Washington Redskins Head Coach, Mike Shanahan must have had some reservations about his young wide outs during the Skins first minicamp because the Redskins immediately signed two veteran wide outs in the form of Joey (9-route) Galloway and Bobby Wade.  Galloway played on more teams than I can remember and his only notable attribute was his speed.  Galloway’s toughness and willingness to go over the middle has been in question since he’s been in the NFL. Santana Moss is faster and definitely more productive so it makes one wonder why Galloway is here.

Bobby Wade comes to DC from the Kansas City Chiefs where he had 36 catches and 2 TDs. He is 5’10 and 186 pounds so the Redskins appear to be stocking up on little guys for some reason.  What this tells us is that both Shanahan’s want more experience at the receiver position.  This also means that Terrell Owens may not be as out of the equation as we have been led to believe. Stay tuned..
