Redskins Would Like To Re-Sign Jamison Crowder
6 years agoThe Washington Redskins want to try and re-sign impending free-agent wide receiver Jamison Crowder, according to head coach Jay Gruden. The slot receiver has been a solid performer for the Redskins, but he has yet to live up to expectations and was injured for a big chunk of the 2018 season. Crowder caught 192 passes and missed just one game in his first three seasons and the coaches like his quickness out of the slot. “He's got great quickness in intermediate routes, can separate, has good hands, he's tough, he's physical in the running game,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. “There is really not anything that Jamison can't do. You look at his size and say he's little, but he plays big, so we have to try and get him back for sure." From 2015-17, Crowder ranked seventh in the league with 131 catches out of the slot, according to ESPN Stats and Information. The 25-year-old caught a career-low 29 passes for 388 yards and two touchdowns in nine games in 2018, but he did manage a career-high 13.4 yards per reception. With Washington's QB situation up in the air and with Crowder coming off a down year, his fantasy stock has fallen. However, he could be a value pick in the later rounds.
