Maybe a possible starter at ILB????[/quote]

At the very least, a strong depth guy.

[quote=FRPLG;1140323]Thinking about it today....what big time FA deal has ever worked out? By big time I mean fire up the jets and load up a dump truck with money type deal. I literally couldn't think of one. The guys who sign those deals basically can't even hope to play up to them much less outplay them like a team is hoping for.[/quote]

well, this is from memory, but:
reggie white
drew brees
peyton manning (sort of)
london fletcher (not a brinx truck, but he was well paid).
revis

some others i'm sure. you do need something like a 90% hit rate on big money FAs to make sure you're not actively hurting your team's average talent year over year, and no one really hits that. honestly a lot of the best FA moves are the ones you don't make. switching systems and team mates can really throw the communication and knowledge of a person's fit in the scheme into the gutter. some guys have a lot more trouble figuring out their new role than others, which is part of the risk.

our worst two, AH and AA, were both player that were asked to do things they never showed that they were good at (4-3 pass rushing DE that wants money -> run stopping NT that cares about football, and slow in the box SS -> centerfield coverage guy).

[quote=That Guy;1140307]i don't think we're looking to sign a 32 year old CB. especially one that still wants to get paid.[/quote]

Darrell Green was pretty damn good at 41 too . . . and still ran a 4.4 40 at age 50 . . . it really depends on the player and position as to whether or not someone is worth signing at 32 . . . but not as a ridiculous asking price, that's for sure.

Per nfltraderumors.com Redskins are one of several teams that are in on Mohammed Sanu.

I think he would be good especially taking DJax place for the games he is hurt.

No Damon Harrison . . . he signed with the Giants . . . bastard: [URL="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/03/09/giants-land-damon-harrison/"]Source (PFT):[/URL]

I would be all for this . . . he is Big and Fast with good hands . . . he pays being AJ Green and put up great numbers when AJ Green was out . . . I think he is a hidden gem of this years FA crop

At the price they paid they can have him. First impression is that he bolted for the first big offer, which rarely works out. If he took a few days to mull his options, determine the best fit, etc. then picked the Giants I would be impressed.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

Sanu would definitely send Andre Roberts packing.

The way these teams are just giving away money it feels like last year was the worst year to get hurt but everything nHappens for a REASON[/B]

Dude, stfu. I'm getting a little done with him. Seems like all he cares about is getting paid.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

So far I'm liking this building up the D ,now we need a good couple of linebackers.

Yeah, it's obvious he's talented if McC/Gruden want to lock him down multi-year but the whole "firing his agent because he wants a one year prove it deal" screams that he's not interested in a long term career here. Oh well. Plus his past issues have me semi-convinced he's probably not a good person off the field.

What's wrong with a player wanting to get paid? Not everyone can take discounts like Tom Brady. Probably shouldn't be tweeting stuff like that, but this is always going to be the opposing forces: teams wanting to get the best players for the cheapest/less risky price and players wanting to get the most guaranteed money.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

I don't have a problem with someone wanting to get paid. My problem is when that's ALL he talks about...
