Washington Redskins adds to WR's depth with Michael Floyd and Breshad Perriman

ASHBURN, Va. – The Washington Redskins added two former first-round picks to the receiver on Monday after missing their exchange with Josh Gordon, signing Michael Floyd and agreeing to an agreement with Breshad Perriman, according to several sources.

Floyd, Arizona's 13th pick in the 2012 repechage, played 11 games with Minnesota last season and was cut by New Orleans this summer. He has captured 242 assists in five years with the Cardinals and has 256 in total.

He was suspended for the first four games of 2017 following an extreme DUI in December 2016. He was also arrested for impaired driving in 2011 while he was in Notre-Dame.

While Floyd was sometimes productive in the Saints' camp, coach Sean Payton told reporters, "I want to see his weight go down."

Perriman, the 26th pick in 2015, struggled in Baltimore due to injuries and a lack of productivity in the field. In 27 games in three seasons with Baltimore, Perriman has captured 43 passes for 576 yards and three touchdowns. The Ravens have cut it this summer.

Perriman is considered a quick receiver, having sprinted from 4.27 to 40 yards on his Pro Day in 2015. But he suffered many injuries, including a partially torn PCL that left him out of his season recruit. A partially torn ACL deprived him of his second training camp. He missed the 2017 pre-season with a thigh injury.

He has also struggled with declines, having been credited with eight since 2016 according to ESPN Stats & Information. While other receivers had more declines during this period, only one of them, Demetrius Harris of Kansas City, had fewer receptions.

The Redskins need the help of the receiver, which is why they discussed an exchange with Cleveland for Gordon, reported Adam Schefter. Gordon joined the New England Patriots on Monday.

Washington already has two receivers on the injured reserve of Trey Quinn and Cam Sims. Another substitute, Maurice Harris, missed the first two games with a concussion. Paul Richardson, the only other receiver, played Sunday with a bad shoulder that he believes could persist.

The Redskins receivers had 18 catches for 173 yards and no points in the first two games combined.
