So far, the Redskins have, reportedly, been interested in the following FA's:

OT Tony Pashos SF
OG Artis Hicks MIN
ILB Larry Foote DET
FS Antoine Bethea IND
QB Rex Grossman HOU
DE Jason Babin PHI
C Kevin Mawae TEN

Am I missing anyone?

So do we know anything about jamal williams, Ryan Clark, Darren Sharper, Mike Bell, Darren Sproles if he'll get traded, and where they may go?

I called Larry Foote months ago saying he'll probably go here which, he probably will go to.

per Adam_Schefter tweet:

Miami reached agreement with linebacker Karlos Dansby on a 5-year, $43 million deal, including $22 million guaranteed.

I guess he is not coming to DC, but he is not going to the G-men! Good!

[quote=ChickenMonkey;670271]I cant seem to figure out how the Skins are going to fill 10 new roster spots and at the least 3 new OL positions with 5 draft picks???????[/quote]

Don't worry I'm sure someone will kindly inform you that the whole draft should be soley used for OL. Then we'll be good to go. ;)

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

I think there's real reason to be concerned how we'll fill out our roster just to a place where we can be better than last year. There is a severe shortage of DL talent in FA and we all know it's unlikely the FO drafts a stud NT early. In fact even if we drafted Suh no telling how quickly he'd adjust to NT position.

As of today we need to draft/sign 7 legitimate starters to be a better team than last year: RT, LT, some combination of 2 dlinemen, 1 OLB (unless Wilson makes huge strides), 1 CB (to replace Rogers/Smoot), and a legitimate NFL FS. So yeah I count 7 and we'll only get 2 starters in the draft.

I understand there's new, smarter, mgmt in place but I think forcing the 3-4 scheme this year basically demanded a very aggressive FA plan to keep the defense from taking a big step backward...especially considering Haslett is hardly a whiz when it comes to producing great defenses.

I think that was his intention all along, and I guess we didnt want to pay anymore than they did (I cant believe I just said that)

Uhhh. Neither Suh nor McCoy will be playing NT in the NFL.

the packs overpaid for him. perhaps his agent did a good job of playin the skins card and the packs bit. but so far we arent the ones overpaying or making knee jerk reactions.

allen/shanny werent willing to over pay. i like it.

dont get me wrong, im surprised too but i dont think there is a big drop off in talent from clifton to say a pashos or gandy, etc . . .

no single FA player was a must need for us this year. last year AH filled an absolute need at a once in a decade opportunity.

I left him out because he re-signed with GB.

It's hard for me to understand how Bruce Allen could let the Skins first choice at LT get out of town without signing a contract unless Clifton simply used his visit to Washington as leverage to get the deal he wanted from Green Bay.

One thing is for sure: At this point I don't have a clue about what to expect from Shanahan and Allen this offseason.
