First I'd really heard Holmes' name mentioned for us. Cullen and Kris have been on our radar for several years actually. And I see Yanda as a longshot personally. Ravens will do anything they can to keep him.

Help on the lines is priority #1 in FA

I wonder what happened to make this news public? Redskins FO have been tight-lipped about what they are doing and plan to do.. On other hand, the list seems pretty good, I have no complains except for Kris Jenkins. Kris have history of injuries, but perhaps playing beside with his brother will motivate Kris to play hard and throughout injuries if it comes up.. I really hope we will be able to resign Brown and Moss - the veterans are essential to our offense.

So there is a chance we can have 3 Jenkins on our Dline at once. Kris, Cullen and Jarvis. Woah...

1. We do not need him at WR, a deep position.

Just sign Moss.

Holmes is better than Moss IMO

No question, but Moss knows the offense better than Holmes.. Beside if we actually sign both, I would think they play different spots - Holmes as #1 and Moss as #2 or slot WR.

I'm a believer of "you can't have too many targets" So I'd take Holmes or Edwards right now

[Mattyk]

I'd definitely take Holmes, pass on Edwards.

[SmootSmack]

What if the only way to get Cullen Jenkins was to sign his brother? Is he worth that?

[Mattyk]

I've got no problem with bringing in Kris Jenkins. Yeah the injuries are a bit of a concern but in a rotation I think he can still be productive.

And no where in this article is there a mention of us getting a CB. We have to have one, thats more important than signing beat up kris jenkins or santonio holmes.

[skinsfaninok]

Yeah we need a CB bad

I'm okay bringing in Kris Jenkins for a reasonable contract. From what I saw on Hard Knocks, he seems to be a good locker room guy. Plus he's got good experience at the NT position on a very good defensive team. He could be an asset to help bring up the young D-linemen we drafted.

NFL.com news: Redskins prepared to make run on big free agents after lockout

In this article, JLC said that Redskins plans to pursue to resign Philip Buchanon.. I think it's starting to look obvious that Redskins like Kevin Barnes as a replacement .

eehh...alright, but I think we should definitely make Nnamdi, JJ, and Ike Taylor offers and see if any of them will accept. If not then I guess I'm fine with Barnes starting at CB.

I want Barnes to have a chance to start, after sitting for 2 years.. I like Joseph out of those three.. Well, of course I would love to have Nnamdi but I expect him to be well out of our budget range, which leaves to Joseph and Taylor. Arizona traded Taylor back to Steelers for a reason and then Steelers apparently won't resign him for a reason. I do not want to find out what the reason is.

You're thinking of Bryant McFadden. And McFadden is nowhere near the caliber of a player like Ike Taylor. Ikes fast, really fast, tall, and physical, he has better hands than Carlos Rodgers (then again who doesn't). He gets some picks, he knows this defense, the negative is that he'll be 31 opening day.
