Somewhat surprised that we are going strong after a DT. I'm guessing Joseph is the target? Is the plan to move Cofield to DE if that's the case? Also could be an indication of what the plan is at LB. A 2 gap 3-4 DL is supposed to be a space eater and free LB up to make tackles. Maybe the plan isn't to invest heavily at ILB and hope to get by with a veteran and a draft pick with the expectation they will be kept clean by the DL.

Any rumblings about priorities on the offensive side?

I dont think Weddle or D Gholston are worth their contracts.

The reasoning behind DT aggressiveness: Is Coefield gonna be playing DE alot? or are we gonna to a 4-3 look more often? Thanks SS

At this point I want the Linval Joseph, Brandon Spikes, and Malcolm Jenkins/T.J. Ward Combination.

Did anyone see @Jsteelznskins reporting that Tanard Jackson will be reinstated? LOL

Add in a helping of Andre Roberts and Austin Howard and I would be quite satisfied with that.

Gholston no. Weddle? Yes.

Weddle is good, i just dont think he is worth 40 million on that Defense. just my opinion.

I just dont know about shelling out 40 mil to any player with all the holes on defense. I would feel the same about give Rak 40 mill as well.

Thanks for the info Smoot. Coefield could handle that.

You are gonna have to pay people, especially someone who you would consider a cornerstone in your defense. No one is saying pay him 100million, but you would have a hard time convincing me why the top safety in the game isn't worth 40-45 million over 5 years at 27 years of age. People didnt wanna pay Garcon 42 million. Just baffles me, so if Byrd and Weddle arent worth 40 million each, what are they worth?

[Chico23231]

I get what your are saying, but replacing so many positions on the team at once, this is a new regime; it is like rebuilding. Dont want to max any position out, kinda want to feel out the new team before i say we must have this one guy at all cost.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Ok I'll bite, how many positions do you think we are replacing in one off-season?

I think at least 7 new starters. Maybe 8 depending on what the hell we do with the Oline and if we promote from within (Gettis, City of, McRib). Also think we could add a second TE who would be like a new starter the way Gruden uses 2 TE sets.

[Lilman52]

What about bring Champ back home, and moving him over to safety? It would be nice to see him back in the Burgundy and Gold once he gets released from Denver. But they need to focus on the OLine in free agency if they aren't looking at the draft to sure it up. Been awhile since we can really say we had a top tier line

[DynamiteRave]

Champ is old and injured. I don't even think he wants to come back to DC. Back in the day, dude asked to be traded if the Skins franchise tagged him. Which I think at that time, the Skins wanted to do.

I don't think he'd be trying to come back here.
