haha, thats funny. smack it, dont crack it!!

[GMScud]

All this being said, I'd like to see what truth there is to the rumors of the whole draft pick swap/betts for Jonathan Vilma trade that has been mentioned.....

[dmek25]

i would rather the skins get Vilma in the middle, instead of old man fletcher. and if springs is leaving, i sure hope the skins have plan be ready. because rogers is going to really have to step it up, big time this season. and i would think that smoot has little or no chance at coming back

[724Skinsfan]

Anybody have an idea what Fletcher, Smoot and Bly will cost us? I'm of the opinion that I'd rather have a veteran CB or two that can play all 16 games than an outstanding cover CB that may or may not be able to play half a season. Springs definitely has a history of injuries.

I agree with you, we need another safety that will work well with Taylor. Archuleta sucks, he would be gone if it weren't for his contract killing our cap if he is cut. He will be the highest paid special teamer and situational Strong Safety in league history.

Redskins release safety Troy Vincent


Washington Redskins

Associated Press
2/22/2007 12:01:45 PM
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Veteran safety Troy Vincent was cut Thursday by the Washington Redskins, saving the team about US$1.3 million in salary cap space.
The Redskins signed Vincent six games into the 2006 season after free agent acquisition Adam Archuleta's early struggles, but the five-time Pro Bowl player failed to make much of an impact on the NFC's worst defence.
Vincent, 35, started three games, missed two with a hamstring injury, then returned as a reserve for the final two. His biggest play came on special teams, when he blocked a field goal in the final minute of a win over Dallas.
Vincent, who is the president of the NFL Players Association, began 2006 with Buffalo but was placed on injured reserve after hurting his hamstring in the season opener. The Bills later released him, and he signed a $3.9-million, three-year contract with the Redskins in October.
Vincent has 47 career interceptions. He is best known for his years as a standout cornerback with Philadelphia from 1996-2003.

I don't agree. If we take care of the line, ST will take care of safety...

Actually I think we're still over by a mill or two.

Where are you getting that number?

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

5.6 mill under and hopefully more cuts to come

We need help everywhere on defense. But safety is down the priority list if you ask me.

You have to start at the line, and work your way back. A great secondary won't matter when the front seven is getting gashed. This front four has been neglected in the draft for years. Not since Kenard Lang in '97 has this organization spent a high draft choice on a d-lineman.

And that was a different front office.
