bottom line is: there are more quality defensive free agents than offensive at this point. I'm sure we'll see the market flood with quality OL as teams purge bad contracts so we could get lucky.
If we sign defensive players through FA we can use our draft picks for the offense. If we went OL with the first two picks (there's two more starters...probably.) leaving us with only one spot to fill and I'm sure there will be someone we can sign.

Daniel Snyder loves to spend big money on big names. So I fully expect him to sign Peppers, Dansby, and Rolle. Offensive line be damned.They're still having the NFL Draft this year, right? One of the big issues often mentioned here is "our OL sucks, we never addressed it in the draft".
Cerrato's gone, Snyder's given the keys to the kingdom to ShanaAllen. Let's give them a little bit of a chance (even if they switch us to a 3-4 :)).

I want to hear some chatter about us signing the top free agent offensive lineman that's all. Defense should be the least of our concerns right now since our biggest problem is consistently scoring.

It's looking like Rolle is going to stay with Cardinals; they are trying to restructure and extend Rolle's contract, based on this source..

Hmm, while the reports of Peppers not giving 100% is concerning, isn't he a 'Skins fan? Maybe all he needs is a change of scenery.

I would love to see Sproles in a Redskins uniform before Peppers.

Sproles and Dansby are the most interesting "top tier" free agents to me. If we overspend for anyone, it should be Dansby. we need linebackers.

if we're going to move fast, i'd want to lock up dansby first. I wouldn't mind waking up saturday morning and hearing it's a done deal.

So what FA OL is there right now? I know GB's, but I think they locked him up (could be wrong). It's just that the top FA's are on defense, just our luck ... DN's point was dead on, if we fill the D holes, even with short term FA contracts, that lets us focus our draft even more on OL. We want our FO to be considering all of the options and available players to improve the Skins whole team.
