[quote=Ruhskins;533821]I think he was mentioned in an earlier thread, but any reason why the Redskins aren't going after Khalif Barnes? He seems (on paper) a better player than Ray Willis. I know the Jags sucked this past year, but he would seem to be an upgrade over Heyer and JJ.[/quote]

Khalif Barnes, wasn't he the tackle who gave up the most sacks last year??? I know he was injured but somebody mentioned the above statement (unsubstantiated though). He is a mauler in the running game making room for MJD and Taylor but don't know much about his pass protection. Anybody got any inside info on Barnes?

One thing I've noticed about the Redskins over the past few years is that if you don't hear anything (doesn't mean they have to go after him right away) about a prospective player as soon as they're available then the chances are the team won't go after them at all. We've heard about Ray Willis so I don't doubt that the team will try and make a run at him should he still be available. Kalif Barnes on the other hand hasn't been mentioned outside of the message boards.

Of course you end up with random guys like Fred Davis and Justin Tryon that no one had the slightest clue were being looked at but those instances seem to be rare. In fact I can't remember the last time we signed a possible starter where no one had any idea we were trying to sign them.

CB Greer signs with NO. Does that mean Springs is out of the mix and will land in Philly or w/ the pats..?

SAINTS LAND JABARI

The New Orleans Saints have agreed to terms with former Bills cornerback Jabari Greer, according to Adam Caplan of Scout.com.

The contract, which has not yet been signed, covers four seasons.

Greer, who joined the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2004, visited the Lions, Browns, and Buccaneers. The Broncos, Dolphins, Jets, Eagles, and Rams also were interested.

He became a starter in 2007, the season after Nate Clements left Buffalo for San Francisco as a free agent.

We were interested in Brown but we blew our load on Albert.

Last I heard I thought K. Barnes was talking to the Raiders. His future is probably most definitely as a RT

[QUOTE] The Redskins have made G Pete Kendall their next free agent target.
"He's my next phone call," Jim Zorn said. Kendall would return as a No. 3 guard and No. 2 center. He'd probably rather find a starting job elsewhere.[/QUOTE]

Hmmm...
