2013 Free Agents

We can get WR in free agency, all we really need is 1 more IMO. Fred Davis return will be huge and adding one more lineman would be nice.

On def. We need a lot lol

yea well i was too lazy. They all would be new players and that is the main point. A silly criticism of redskins news.

HOGS!!

Haha, its all good man. The Amerson comment is just a tidbit I heard some scouts say; he could still be a CB.

The defensive side of the ball is going to be interesting in terms of FA and the draft. Just take a quick look of the starters;

DE--Carriker, Jenkins
DT--Cofield, Neild(?), Baker(?)** [Don't see us keeping 2 NTs, one who's healthy, one who's coming off a torn ACL.]
DE--Bowen

OLB--Kerrigan, Rob Jackson(?)**
ILB--Riley, Robinson
ILB--Fletcher(?), Lorenzo**
OLB--Orakpo**

CB--Wilson, Crawford, C. Griffin**(?)
FS--Gomes(?)
SS--Doughty, Meriweather (?), Bernstein (?)
CB--Minnifield(?)

** means FA to be
(?) are the questionable guys

I didn't include Hall, I think he's gone. Meriweathers on a 2 year deal but he's coming off a torn ACL, so he can't be counted on. Cedric Griffin was ok for us this year, but he can easily be upgraded. Bernstein blew up his knee not even into the first game of last year and was a 7th rounder, so he'll probably be cut. Gomes played less this year, he can be upgraded, and he was a liability at times in coverage. Minnifield didn't even play this year, but you all expect big things from him next year.

Fletcher may retire. Rob Jackson is a FA who had some big games for us down the stretch this year, does he return as a backup or starter, should we try to trade Orakpo for picks and get another Pass Rusher high in the draft. Lorenzo is a FA, but he and the redskins want to work out a deal he said.

The only question really on the DL is if we keep both Neild who is coming off a torn ACL and Baker who played some solid snaps for us this year, but isn't the pass rush threat that Neild is. I didn't even bother with Golston and Worthington and all the other backup DE's. They were bad, so I can see us drafting a couple of DEs and maybe getting a FA there.

My solution

Priority 1 get Jarius Byrd. He's franchised,
Priority 2 get Goldson from San Fran (not likely to be franchised twice)

FS is solved. (You draft Swearinger from South Carolina or Amerson from NC State for depth)

SS draft it

Priority 3 is Brent Grimes the CB from Atlanta. (Draft a CB high and a CB/returner low, Honey Badger comes to mind)

Priority 4 is a pass rush threat that can be either a 3-4 OLB or 3-4 DE, like a Margus Hunt, in the draft, FA wise though I'd go after a Jason Jones of Seattle as a 3-4 DE, or a Phillip Wheeler of Oakland as a 3-4 OLB (He was a DE in college)

Im lost on what positions we need pass rushers at?

Rak and Kerrigan on the outside(Jackson depth). Carriker and Bowen at DE with Jarvis Jenkin depth. NT Coefield. ILB Riley and Fletch (Robinson/Lorenzo rolling in a benzo are depth).

I guess you could focus at depth for NT and possibly DE? Rak and Kerrigan are well established pass rushers and Carriker is solid as well...you need more of a defender/run support at ILB in the 3-4.

Where do you add pass rushers at? Sub out Bowen for a pass rusher on 3rd down possibly???

I want the Redskins to sign that guy Jarius Byrd. He's a ball hawking free safety that will definitely improve our secondary.

I would like to say thank you for putting together such a good Redskins site . I love the Washington Redskins ! I have been a fan of them for over 25 years ! Warpath is a perfect name! my opinion on Free Agency. I've seen people other places saying we need a entirely new secondary. I disagree. I do think we need to sign a good corner maybe Rodgers-Cromartie? I think coming to the skins would make him better, this team has grown into a high character bunch because of coahes and the attitude they have brought in. That would also make Wilson our 3rd corner and improve our depth, and Safety isn't that weak especially if we keep Merriweather, I think the guy has a ton left in the tank, judging by his 1/2 of football. I do not think they will keep Jackson, so we need to go get someone there 2. It doesn't have to be a brow bowler. We should spend our money on a guy like ARC. but What of the TE position. I think we should sign Paullson for blocking duties , but what of Fred? Will they think about going after something? RG III needs another weapon on offense, I would like to see it come in the form of a playmaking WR . maybe a Mike Wallace or a Greg Jennings . If we did I think Garcon would really get freed up more. to go along with Aldrick,Hankerson,and Morgan and Moss. I think it's time to cut ties with Banks and Briscoe

10 catches vs LSU
11 catches vs Bama going against what probably will be the first corner taken in the draft...
hopefully this man has a bad combine.

good point! it would be a good pick, good numbers against future NFL players. We need another playmaker

Haha, I like that! It should be included in the forum rules section...

I wouldn't mind seeing him in the B&G either. Young and fills a need.

Gimme Pacman & Chris Clemons!
