I think we need to renegotiate contract with whoever we can Cooley, Hall anyone that can add more cap space.

Why? I thought we were in the top two or three in terms of cap space.

Yeah but I've got BIG plans for this team, if we're giving up all those draft picks for RG(3) then we need to hit FA hard.

I would say the only big draft picks we are going to lose in this trade up are our second rounder this year and our first rounder next year. Anything from the 3rd round on is a crap shoot in terms of success in the NFL. I think we can acquire two starting caliber FAs this year's and next year's offseason.

I wouldn't go all out on a contract for Landry. Yeah he's pretty good, but he's very replaceable, the only problem is that what, do you expect Gomes to be a starting SS? Do you think that OJ is even that good, because he played poorly last year. Really we need 3/4 of our secondary rebuilt SS, FS, and CB (Dhall).

The safety position has been a huge problem ever since we lost Sean Taylor. A healthy Landry and Atogwe would be fine, but Atogwe is getting older (will be 31 when the season starts) and who knows what will happen with Landry.

Despite of what people think, we could survive with the CBs we have now (it may be ugly though), but not with the Safety problems we have been having for a while. I would rather see the team spend money on a safety and adding depth at corner, than the other way around.

Although, I must say that an improved offense may even help us overcome some of the defensive deficiencies we had last season.

Perrish Cox got off his rape trial and is now an eligible free agent that can sign with whom ever. I bring this up because the redskins put a claim on him once denver cut him.

Re: Redskins: 2012 Off-Season-Free Agency/Trades
 

the FA safety crop this year is... not good.

Re: Redskins: 2012 Off-Season-Free Agency/Trades
 

So Gano and Kory L tendered, but not Westbrook

So the new Westbrook is probably Kevin Barnes. The new nickel corner is either Josh Wilson or a FA..

Our secondary is not organized. I bet we spend a few picks there if we dont trade picks.

Cap room doesn't mean you overpay guys for that aren't producing up to their salary. Do you think Bill Gates pays a janitor 400k a year? Nope. Why not? He has the money to do so if he chose. It's about doing smart business which is something we have long neglected. Cooley is going to have to restructure to stay, which I'm quite positive he will. He knows that Fred Davis is the #1 now, so he'll be a great guy coming off the bench or in the 2 TE set.

Ugh.. Barnes is the least athletic skill position player outside of Reed Doughty I've seen in a while. He's a stiff.

Yeah it looks like LL will not be here next season

That does not bother me at all.

I think we add a couple of CBs in FA and the draft. We got to hit on one.
