The Facts:
Griffin can't wait to work with his new weapon, DeSean Jackson. He also recognizes an offense that looks good on paper must still prove itself on the field. Griffin, on business in Los Angeles, told ESPN.com in a text message that he and the Redskins are excited to have Jackson on the team. "I understand his drive and competitiveness to win," Griffin said in the text message. "Always doing it for his dad and now doing it for this city... Our team and this city will be there for him."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jackson and the Redskins agreed Tuesday night to a three-year contract. Griffin spoke with Jackson before his visit to Washington on Monday and said he got a sense of what the former Philadelphia Eagles star was all about. ... Since the end of a 3-13 season, the Redskins have added a quarterback-friendly coach in Jay Gruden and two new receivers in Jackson and former Cardinal Andre Roberts. They combine with promising young TE Jordan Reed as well as receiver Pierre Garcon, who led the NFL with a franchise-record 113 catches last season. Griffin, too, should be better after a full offseason of work rather than rehabbing his knee. "It's an exciting time to be a Redskin fan and a part of this team because the firepower that we have with all our guys," Griffin said in the text message. "Everyone needs to understand that we haven't won anything yet and these next few months will be about building those bonds and chemistry so that we can." Fantasy football owners will be watching this offense closely in coming weeks -- and with good reason.
