Redskins Free Agent Signings 2020

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

People are acting like Dunbar was prime Richard Sherman or something. The guy didn't want to be here and was always hurt. Is Darby the next coming of Darelle Revis? Nope but I would wait until I see our entire roster before I act like we just traded away Deion Sanders in his prime.

[punch it in]

Im not sure anyone is calling Dunbar Deion lol. Let us not forget though that Dunbar shined on a shit team with a shit DC. He lacked a pass rush for most of his time here. Lacked a supporting cast in the secondary for most of his time here. Darby underachieved on a team that wasn’t lacking any of that. Maybe RR and JDR will get the most out of him. I hope so. My point is simply if him and Dunbar were in each others shoes the last couple of years you might all realize Dunbars superiority more than you do.

I’m disappointed in the 2020. FA. The only big FA tries appear to have been toward Cooper, Hooper and Flowers - we were outbid by Dallas, Cleveland and Miami. We had the sixth highest cap and we got outbid everywhere.

WE got Fuller but Trent is going to be gone and we’ll be happy to get a third for him or maybe two third. Flowers is gone. Dunbar is gone for a fifth. TALENT WISE WE ARE GOING BACKWARDS. We prove players like Flowers at G and then let them walk over $2 mil yr.

I’m really disappointed with the TE issue. Hooper, who is NOT the best TE in the NFL, got top TE money by Cleveland ($11 mill). Ebron (who I didn’t want) also went elsewhere. What is our TE plan? Over the past decade, no rookie TE has had more than about 500 yds their first season. The best rookie TE’s in this period (like Henry who was franchised by the Chargers) were all drafted from draft picks 40 and above. By the third round there will be no TE draft picks of value. Unless Kyle Smith pulls a TE Diamond-in-the-rough out of the dregs of the draft we have no TE star for this season.
The team might as well use their third round pick for WR or OT.



My grade for this FA is a “D”. Sure we’ve signed a bunch of depth players or guys that we’ve signed for one year deals. It’s just like throwing a bunch of jello on the wall and seeing if anything sticks . But overall we went backwards. We Lost Williams, Dunbar and Flowers and got Fuller and a bunch of backup, depth players. Maybe a starter or two will emerge that we can resign or NOT ( see Flowers example), for longer contracts.

My big question is WHAT ARE WE SAVING ALL THE CAP MONEY FOR? If we had offered $1 more a year for Hooper we would at least had SOMETHING in the TE crew. Now we have a bunch of very marginal players at TE, just like last year.

I have a prediction: TE, WR and OL right now is EQUAL or WORSE than last year. How does that help Haskins?? I’m sure all the 8ers will be out with their knives when Haskins has no one to throw to except McLaurin or Sims, Jr. or when Haskins is running for his life perhaps from chase himself (see below).

This FA period is SUCH A BUST that Rivera is considering trading our #2 spot in order to get a few good or very good players in this draft, instead of Chase - a superstar. Then we can watch Chase destroy Haskins because there is no one for Haskins to throw to.

Rivera forgot that he needs to add a few more million to get stars to come to one of the NFL’s worst franchises. By playing it cheap, we end up with less than nothing.

So I was listening to JP Finlay's podcast and they all sounded pretty definitive that our secondary will be:

S: Collins and Davis
CB: Fuller on one side. Moreau/Darby competing for the other side. Moreland as a slot CB.

I think the Fuller situation is interesting, I think he's really really good, and his contract tells you this staff sees him as a starter outside, but where he really excelled was as slot CB.
I guess we won't know for sure until TC/pre-season, but what do you guys think?

I'd prefer Darby and Moreau on the outside with Fuller in the slot. With Stroman and Moreland backing up all the spots.

Well, let's see how they battle it out in TC.
But I really like Fuller, I think he's good enough to play outside, and I want him on the field on all snaps.
Now if Moreau proves he can be a legit starter, I'm fine with it, and if Darby stays healthy and plays to the level he played with the Bills... we have a legit secondary.

I like Fuller too. He is at his best in the slot so I want him to be there a majority of the downs. 3 CBs seems to be the new norm.

When they are only going with 2 CBs then I'd think he'd bump 1 of those 2 off the field.

F U Dallas!

Oh, that's a nice way to put it too. So basically he's your starting outside CB and slides in the slot on nickel and dime formations ?

Some good Thomas Davis Quotes. One of the more useful Redskinswire articles I've read. A lot of times they post nothingburgers about nothingburgers.

Hard not to love this guy:

Hope he does great in his return to DC. We certainly could use his skills.

Good read about Kevin Pierre-Louis

Personally I like the signing. Depth at linebacker. Plays an interesting style. I could see Del Rio using him in some schemes.

Yes like the signing. Him and Davis were great signings. Like the fact that KPL has speed. That is coveted in itself. Hope he gets it in DC and contributes. He should certainly be motivated.

HTTR!
