Who should we go for in Free Agency?

A comparison:

D.JAX
2010 PHI 14
2011 PHI 15
2012 PHI 11
2013 PHI 16
2014 WSH 15
71/80 = 89%

BULAGA
2010 GB 16
2011 GB 12
2012 GB 9
2013 GB 0
2014 GB 15
52/80 = 65%


J.LONG
2010 MIA 16
2011 MIA 14
2012 MIA 12
2013 STL 15
2014 STL 7
64/80 = 80%

To the folks who want to spend $8-9M on Bulaga, I get it. RT is a position of need on which we have skimped in the past. If BB can stay injury free, having him as a bookend to and backstop for TW would be worth some good coin.

My biggest concern is his injury history. Two years ago, the Rams paid big bucks to a former 27 year old first round pick with an injury history. Yesterday, with the guy rehabbing an ACL, and the Rams facing a big cap hit and they cut him. Their replacement, the second pick of last year's draft.

If they sign Bulaga, so be it. I think they should give Moses the chance to develop. With McCourty off the table at safety (the position where I would be willing to overspend), I am not adamantly opposed to paying BB. I just would not be thrilled either.

You're right to urge caution due to Bulaga's injury history. I like him as a player but what I really want is improved play at RT from anyone. I think we need better protection for our young QB's in 2015 so we can better evaluate them. We have some decisions to make about the QB position prior to the 2016 season.

So I'm thinking that signing an older FA RT or making a trade for an older RT would be OK as a short term band-aid. I'm OK with Compton as a awing tackle but, unlike you, I'm not optimistic about Moses developing. That's why I'd like to see the Redskins draft another young OT if they pick up a veteran.

is NOT enough. You don't spend 8mil/yr on a guy that oft injured. When good teams pass up on their own players, it should tell you something. Follow their lead.

Bro, who the F are you talking about?

Long has been a durable player in his career, 2014 was the only season he missed significant time.

I definitely would not advocate for 8M per year on him but you can take a look, for sure.

I'm talking about Bulaga, not Long. I wouldn't pay Long but vet min with incentives.

Nevermind, my bad.

Reading is fun-damental.

i just wish we had more cap space to give it a try with bulaga if stays injury free we hit the jackpot and now we have two very good tackles for the for the future, maybe we should give barksdale a look from the rams

I like Stefen Wysniewski, Cecil Shorts, Searcy the S from Buffalo and Jordan Cameron.

new name, a sleeper

anyone interested in cutting Perry Riley ?

You guys have to remember SM is not a free agency guy. He said that the day he was hired. Thank god those days over. We're not going to be spending big money on guys like Bulaga, Iupati or Suh. If he was here last year I doubt we even sign Jackson. He's building a team and has a plan. It's going to take time but I'm fine with it. The other way sure as hell didn't work. We know that already....

I think he still signs Jackson if he was here last year. Not a FA guy doesn't mean you pass on Jax in his prime.

As someone put it on Twitter, Scot McC is not going to sign free agents to win the Super Bowl, but he's going to sign free agents to make the team respectable while he builds through the draft.

I'm fine with spending some money on young (mid 20s) free agents in the offensive and defensive lines that can come in and make those units much better than they were in previous years.

This team has become too dependent in skills positions and has often overlooked or made bad FA agent/draft acquisition in the trenches.

The team has a lot of young players to develop, between the players we have and the ones we'll acquire through the draft.

here is a name at right tackle that might not have to big of a price tag and is pretty good and talented, barksdale the RT from the rams any idea on him ?

barksdale seems to be in our price range. is he an upgrade over compton though?

I am interested in the raiders center wiesenkies (spelling?)

bring in some under 30 guys for the right price.

i just want a bunch of avg production guys w potential to improve at reas price (nothing over 3-4 mil per).

No contracts effect/handcuff future cap 2-3 years from now.
