Re: Current 2014 Free Agents
 

I hope we resign Rak and Perry Riley but I would not over spend to keep both of them. I love Rak but he needs to be more of a game changer against teams in the NFC East. We need drafted him and watched him develop so lets keep him and not let him go play for someone else. I do believe Riley can be replaced if he wants to much. I also think for the right price resign Brandon Merriweather to a 2 yr deal.

The cap adjustment, some restructures, and the fact that Jordan Gross retired gave Carolina the opportunity to keep the Greg Hardy.

As for the Redskins, the question is if they let Brian Orakpo who is the next option? I think that they will target Jason Worilds and Michael Johnson. MJ got it done when he played the OLB in the 3-4.

Here are some interesting comments by Charley Casserly on possible Redskins FA strategy:

Former Washington and Houston general manager Charley Casserly thinks that the Redskins are going to invest heavily on the offensive line when free agency starts, with “heavily” being used both literally and figuratively.

Appearing on the NFL Network on Friday morning, Casserly said that Robert Griffin III would benefit from improved protection as he tries to shake off his substandard 2013 season. He think that new head coach Jay Gruden would like to do something in free agency to help.

“If you think of Gruden in Cincinnati, they had a much bigger offensive line than what he’s inheriting in Washington,” said Casserly. “So they need to get bigger to be able to drop-back pass better.”

The numbers bear out Casserly’s statement. The lightest player on the Bengals starting line last year was center Kyle Cook at 312 pounds. It went up from there to tackle Andre Smith and guard Andrew Whitworth, both of whom are listed at 335. Trent Williams was the Redskins’ heaviest starter at 315 and the heft went down from there to guard Kory Lichtensteiger, who weighed in at 284.

If bigger is indeed better, the Redskins will have to hit the free agent market to bring in some fat boys.

“They don’t have a first-round pick so in free agency look for them to come roaring out of there in free agency for offensive line help,” said Casserly.

There seems to be little question that changes will be made along the line. Williams is the only starter who can be considered safe. We will see if Gruden and general manager Bruce Allen will made changes along the line gradually or if we are looking at three or even four new starters in 2014.

If LeRibust comes in 40 lbs overweight this year I hope Jay Gruden cuts his fat ass before he even has time to step off the scale.

Why? I wouldn't resign him to a 2 day deal.

Will his laziness and don't give a f&ckness end up benefiting him with gruden? That would be a hell of a story if he ends up starting and being decent.

I hope they go after Mack, Schwartz, and Collins.

I agree, how much will they cost ? Franchise tag is $11 million for O lineman

Mack won't be tagged, don't know what he is looking for though. Top 5 centers average 7mil APY.

5 years 32 million is what I am thinking.

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents
 

Outside Free Agents to Redskins possibly:

Alex Mack 5 years 32 million
Jairus Byrd 5 years 42 million
D'Qwell Jackson 4 years 20 million
Emmanuel Sanders 3 years 10 million

Byrd and sanders would be nice

Starting lean more towards Mitchell or Clemons than Byrd at free safety.
