Redskins: 2012 Off-Season-Free Agency/Trades
 

What say we have a new thread! We've got one about NFL offseason FA/Trade Rumors and Moves

Here's one on the Redskins

Let's start with the news that Fred Davis has been tagged

Re: Redskins: 2012 Off-Season-Free Agency/Trades
 

I really hope that means they are close to a deal with Fletcher... He would have been my runner up for the franchise tag this year had we not given it to Davis.

Re: Redskins: 2012 Off-Season-Free Agency/Trades
 

Davis being tagged is a good thing, but I have no doubt we'll get a deal done with Fletcher.

Re: Redskins: 2012 Off-Season-Free Agency/Trades
 

I think this spells the end of Landry.

It's getting to the point where I want to just wish him the best of luck and let him go in a seperate direction. But then we have to start asking the question of who will replace him? Gomes is not starter material, Doughty is best suited to be a backup, and we really don't have anyone currently on the roster capable of starting at strong safety.

What does this have to do with Landry?

I suspect so too, but it worries me that we haven't struck a deal yet.

Re: Redskins: 2012 Off-Season-Free Agency/Trades
 

I never really considered the possibility that Davis wouldn't be here this year, so this is more methodology than news to us.

Lots of work to do this offseason. Two of the four top players on the defense can now test the market.

So what's the word with the Landry situation, I imagine we are letting him walk...but are we even discussing a deal?

a week or so ago, either rich campbell or chris russell reported on espn980 that the skins and landry were talking about a contract.

earlier in the offseason, i felt like we should just move on, but really, if we let him walk, who are we going to replace him with? i think, if the sides can work something out, then we should. when healthy, landry is our best player.

Does franchising Davis spell the end for Cooley?

No. Cooley had a conversation on the Lavar and Dukes Show about this in January and he said that he already talked with Shanahan and they want him back. I don't know if they'll want him to restructure his contract, however. I feel like that is a distinct possibility.

No. They would like to have the option to run a 2 tightend formation.

I hope we bring Landry back. This is weak draftclass for Safety and CB.

It has some pretty decent CBs, they are all just terrible human beings it seems...

I hope your right! I saw this and it made me nervous.

I'm with you on Landry I know his injury issues but when healthy the guy can ball.
