Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?
With Snyderatto not running things anymore, the Redskins are no longer a place to go to get paid, so the greedy moneygrubbers wont want to come here (which is good). But what about the hard working, blue-collar players we want the skins to go after - why would they choose to come here?
McNabb is one of the most beloved players in the league - and the Shanahans completely humiliated him. I dont think free agents will want to come here because they fear Shanahan could do the same to them. What do you guys think? |
Re: Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?
I think the McNabb thing is a bit overblown. People know that Shanahan has won a lot of games in this league doing things his way. If you perform you've got nothing to worry about. Can we sit here today and really say that DM was performing at a high level? Anyone?

People do forget too that Andy Reid had decided he was better off without McNabb. That should have told people something, but it didn't.
But Props to Shanahan for doing things his way. Mcnabb wasn't working out, so Shanahan benched him. No other coach in DC would do something like that, we would just have to suffer through that players contract because they were the highest paid... |

I expect the Skins are going to be pretty aggressive in free agency. They're set up well to do so, cap-wise.

Re: Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?
As fans, we side with Shanahan. but players view McNabb as incredibly awesome and amazing. Its their perception that really matters, not ours. Without exception, ever quote from a current or former player (now in the media) has taken mcnabbs side in the issue and feels the teams disrespected him.
Remember, we arent just talking about mcnabbs performance being poor.we're talking about the manner in which it went down and how that looks to other players. |

I am eager to see how aggressive they will be & what that means; will they be aggressive in going after a few guys? big-money guys? We'll learn a lot about Allen & Shan this offseason. I expect the team to sign a no. of mid range starters rather than a few big contracts. Maybe something comparable to Gibbs II 04 class. |
Re: Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?
Anyone got a list?
I would like for us to go after Steve Slaton if he's a FA. He has a perfect style of running for the zone blocking like the did in WVU. He could also help on ST if he doesn't become our feature back. |

We really don't know who the unrestricted FA's are yet. Do we?

Here a pretty solid list resource |

i wish they'd stay quiet for a year and just try and draft and get a bunch of un drafted free agents. let them play together for a while and then when this team might be ready for a playoff run, then add in the big money free agents. the front office has to realize that they're not one off season away from being a contender.

There are only so many opportunities in the NFL. We'll have no problem luring FAs. Joseph, Woodley are two names I'm hearing a lot lately

Here a pretty solid list resource[/quote] I've got a feeling some of the top guys, like Vincent Jackson will re sign with their own teams or will be franchised. It's not like Philly is going to let Michael Vick walk out of there. |
