I think its been talked about in the 2009 FA thread as thats what it happens to be for. Did a new thread really need to be started?

Dude, I've tried that already, there's no way to win. People just don't read, and start their own thread and you have the same subject being discussed in three different threads.

To answer the title of this thread "Orlando Pace has been cut what do you think"...
I think that means he's out of work. Seriously, I would pass. The Redskins have enough players on the wrong side of 30. We need a youth movement here in the worst way...draft an OT in the first round (or trade down and get more picks).

No... OT talent is deep in this year's draft, with 6 or maybe 7 taken in the first round. There will be more "cuts" like Pace but w/ few questions/concerns. Levi Jones is a guy to keep our eyes on depending on what Cinci does w/ their 1st round pick.

Oh my it's the THREAD POLICE, I apologize please forgive. I don't feel like reading through 60 pages.

If we sign him and decide not to draft an OT high, then an emphatic NO. We cannot keep putting off getting young O-line replacements (for Jansen next year etc...).
We have to start addressing the o-line now starting with RT this year, which means we could phase out Jansen next year with replacement already acclimated to the system etc... Getting Pace means we go LB/DE @ 13, pushing back the replacement timetable for our o-line which could literally fall apart in 2010 if left unaddressed.

is it any better to sign a 36 year old daniels coming off a major injury and continue to get older at the DE's? i say signing pace to start is better than signing daniels to start, imo. DE or OLB in the draft first round

How shitty are we that we have to resort to picking up rejects from the Rams? What is wrong with you people?

Um no, all you had to do is read one page in the 2009 Free Agent thread to see Orlando Pace being discussed. Not to mention the fact that right now we don't know whether Pace would be interested or be someone our team could afford (or should bother to sign).

The FO is not signing Pace no matter what for the time being... maybe after the draft as things shake out but I highly, highly doubt it.

Oh boy. Here comes the Orlando Pace thread....
You asked for it GMScud. I think he's too old.
I knew it was coming!! I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier.
Anyway, I'll pass. He's old and both of his knees are bad. I'd rather get younger than bring in yet another injury prone lineman on the wrong side of 30 (I feel like I say at least once a week around here). Like I said in the FA thread, he can probably prolong his career if he switches to RT, and that's just what we'd use him for, but IMO we don't need an aging, oft injured stop gap.
