Skins get Lloyd, looking at Randel-El.

The Redskins went right to work addressing some of the glaring needs for the team as free agency opened up this weekend. The Skins signed WR Brandon Lloyd, the one shining light on an incredibly bad 49ers team, to fill the number 2 spot opposite Santana Moss. On paper (and the Skins always look good in March), this seems to be a great fit. Lloyd has a nose for the ball and is known for his ability to make spectacular catches. He also has the speed to take some of the pressure off Moss and open up the downfield game. If the Skins can pull Antawaan Randel-El as well, we'll be sitting pretty as Randel-El is not only a good possession receiver, but also a highlight reel kick returner. And after that very pretty option pass in the Superbowl, you gotta wonder what else he can bring to the table.

Since The Danny has got the jet, the limos, and his checkbook out and ready, it seems very possible that all the needs on offense, defense, and special teams will be met post haste. For all the Danny bashing that goes on, you gotta love an owner who views money as no object when it comes to getting players. Here's hopin'.

GO REDSKINS!
