is NOT enough. You don't spend 8mil/yr on a guy that oft injured. When good teams pass up on their own players, it should tell you something. Follow their lead.

this link refutes those claims

Jake Long, T for the St. Louis Rams at NFL.com

I would not pay Long $8 million, however if he has played 12-14 games I would be interested, at the right price

So you didnt want DeSean Jackson then?

here is a name at right tackle that might not have to big of a price tag and is pretty good and talented, barksdale the RT from the rams any idea on him ?

FA Signing Day is finally here. I'm wondering if the Redskins will surprise us today by signing someone we haven't even discussed here. Or, will it take more time for our FA plan to develop? We're about to find out.

All I know about him is that he is said to be a good run blocker but he gave up seven sacks last season. He's young enough at 27.

I'm talking about Bulaga, not Long. I wouldn't pay Long but vet min with incentives.

A comparison:

D.JAX
2010 PHI 14
2011 PHI 15
2012 PHI 11
2013 PHI 16
2014 WSH 15
71/80 = 89%

BULAGA
2010 GB 16
2011 GB 12
2012 GB 9
2013 GB 0
2014 GB 15
52/80 = 65%


J.LONG
2010 MIA 16
2011 MIA 14
2012 MIA 12
2013 STL 15
2014 STL 7
64/80 = 80%

To the folks who want to spend $8-9M on Bulaga, I get it. RT is a position of need on which we have skimped in the past. If BB can stay injury free, having him as a bookend to and backstop for TW would be worth some good coin.

My biggest concern is his injury history. Two years ago, the Rams paid big bucks to a former 27 year old first round pick with an injury history. Yesterday, with the guy rehabbing an ACL, and the Rams facing a big cap hit and they cut him. Their replacement, the second pick of last year's draft.

If they sign Bulaga, so be it. I think they should give Moses the chance to develop. With McCourty off the table at safety (the position where I would be willing to overspend), I am not adamantly opposed to paying BB. I just would not be thrilled either.

Apparently, J. Long is contemplating retirement.

You're right to urge caution due to Bulaga's injury history. I like him as a player but what I really want is improved play at RT from anyone. I think we need better protection for our young QB's in 2015 so we can better evaluate them. We have some decisions to make about the QB position prior to the 2016 season.

So I'm thinking that signing an older FA RT or making a trade for an older RT would be OK as a short term band-aid. I'm OK with Compton as a awing tackle but, unlike you, I'm not optimistic about Moses developing. That's why I'd like to see the Redskins draft another young OT if they pick up a veteran.

Bro, who the F are you talking about?

Long has been a durable player in his career, 2014 was the only season he missed significant time.

I definitely would not advocate for 8M per year on him but you can take a look, for sure.

Nevermind, my bad.

Reading is fun-damental.

[bigant]

i just wish we had more cap space to give it a try with bulaga if stays injury free we hit the jackpot and now we have two very good tackles for the for the future, maybe we should give barksdale a look from the rams

[SFREDSKIN]

I like Stefen Wysniewski, Cecil Shorts, Searcy the S from Buffalo and Jordan Cameron.
