coles would be a wise move. It brings in a 32 year old veteran who has something left in the tank. You cannot depend on Joey Galloway at this stage in his career to last the entire season. Coles could assume the #3 wide receiver role as the Redskins continue to develop Anthony Armstrong.
Coles is already speculated to be heading to either Oakland or Minnesota, but it would be wise to contact his agent and just have him head on I-95 south and cruise right on into the Redskins camp tomorrow morning. This offense is going to need some weapons and while Coles is not the player he once was, he’s better than half of the receivers currently on the Redskins roster.

NO! he complained the last time he was here that he didnt get anough balls thrown his way when he was thrown at 100+ times and cought 90. hes a cry baby “me first” type of player. no thank you.
I disagree with Snyper. Lavernes may have complained at the end, but he was the hardest worker on the team and succeeded, though he played in a dysfunctional organization. He’d be a big upgrade over Galloway at this point in their careers. He’s much better at short routes and going over the middle than Galloway, which is what the team needs to get Moss and Cooley more space to work. Like Eric, I’ve been wondering why the Redskins didn’t bring him in the moment he was cut.
