[quote=Chico23231;1061922]Lol yup...that's the br rep.

What's this about h.nicks being a top WR target for da skins? Smoke?[/quote]BA LOVES to poach from division rivals.

With that said, I don't see any reason to believe that Nicks has anything to offer. Unless he was going 3/4 speed on routes to get out of New York. In which case, I wouldn't bring him [I]here[/I].

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents
 

I hope it is smoke. I don't want to pay Nicks what he wants nor do I think he has shown much the last two years .

[quote=Mechanix544;1061949]why would we add sproles, who is probably looking to get alot more than we are willing to pay for a return man. Our running game is top 5 in the NFL, we just need to find a returner with a bit of vision who can hold on to the ball. Plus, what has that guy really done running the ball since 2010 or 2011? Not much. The guy is more receiver than a running back. Not really what we need, another small receiver who's stats are inflated due to checkdowns.

Plus, after looking at his stats, his kickoff returns the previous 2 years average just over 21 yards.........not really the gamechanger I'm sure he would want to get paid like, plus, in 9 seasons, he only has 3 PR TD's, and is on the wrong side of 30. PASS.[/quote]

Well, I don't think we would add Sproles to improve the RB unit, because as you pointed out, we don't need help there, and he wouldn't add much in that respect anyway. If we signed him, I think the primary reason would be to add a legit returner. Sure, he's not Cordarelle Patterson, but he'd be better than any KR we've had in a long time. I think his contributions on offense would be viewed as merely a bonus.

By the way, here's another link with more Sproles info:

I love the thought of Nicks. I got a friend who says that is one they are after. He also told me that Malcom Jenkins is there FS target. He has been right before.

[I]Report: Zero chance Hakeem Nicks returns to Giants
by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

There's a zero percent chance the Giants will re-sign impending free agent Hakeem Nicks, according to The Star-Ledger. Nicks, who did not score a touchdown in 2013, "appeared to be disinterested this season," the paper added. "His main goal seemed to be staying healthy instead of putting forth a maximum effort."[/I]

Not a flattering assessment of Nicks. Jenkins is OK, I guess. I'm not excited about either of them.

Wow I like shields, but wow he got way overpaid. Talib price just went up

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents
 

My thoughts exactly Chico.

Seems a little steep and definitely not a home town discount.

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents
 

Redskins are interested in DL Arthur Jones according to Aaron Wilson

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents
 

120 tackles and 8.5 sacks since being drafted in 2010. He is only 26, and has been productive tackler but doesn't create the pressure yet consistently. Good prospect but hopefully at a mid tier price.

Have to add that getting Joseph and Jones would be big upgrades for our DL. We could afford Joseph by cutting Bowen. Jones would be a nice piece to go along with Cofield, Jenkins, Joseph, and Baker. With those DL men it would give us flexibility with the DL and NT. Something we haven't had. Then it has to be answered do we get rid of Nield or Gholston?

Randy Starks too. Lot of just talking right now though
