also Larry Foote of Detroit who has plenty of experience as a 3-4 MLB under Lou Spanos our new LB coach, could be here as well, and I just saw his height and weight, and Rocky is bigger than him by an inch and is the same weight, so maybe Rocky could be a MLB in a 3-4

How about just going with this headline:

"Redskins interested in every damn free agent out there"

Redskins FA Eve
 

I know there are other threads about FA, but with it about to kickoff in earnest, I felt this was a good time to start one about what really happens.

It sounds like it all starts at 7pm:

[QUOTE]RealRedskins #Redskins GM Bruce Allen will have a 7 PM presser to talk about free agency, tender offers and, possibly, player releases.[/QUOTE]

Anyone staying up like last year. I am figuring about 12:30 to 1am for me. If nothing happens, I will wake up like Christmas morning to here the 6am news to see if we signed 1, 2, or 3 new players, and who/how many we have cut. Sounds like the cuts will happen tonight though.

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

Twas the nite before FA & all through the internet not a single thing was moving not even a mouse. I hope we spend wisely. I must say i may not agree with alot of our moves but atleast we have a owner that's not afraid to spend & really wants to win.

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

Christmas comes twice a year in my house

March 5th and December 25

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

Unfortunately, this has been the only time of the year where we win. I am very excited about this year because I want to see our new leadership operate.

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

Without a QB, these moves really won't do too much for us. Campbell is not a big time QB. He could get us to the Playoffs MAYBE, but that's it.

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

I'm excited for this years free agency period. A lot of changes are very close. I want to talk more about it, but I don't know where to post. There are like 5 or 6 threads on the main page right now related to free agency. Maybe a merge?Just a suggestion.

We can close this one if that's what the mod's decide is best. My intent was to give a fresh slate to talk about what actually happens now that it has started, but I can live with only the other ones.

Oh I wasn't suggesting we close this. That's not my place. I just feel like the free agency discussions are pretty cluttered right now.

Anyway, I'll probably stay up tonight until 1 or 2am to see if anything goes down.

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

To say I'm looking forward to it would be an understatement. I want to see the new FO in action and what positions we address. Mainly I'd like to know we're not going into next year with a crippled o-line and no back-ups. I would also like to see the talent on defense take a step up.

I'll be up too, get out of work at Midnight will be on the Computer right after that.

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

Unless SmootSmack is planning on pulling an allnighter, i dont see any point in staying up. I used to do that, but nothing ever happens at 12:01. i just plan on waking up a little earlier than normal in the AM to see who we signed.

Isn't that how they report things out there?

On a related note, there's a Bengals DT Shaun Smith who's going to be a free agent (wasn't tendered according to Schefter's tweeter). At 6'2" 325lbs. it is said that he can play NT (by ESPN Scouts Inc) and is 28 yrs. old. Maybe we should look at him, and have a NT by committee of Monty, Smith, and maybe Griffin?

Redskins Rumored to Pursue Lebron, Bosh, and Duncan: Negotiating with Barcelona for rights to Messi. Roger Ferderer and Tiger Woods flown in by Snyder.

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

i cant wait. Rolle and Marshall are the two guys id like to get.

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

[quote=Mechanix544;668941]i cant wait. Rolle and Marshall are the two guys id like to get.[/quote]

Are you sure you want to trade our #1 pick for Marshall? Right when we can get Okung? Davis? Berry? or maybe even Bradford?

Edit: Even though I hope we would at least try to sign Rolle, by having his presence would help Landry - I believe.. We need someone who can take over some of Landry's responsibilities, in rookie year, he was looking good due to Sean Taylor.. Speaking of safeties; first of all, I'm not saying I advocate the idea of drafting Berry with our #1 pick; but I would not oppose to the idea, suppose Redskins decided to pick him.. Defense wins championships, especially now that we are in the passing game era..

Once again, I think the safest and most important thing to do for this franchise is to draft Okung..

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

Yeah I can wait til morning

Nothing really gets reported during the wee hours of the night any way

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

How sad well folks be if nothing happens.

Maybe Parcells will sign someone within 15 minutes just like he did with Justin Smiley in either '07. I find it funny that it seems as though every sports person that reported on the alleged tampering with Haynesworth, had this erased from their mind.

Exactly lol...but the way we played last year especially the piss poor offense, we need some sort of upgrade

Alot of the those reporters just hate DS, reporters nowadays have to much power they can say whatever and are not held accountable IMO.

Well SD spoiled my hopes for Sproles, they tendered him at First and Third rate:

Good. I've said this before...I hope we don't sign ANY FA RB's. Please just draft a couple of guys and try to get younger at that position.

No big deal. Shanny will bring at least 2 soon to be productive guys in here, most likely for a lot less money.

Just picture a Xmas tree on Xmas morning with no gifts at the bottom of it. A tear is starting up in my eye....

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

I for one would be disappointed. I want to see some fireworks. At least, some sparklers maybe????

Sproles got tendered.

Re: Redskins FA Eve
 

Lets hope we don't spend another $150 million like last offseason. It's pretty obvious that this team should be rebuilt mainly thru the draft. I think a low profile free agency period is what this team needs.

Kinda hard to do with just 5 picks. I think they are going to try like heck to acquire a few more picks, but a splash in free agency is inevitable.

Fawk! That sucks hairy balls!

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

Well there goes Sproles...I know this is business, but a bit of a dick move by SD if you ask me.

They probably got nervous at the interest he was generating

This should help Thomas Jones, Westbrook, LT, Willie Parker, and Chester Taylor. So I guess Taylor is now the top RB FA?
