I see. So Torrence isn't competitive. This does not bode well for his chances of making the team. He better issue an unsolicited challenge to an olympian soon or he'll be back on the street.

Hall is a big mouth who can't back up shit, with Torrance you know what you get and has actually gotten better in coverage and you know he can play ST well.

Give LF 2 year deal, 5 mil per year.

I agree. Offer him a 1 year deal after that if he's still putting up the same numbers, but if he's not I could see him retiring a redskin and hopefully taking up a position on the coaching staff

At Fletcher's age his production could fall off very fast and sudden. Who knows if he's even playing in 2 or 3 years.

Disagree, apart from the obvious risk of injury. London is arguably the most dedicated guy on the roster (to his health) and shows more fire in his belly year after year. I think he's set for at least two and probably three years, barring injury of course.

...looking at London's body type though and his excellent technique and injury just isn't a big worry IMO.

At his age you just don't know. It's happened to plenty of guys before. I'm not predicting anything, just saying with a guy his age it's something to keep in mind.

I think he's lost maybe a half step in the past couple of years. Nothing that he isn't able to compensate for with his smarts, but the fact is he's an old player.

Signing Leigh Torrence reminds me of how much I want Justin Tryon back.

Difference is, we offered Royal a contract and at one point thought he was signed.

The Redskins are clearly not confident in Kevin Barnes. The things I like about Barnes besides him being a former Terp is he shows lots of hustle. What I don't like about Barnes is that he struggles in coverage.

At least we'll see Torrence and Barnes compete in preseason for the nickle back position.

As for Madieu Williams is another former Terripin. I'd be more comfortable seeing him starting @ SS instead of Meriweather.

A defensive back who "struggles in coverage" is a liability. There is just no way to get around that...

Barnes is horrible

Torrence signing brings really no value other than a body to camp. B Thompson has more value at this point.

Interesting on the the Skins' website when listing positions for players, they have Meriweather as FS and C Griffin listed as CB. Torrence and B Thompson have the ambiguous DB title and Reed and Gomes are just S not SS. Meriweather is the only listed FS on the roster, M Williams hasnt been listed yet...Of course this is nothing set in stone, but may be an initial indication of what their thinking is.
