Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013 Part II

Is there any reason they can't offer a contract that is backloaded so this year is a small cap number and it grows next year(s)?

Yes that can be done, but the FO to their credit has avoided doing as much so the 18 mil penalty does not keep lingering.

I can hear Pashos saying in a Rodney Dangerfield voice, "I get no respect."

I got a feeling that if he is close to healthy he will win the job, and from some of the stuff I have read he should be a good stop gap for a year or more.

How many Right Tackles do we need on this team?

The question should be how many 30+ yr old tackle do we need? lol At this point other than the draft or someone taking a super low deal I think we are what we are at RT.

How many right tackles does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Right. Lets be done at RT, FO already brought their guys in with the early signings. Obviously they got a plan, lets let it play out.

Twelve:

One experienced veteran who knows the ZBS and becomes our starting RT for 10 more years (at vet min each year) to satisfy the dreams of the fans;

One rookie who knows the ZBS, starts game 1, has a pro-bowl season and becomes our starting RT for the next 10 years (at vet min each year) to satisfy the wet dreams of the fans;

One experienced veteran who has good name recognition, but is disfavored by the coaching staff to satisfy the raving idiot fans;

One experienced veteran who has a negative name recognition b/c of injuries, age or lack of starting experience, but is favored by the coaching staff, to actually compete for the position;

Two second or third year players to compete for a spot on the team as a developmental player for the future to satisfy the need for depth;

Four veterans of various ability and experience to be camp bodies and to compete for our "dear God help us all if he is starting" spot to satisfy the need for a body, any body, at the position;

Tyler Polumbus because his name rhymes with Columbus and that's just cool; and finally ...

Jabar Gaffney because he knows the system goshdagnabbit!

How many Right Tackles do we need on this team?

Answer: we need to try out as many Right Tackles as necessary to find one starter and one backup who can provide good pass protection for our Franchise Quarterback. If that number is two, fine. If that number is fifty six, so be it.

One reason I've been banging the drum for drafting Mike Gillislee of Florida as a Third Down Back is because he pass protects like Clinton Portis.

IMHO, there is no greater need on our football team than to provide the best possible pass protection for RGIII.

Loved Gillislee in college. Funny though that I never paid attention to his blocking. If what your saying is true though, I want him even more now.

I have a strong feeling Shanny just wants depth in camp and whoever comes out on top will get the job, the others will get cut. They will have a minimal cap impact since they were not top tier FA signees.
