I imagine he will get it.
I also imagine this means they are signing TE Cooper to a LTD.

I keep hearing fans on the radio talking about how much cap space we have and how this team will look totally different next year ....

Every team except like the Saints and rams have a ton of cap space.
Do you know who has more cap space then us? The god damn cowboys, even w tagging Dak.

19 more teams currently have more cap space then us. I know, well cut Reed and reduce RK etc but other teams will make cap saving moves to.

1. Phins 89M
2. Colts 86M
3. Bills 80M

5. the God damn Dallass Cowboys 77M
7. giants 61M

19. Eagles 40M
20. Skins 38M

Were going to have money to spend ... but so are a lot of teams. Seems like the contract game is changing ... quickly.

A good portion of that Cowboys is going to Dak as a franchise tag or long term extension

$10 million for Beasley? he had less than 2 tackles per game

Told you. It’s between us and Buffalo as Brandon Beane used to be in Carolina too.

Yeah...one thing about Olsen is he is really tough, that would be a change versus the guys we have had before. My obvious concern would be if he is starting, then this would be kinda terrible as he will get hurt. I really hope we find a starter in Free Agency or draft

Reed averaged 6 games the last 3 years, so if Olsen plays more than that it is a bonus. They need 3 new TEs, so they should have help if Olsen can not play 16 games.

FWIW... a few years ago Olsen played 144+ games in a row, granted he is older now

I'm actually pretty surprised he wants to keep playing, knowing he's got a tv deal ahead along with his injury plagued last few seasons. He must be waiting on a specific tv deal...guess that means the MNF crew isn't changing for next season

He wants to play one more year for RR. He’ll be a very good TE and also a mentor to Haskins.

The Redskins will have lots of cap room WHEN they trade/dump many of their current FA. The reason the Redskins are low on the cap room list right now is because the Redskins haven’t made those decisions yet. I think this week the Redskins management is on vacation. Next week they will start to evaluate the team to determine who is to be let go. Then they will need to figure out what positions need to be dealt with in FA / draft /UDFA.

The whole TE FA equation is being re-written by the Greg Olsen visit. He’s a one year hire for his ability to help Haskins, kind of like Alex Smith, except he will play. His hire, which I expect, will mean that instead of hiring an elite, younger and very expensive FA such as Hooper, the Redskins will hire a more a lower price TE and probably will draft a TE for long-term development.

BL -I think the Redskins will hire Greg Olsen. He and RR have worked together and he will be used to help develop Haskins.

I think the Redskins will hire Greg Olsen within a week. I think he will be hired at reasonable cost. The next question is who else will be hired at TE.


As I have said, I think TE is where the Redskins will spend the most of their FA money. I think it is still possible for the Redskins to hire an elite TE like Hooper or Henry - both who are in their 20’s. The combination of Olsen and let’s say Hooper will help Haskins greatly, especially in the Red Zone. The quest to get an elite TE like Hooper or Henry will be expensive as they are coveted by other teams. They will probably be record TE contracts. Getting two very good TE will also help the running game as they can both block as well as catch. The money to hire this TE plan will come from letting Reed go and also because Vernon Davis retired.

I also think the Redskins will resign Trent Williams with a contract of guaranteed money that he wants. I give it a 50-50 chance the Redskins will sign Trent, Scherff and Flowers.

Olsen will help mentor Haskins, like Alex Smith is doing. This can only help Haskins to grow.

I'd bring him in, why not?

[Buffalo Bob]

Pretty much any warm body would be an upgrade at tight end.

[AnonEmouse]

I agree if he's healthy and low cost. Even a 2 year deal as he's not past it yet. But not on the kind of money that Hooper or Henry would get.

I doubt Henry is going to hit free agency. Chargers will likely tag him, especially with Gate retiring and having to lure a FA QB (i.e. Brady).

[Warthog]

If true that means Hooper will demand and get the big bucks. He’ll be one of the top paid TE, but we need him bad. Right now we have NOTHING at TE. Davis is retired. Reed will or should retire. This position is critical for the team and Haskins.

If the team can’t get Hooper or someone else (besides Olsen, who they will hire) then they’ll need to draft a TE with their third or fourth rounder but the draft is thin for this position. It might be better to use their draft pick for WR which is very heavy this draft.
