Update: Redskins Add S Tanard Jackson and Madieu Williams and CB Leigh Torrence

[SmootSmack]

This is already being discussed in another thread (multiple threads actually), but I know people will miss it and then complain that it was too easy to miss....

So here's a brand new thread so you won't miss it

*Sigh* Torrence.

I know SS said he's decent but I think he stinks. Hah, I mean I feel like he's like Doughty, good to fill in, just in case we have injuries or need him for special teams, but probably shouldn't EVER be starting.

Edit: Not that they were planning on him to start.

Okay, I just don't like the guy. I have a vendetta. At least I'm honest. >P

I always liked Torrence. I remember when we cut him, i belive in favior of Justin Tyron from Vinny's cant miss draft class of 2008......, how pissed everyone was.

He was GW's project from the begaining and i am nearly certain that GW said he was the fastest player he had ever coached. It should be interesting to see if he has anything left, but i get the feeling that he aint that fast anymore.

My mom met him once and hes a smart and really good guy. Obvisouly that doenst necessarly mean anything on the field, but i am glad he's back with the Skins even if it just means he is here for camp.

Torrence back for another round eh?

Looked him up, he's only 30? Seems like forever ago when he was here.

Maybe this has been addressed in other threads, but...

Are they sitting on signing Fletcher back? or is there some other reason (cap space, etc etc) that they seem to be not trying to jump on this?

Fletcher wants 6mil per for 3yrs and that is not a cap friendly # or realistic for a 37yr old lb. I heard the skins offered around 4mil. If the market settles & he doesn't get anybody too bite for his # then he'll be back, if not its better to let him go one yr early than too late.

Agree we are normally known for holding on to most aging players to long (I want Fletcher back but at the right price). A player his age & who plays his position normally signs 1yr deals.

Really unpopular to say, but very true. Short term it would be a major blow to lose him, but at some point age will catch up to him and I'd hate for it to be year 2 of a 3 year deal we are locked into.

We're definitely going the Spurrier route of cheap and available guys.

Also, as you said, cap.

They are decent stopgaps for the 2012 season and will be replaced shortly thereafter.

I drank with Leigh Torrence's dad in the parking lot before the HOF game the year Monk and Green were inducted, so he always has a special place in my heart.
