Redskins Free Agency 2016

MTK · 03-25-2016, 09:01 AM

PT is on the radar, which means if no better options are available before camp we could bring him back in.

He's a cheap and available type that can fill in well when needed as a 3rd down back.

Not even really worth the discussion we've had so far.

Alot of these guys will probably linger til after the draft now.

Exactly, no reason to sign him now only to release him if a RB is BPA.

David Bruton can help Washington Redskins, even if he's not starting - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN

Baker posted photos of an apparently slimmer Knighton on Monday and promised that “y’all haven’t seen us at our best yet.” Knighton, who played fewer than 400 snaps and battled cluster headaches last season, finished with 29 combined tackles and 1 1/2 sacks.

Coach Jay Gruden estimated last week that the Redskins utilized their base package on less than a third of their defensive snaps last season, and that reduces the need for an exclusive nose tackle. [Defensive coordinator Joe] Barry plans on further de-emphasizing the position this season, Gruden said.

I expected more from Knighton last season. He just didnt collapse the pocket enough imo. Then it seemed like he was trying to penetrate to make tackles vs taking on blocks ... but then there were times when he would push the center back and disrupt plays.

I would like him back but i wonder how much of that is bc he is baker's bff. Im torn on this one.

Keep that word rotational out of any thing about me

^^ and then he says this. sorry, you would be rotational if you sign w the skins.

I agree, although it was hard to tell, Knighton was in dress clothes .... lets see what he looks like in a t shirt

Schneed10 · 03-29-2016, 12:45 PM

He's OK. Can get somebody with better upside in the draft in rounds 1 or 2.

JoeRedskin · 03-29-2016, 03:14 PM

Knighton would be fine as a not-quite last resort - assuming it was the right price. He had a "prove it" deal and, well, he proved he was average at best. At the same time, he provided good leadership and character to the locker room.

If Scot's guy isn't there in the draft or other positions have better players when we pick, I have no problem bringing Knighton back at a less-than-prove-it deal. He is not the disruptive force he was in Denver two years ago (that may be b/c he is not surrounded by the other disruptive forces that were in Denver at the time), but he is a solid pro who knows the D, knows the personnel, and knows what it takes to win.

"Well, we need to find somebody."

What's he got left at this point?

TheMalcolmConnection · 03-29-2016, 04:21 PM

As long as he doesn't take reps away from Crowder, I'm down with having more depth even if it's super old depth. Grant hasn't really progressed...

Irrefutable · 03-29-2016, 04:29 PM

Boldin had 69 receptions despite mediocre QB play....great blocker, tough red zone receiver.... He would be a good addition for a year or two..... if the price is right

FWIW Knighton is visiting the Redskins tomorrow. The odds the visit involves a scale is 99.9%

Interesting...Im an Bolden fan and wouldn't mind signing him, but I don't like it if the corresponding move is too cut Garcon.

That Guy · 03-29-2016, 05:19 PM

boldin was never a speed guy, so he can probably still be pretty good. he catches, blocks, runs hard. huge upgrade over roberts (who i think is still alive, somewhere in space and time). AB is a bit more than just a guy, and would be a decent 1 year rental.
