ESPN.com is reporting that Donovan McNabb is lobbying for the Redskins to sign free agent reciever Terrell Owens. This report is somewhat suprising as McNabb and Owens had a rather rocky ending to their time together in Philly. Although McNabb and Owens barely spoke to one another by the end of the 2005 season, the duo had a great deal of sucess during their brief stint in Philadelphia. In Owens’ first season as an Eagle, the team reached the Super Bowl and Owens and McNabb each had arguably their best season as a pro, despite Owens missing the final two games of the season due to a broken ankle.

Owens and McNabb reportedly talked about reuniting during a filming of the Spike TV show “Pros V. Joes” in the early spring. While the move would bring on a ton of media attention and scrutiny, the Redskins undoubtedly need a big play wide reciever. The Redskins ranked towards the bottom of the NFL in touchdowns from wide recievers. Even though Devin Thomas started to come into his own towards the end of last season, the Redskins could surely use another big wide reciever. If they were to sign Owens, a trio of Santana Moss, Devin Thomas and Owens is an upgrade over the reciving corp of recent years.

If you take a look at Donovan McNabb’s career, he seems to be a top level quarterback in the NFL. Not to knock on Jason Campbell or anything but I see McNabb helping the Redskins reach the playoffs this year. I know it is early and the season has not started but on paper the team looks strong. With the addition of Larry Johnson and Willie Parker, the running back spot looks top notch. The receivers look to be in good shape and you can never complain about their tight end core.

The one area I think needs work would be the offensive line. If they work a little harder during the off season I believe they can be at a level that can help them succeed this season. It is not always about getting new players, sometimes you just have to work with what you have and make those players better.
