Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Royal is expected to compete with backup Tim Euhus and Kevin Everett for Buffalo's starting job. It's worth noting the Redskins had hoped to keep the 6-4, 257-pound Royal, who had 18 of his 31 career catches in 2005 while mostly being used as a blocker. According to those who follow the team closely, Redskin officials didn't expect him to receive any overwhelming offer. It appears they thought wrong.
