Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

[donofriose]

Super Bowls are won in April, not in March, so these moves have been good. They are not falling in love with names which is great. I think they are copying what Seattle does, which we all saw what that turned into.

[Skinsfanatic]

So, going into day 2 of free agency, our needs still include:

a safety
more ol help
another starter at ilb
a number 2 wr
dl
a back up te
and cb

not panicking, there is still time and there is still the draft, but a lot of free agency depth disappeared yesterday. it will be interesting to see if we make some moves today (frugal ones I am guessing) now that the market has sorted itself out some.

We also need a punter.

good call, I forgot the punter.

[Skins4L]

how good was Mitchells deal? hes the only one I feel like woulda been a safe option. young, gonna get better. the Raiders let him go wayyy to soon. I think not getting him in peticular bothered me. Byrd was the dumb move I knew and hoped we wouldn't do.

this free agency group was kinda weak.

[Skins4L]

nevermind Mitchell not as young as I thought he was. alright. win.

Sources tell the Baltimore Sun that the Ravens and ILB Daryl Smith still have a "disconnect" on contract numbers.

Smith led the Ravens in tackles with 123 last season, playing all but two defensive snaps. GM Ozzie Newsome needs him back. Smith is likely hunting for more money than originally expected after watching 32-year-old Karlos Dansby squeeze four years and $24 million out of the Browns.

We ought to look into the possibility of "disconnecting" him from the Ravens altogether by signing him. Then we can draft a young ILB and go from there.

My remaining wish list: TE Andrew Quarless, S Clemons, DE Tony Starks, DT from Raiders, resign Reed, resign Tanard Kush, one:WR Britt, Nicks or Sidney Rice, and a decent Vet for Right Tackle competition, a reasonable CB and ILB.

TE Quarless - Good insurance for Reed.
S Clemons - Solid player but not a playmaker.
DE - Sign Antonio Smith today.
Doughty - I guess we have to sign him; he won't go away.
S Kush - Not re-instated.
WR - Rice can play. No to Britt and Nicks because they quit on their teams.
RT - I dunno. Didn't work last season.
CB - Sign Corey Graham today.
ILB - Steal Daryl Smith from Ravens since they don't want to pay him.

I don't think Nicks quit as much as he was hurt, if it is a 1-2 year deal I am fine with that.

[Chico23231]

Clemons isnt a playmaker, but he is a play stopper.

Im for Reed just because he is a decent special teams player with leadership abilities.

I think we go Mays over Darryl Smith, but we are interested in both. It stinks what Cleveland did in handing out the worst contract of the day to a position of need for us.

[over the mountain]

looking back the mitchell deal seems like the only one i thought we would have made.

reports were that we were targeting him.

im trusting the FO to have a game plan for FS.

I would like to see something done about RT in FA. Im not a big fan of starting rookies at the ends (unless they are blue chip talent like trent). I think SF got a bargain trading a 7th for martin who is a recent 2nd rounder at a position of need - RT.

I know reports are that we are looking to add another WR but i dont think that is a position of need. there is not a true no. 1 on the market and we dont need another no 3 or 4 receiver.

garcon, hank, roberts, moss, robinson = no more room for another average body. we already have 4 of them.

Good thing we have a #1 WR already, and I wouldn't call Roberts an average body until he plays, but I can see us adding another WR somewhere.

Unless anyone trusts Hankerson, which I don't, we need to add another WR2/WR3-caliber guy. Roberts is borderline WR2/3 but can return kicks too. Solid signing but we need a clear #2, which we may not have right now unless Roberts can step into it. Problem is, he's a slot WR, more of a WR3.


I still want Stephon Tuitt at DE with Pick #34.

I still think Britt (if we can get him on the cheap) is our #2. Or, Decker :-).
