From what little I remember he's a hell of a hitter, but yeah, that doesn't always translate into tackling skills.

Fred Davis sure looked pissed that no teams are pushing for him on NFL AM this morning. I think he is going to settle for a 1 year prove it deal.

With his track record off the field and injury history...that is all he deserves.


Earn your keep, Fred. We know you can...just prove it.

I dont know what type of scrilla he expected, but the 1 year "prove deal" is en vogue ala Flacco. Davis needs to sign our offer in get in camp. Once we get done with the penalty, he will get paid.

Yeah I gotta agree with you guys. Fred just has to many question marks to warrant a decent long term deal. He should just sign a one year deal and prove that he is healthy. I am sure that is what is holding up a long term deal more than the off field stuff. Teams want to make sure that achilles is good to go before they give him 5-6 mil in guarentees and a 4-5 mil/yr contract.

After seeing that footage from the nightclub it's hard to muster up any enthusiasm for bringing him back, even if it's only for a one year deal. The guy is a scumbag and we don't need him in our locker room.

[diehardskin2982]

^ I disagree. Not every player is going to be a chior boy in the locker room and that incident happened 2 years ago. People make mistakes. Would you think it fair to not be hired because of something that happened two years ago and it wasn't characterized criminal ( no arrest). These are football players, not politicans, teacher, etc.

I'm with you there. If he stays healthy, plays well this year, and becomes one of RGIIIs prime targets, he'd get a nice contract from the skins next offseason when we have money - not just to sign FAs, but to lock up our own guys to long-term deals.

Bad example!

Well if it's between us and the Browns for Fred Davis, maybe Cleveland is moving on?

I don't think Cleveland was ever serious about him to begin with.

c'mon back Fred. No one wants you.

Perhaps not the best line for the Redskins FO to play, but the perfect summarization of what happened. I hope we get him back. I don't trust Paul and while I like Paulsen, he's not a difference maker.

If they were, they would have had no problem paying him. They're in good shape.


Speaking of Cleveland...Cribbs was supposed to be traded to the Cardinals but they won't finalize the deal until his knee is 100%.
