Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

yeah, the money today is kind of nuts. i think holding off may be the smarter play. the lack of good FAs this year is making borderline players rich. it looks like the 3 i was interested in are gone now.

giants have done pretty well, which sucks. maybe some of these signings can backfire on them...

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

A truly weak year for FA in terms of quality. I'm glad we're not one of the ones buying B+ players for A money. We really need to hit on our draft again this year. A similar draft to last year would really give us a great foundation. Once you have you can add a piece here and there to shore up spots.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

Im happy with our signings thus far. Going after our own guys and getting reasonable contracts. Im sure we'll add a few players here and there. I would like us to try to get Gilette back, but I agree his posts on twitter and the like have been silly. Someone asked if he'd take 3 years 12M and he scoffed. He hasn't played in two years and thinks he deserves more? I'd consider a contract full of incentives - prove you're back to playing form and you get the money!

Reese in NY is signing FAs like his job depends on it. Well, it most likely does. They've gotten some big name players. I think as skins fans we know how bringing in that many vets is difficult for continuity.

It'll be an interesting year but I like our strategy.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

So a quick rant, so allow me to get on my soapbox:

ESPN980's focus on RG3 this week has been pretty pathetic in my opinion. I didn't catch the show when Cooley took his parting shots at RG3; but I tried to listen today hoping to hear some news about free agency and whatnot, and it was just horrible. From RJF going on the show to berate Cooley to people calling in to do the same, it was just terrible.

I know controversy gets ratings, but come on, get the f*ck over it! I honestly feel Cooley just said this to get this controversy going and keep talking about this guy. I mean come on, talk about something else, talk about the FA signed, the upcoming draft, hell, even talk about the Giants shopping spree.

:soapbox:

The key with all the contracts is guaranteed money / bonus / cap hit..... three years 12M might be possible depending how it is structured. Otherwise bye, bye, Junior.

FYI reportedly Roberts can not be cut until he is healthy

So glad I don't live up there anymore, the sports media gotta be the worst in the country.


I agree with the RG3 smear campaign with him leaving, its so lame.


The same media and fans participating in it are the same folks who will be up in arms when RG3 says one thing critical about Washington when he moves on. RG3 ability to show restrain is amazing imo.

There was no smear campaign on the former player. If you want to discuss RG3, move to the other link. This is for current Free Agents not former players.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

I would like the Skins to sign Reggie Nelson to a short-term deal.

I'd also like to see a deal get done with Junior Gallette. Junior is wacky but he can rush the passer.

Beyond those two, I don't know. Perhaps Prince Amukamura could help us.

I'm really not expecting the Skins to achieve much in FA with all of the mad money some teams are throwing around. It's hard for a team to sign the FA's they would like to have and still be able to stay the course cap-wise and financially.

I am confident they will get a deal done with Junior Gallette.

[quote=Giantone;1140422]So far I'm liking this building up the D ,now we need a good couple of linebackers.[/quote]

I would be willing to bet that it won't work out. Total sign of desperation. We know better than anyone that going out and getting a bunch of free agents doesn't work.

Me too! This is what us Redskins fans have been asking for for years now.

Multiple reports Skins have shown interest with Reggie Nelson. Keim is saying no visit...yet.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports free agent Vernon Davis is visiting the Redskins on Thursday.

Redskins GM Scot McCloughan drafted Davis in San Francisco, but this is not a great fit.

yuck. guy was terrible with the Broncos. Hope we pass
