Weren't we going after him a couple of years ago?

It would be interesting to see if we go a completely different direction with the Secondary this offseason.

Personally I don't want him, but I know somebody does. I love stirring the pot.

Your stirring the pot on old news...

No offense, but this whole "starting a new thread everytime someone goes on the market" is getting old. Just add this to the 2009 Free Agents thread.

Vet minimum ????? :frusty:

Re: Dre Bly Released
 

at a very cheap price I think he'd be a good addition to the secondary, especially if we lose Rogers...

Unless someone has a link to an article saying the skins are actively pursuing some player, i think it could go in the FA thread... although I like the idea someone mentioned of a thread to discuss each position too. DLine, Oline, LB, DB, QB, RB/FB, and TE/WR should cover it.

I wish... he very likely will be the premier CB on the market this offseason (assuming we extend Hall).

Vet minimum is a running joke here....for any new FA that hits the market there's always a "sign him for vet minimum" response or thread.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Threads are getting too big and too generic. Keep topics separated!

So you think the whole thread about Deuce McAllister was worth it?

Sure, why not? If it's a worthless thread, it will drift away into oblivion. Unlike now, when they get merged, super-merged, and ultra-merged away into oblivion.

haha ok thanks for filling me in.

Re: Dre Bly Released
 

I think people can use their best judgement of whether a topic is thread worthy in and of its own. Inevitably, there's going to be a lot of overlap in discussion particularly in the off-season. I look at the Free Agent Thread more about updates and general NFL FA news, but not necessarily news that's really directly relevant to the Redskins.

For example, Deuce being cut is probably not that relevant to the Redskins because we don't need a 30+ RB coming off multiple knee surgeries. (By the same token, I can understand how the Colts cutting Marvin Harrison could be thread worthy because he's been such a major part of the Colts organization that even though it was inevitable it's pretty big news.)

Jordan Gross closing in on a 6 year deal is thread worthy because it closes whatever window of opportunity we thought we might have had getting a young OT (a position of need for us) but it also may open up another opportunity with the Panthers likely cutting LB Landon Johnson to make the deal work.

I guess I would just say-and Matty and the other mods may disagree-use your best judgement on what's thread worthy or not. Worst case scenario, we'll just lock it and move on.

Re: Dre Bly Released
 

I dont think Gross can be considered young. He'll be on the wrong side of 30 when the 2010 season starts. He's youngER than any of our starting O-linemen, but thats not saying much. The panthers are doing everyone else a favor by signing him to a deal where he'll be making over 10M/year for the next 3 years.

Well there was a thread where folks were discussing the team's defensive backs ([url]http://www.thewarpath.net/redskins-locker-room/28370-for-all-you-d-hall-lovers-7.html[/url]) and Dre Bly was brought up. Even for the team to consider picking up a player like Bly, the whole situations with Halls, Rogers, and Springs would have to be somewhat resolved. So this is why I thought a thread specifically for Dre Bly was not necessary.

But that's just my opinion.
