I am pumped to see Thomas get after it this year.

[quote=Mechanix544;1062978]The field is getting rather thin at FS. I just can't believe that we wouldn't lock up Mitchell at a little over 5 mil per year, the guy is really good. His missed tackles could have been coached up (see DeAngelo Hall the past 2 seasons). Maybe we are going to roll with Phhilip Thomas, Merriweather and our 2nd round pick as a safety? Or some combination of that?[/quote]

Or maybe the Offense is top 5 again and we can worry about Safety next year. Teams that suck in Pass D go far all the time as long as they excel elsewhere. If the Skins go anywhere next year, it's going to be because of the potency of their Offense. They're not going to become the 49ers, Panthers or Seahawks on D in a single off season no matter who they sign.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

If we can sign Corey Graham, DeAngelo Hall could be moved to FS. He is a playmaker with range and a smart vet who could QB the defense. Good corners have moved to safety late in their careers and played very well there. Hall has said that he'd be open to playing the position.

PhillipThomas is going to surprise some people when he becomes the starter at SS.

I'm just hoping that the Skins won't let Corey Graham and Antonio Smith get out of town without signing them to contracts. I thimk they are both good players who fit our needs.

Talib to the Broncos, I think

yes, $57 million 6 years, and $26 guaranteed

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

This could be a crazy thought but maybe the Re dskins are willing to see what they get out of Rambo and Thomas before throwing 10mill at a safety

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Ward and Talib with Ware on the way. Guess the realized how shitty that defense was.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Im actually really disapointed in FA day1 ill be honest. Few resignings, few special teamers, and possible replacement/backup for OL? Wtf was Allen doing today.. playing golf while Mitchell was being signed by Pitt or what???? If we have the same secondary were fkd.. corey graham mark my words isnt the answer. Smh.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

The skins are being smart by not over paying some of these FA, like John Keim says there are some big contracts coming up next year (RGIII, Williams, Garçon, Morris) don't want to shoot your load and end like Dallas next year.

I got ya.. im back in the loop lol

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

I believe it's reflective of what they are trying to do and what most fans have been screaming for in years past: Grow your own.

21-23 players (out of 27 picks) from the last four drafts are likely to be on the day 1 roster. Not all of them are splashy. Not all of them are stars, but if the roster culture is going to change we are going to see more of these types of UFA day 1's.

What has to happen now is twofold: (1) Young players need to step up; and (2) the team needs to win. If they can do those two things, chasing after big UFA's to fill real roster holes will stop and UFA will become a time when we pick up an upgrade here or there.

if you want to build from within, you gotta give the guys that are "in" a chance to develop and not churn through the back end of the roster while you overpay for guys who may or may not pan out. Even that's true of the younger guys, at least you aren't wrecking your salary structure over imports. (i.e. if Riley regresses and we need to cut him, it simply is not going to cause a whole lot of cap pain).

soo the broncos had roughly 16 million under the cap but landed Talib and are the favorites to get Ware......how does that work?

It's 2011 all over again. Except maybe this time they'll play.

I doubt Ware is going to command big money.
