Sure, if you don't count shot knees as a long term injury. How long has he been out of the league?

IMO great player, but we are looking for youth right now, Morris needs to match his DB's to our front 7 not the otherway around.

I agree with you. I would like to see QB/WR in the 1st and 2nd either one first. Then in the 3rd take a FS for Morris. New toy for Hilliard, new toy for Morris, last year was defense, defense, offense... maybe this year can be offense, offense, defense.

he would have to play the boundry corner and not nickle and if we cut Hall, Barber would demand a steep vet price to play here. Not the right move.

Well they linked it to an ESPN story. But it's not a story so much as Pat Yasinkas (the NFC South blogger) talking about the state of the Bucs and giving his opinion on what may happen with some of the players

IDK, we need more nickel guys and injury backups (for like Wilson)- would rather look at someone like William Gay from Pittsburgh or draft a kid in the lower rounds like Brandon Boykin.

I wouldn't even bring him in to be nickel corner. Thas nasty.

It could also lead to us having a Hen and Rooster backfield.

Lol 40 year old ronde? No thanks

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
 

He turns 37 in April, in a limited role who knows?

That said I think this so called rumor is pretty weak and is nothing more than someone connecting an available player to a former coach.

Actually if Raheem has a say in bringing some Tampa guys in I hope its Corey Lynch, been a fan of his since App State dude was the definition of 'ball hawk'.
Oh, and QB Josh Johnson.

Garcon is only an ok WR. The reason he looked as good as he did was because Wayne was on the other side and manning was throwing to him. I hope we don't try to go after. He's a number two WR who had a decent year.

Barber will not come here. Morris came here to learn how to teach the 3-4, not to install the tampa 2. Barber is a Tampa 2 zone coverage corner, hell he defined the position for the last 10+ years.

At least those WR's have an opportunity to know Manning's status before FA starts. I'm sure he'll string it out trying to get guys signed.

Could be the reason Irsay is now saying a conversation with Manning next week won't necessarily render a decision and might take until early March.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
 

I have guys I want in FA and in the draft, but for some reason I dont even care to speculate needs and wants until we have a QB in place. It just trumps everything else with decisions on personel at this time. Yeah i want some Olinemen, a couple new CB, a safety and a couple new WRs, but it just doesnt matter for some reason until we have a legit options at QBs.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
 

I can't wait for Manning to retire or be released and pick a team. That'll either settle our QB situation or refocus it off him.

Trent Dilfer: Peyton Manning to Redskins ‘very realistic’
By Dan Steinberg

Another day of questions about Peyton Manning’s future, another day of pretty vague references to Washington that are good enough for a blog post.

This is all from ESPN’s Mike and Mike and Mike and Mike.

Adam Schefter: “I think all the teams that we’ve talked about before, I expect that they‘ll all be in on Peyton Manning. You think Miami, you think Washington, you think Arizona.”

Mark Schlereth: “You and I both have history with Mike Shanahan. Washington would be a place where that might be a fit.”

Trent Dilfer: “You know, I’ve been listening to [Schlereth] talk about the Washington fit. I do think that’s very realistic. The only one that holds me up there is Shanahan’s always been a guy that wants a mobile quarterback. But Mike’s also good enough to know how to adapt to a guy like Peyton Manning, and Peyton’s mobile enough within that tight space, you can still change the launch point with him. That one makes a lot of sense.”

So, what do you do if The Shanahans have decided that THE QB for the team is someone they will take in the draft at the end of April?

I REALLY don't want ANY of Tampa's players. They flat out quit on their coach. I mean we're talking not even being competitive. I'm sure the Ronde thing is just a rumor. I highly doubt he's coming here.

It's obvious that we're going to be interested if he's released.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
 

If he's cleared medically, a lot of teams are going to be interested. Still a big if.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List
 

I think the Jets and Cardinals are the favorites to land him. I've heard that Mike Shanahan doesn't like the idea, but I suspect we'll bring him in for a visit if he's available. Can't hurt

Have the plan in place to get the person and make the appropraite FA choices. No excuses this time and no absurd decisions to go with a Rex, Becks type QB.

If the Shannys dont have a plan or dont execute it properly this offseason at the QB position that leads to another 10 loss season...i fully support cleaning house after next season.
