Who should we go for in Free Agency?

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Give me a front seven so good, it doesn't matter who we have on the back end. Aka the Carolina Panthers defense.

I would love Gilchrist. He played free safety in college, but the Chargers moved him to strong safety because of Weddle. Maybe we could play him at free?

DRAFT ONE.

there's exactly one 1st round graded safety, and then basically nothing until the 3rd... terrible draft if you want a day 1 starter or someone with a good chance to be starting after a year.

there was only one good FA safety this year too. guess that's why the FO is going heavy on DL. maybe we'll get a good safety next year.

I think its reasonable to say the Skins really havent invested alot of money in the safety position...its not like we have tossed money around recklessly and we also spent draft picks there too that we havent been able to develop.

If there is a player who can stablize one of the 2 saftey positions for the next 3-5 years, why not?

Also, you mention OL...you talk about frivolous spending in free agency, we've seen several clear examples by 4-5 teams in the last week. I mean some really questionable contracts to unproven, average players.

Postions that are not deep in the draft that we need to find bandaids in Free-agency
S
CB (slightly above average)
QB (but F/As are terrible)

Apparently we tried but failed to sign Antrel Rolle.

I just said the samething to a coworker.

[SFREDSKIN]

F Rolle!! never liked that punk, Chicago made a mistake signing him.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Knighton and Browner and I am happy

[skinsfan69]

Rolle was probably a slight upgrade over Clark. Glad Chicago overpaid for him. Their D is probably worse than ours.

An anonymous head coach tells NBC Washington that "teams are afraid to sign" free agent DT Terrance Knighton because he's out of shape.

Knighton is meeting with the Redskins on Thursday, but has already been passed on by former coaches in Oakland and Chicago. He was expected to be a hot commodity as a run stuffer, and was at one point outrageously seeking $8 million per year. It's not exactly surprising that someone nicknamed "Pot Roast" is out of shape, but Knighton could cost himself all sorts of money by not hitting the open market in the shape he's expected to be in.

Was it Chip Kelly who said that? I swear I'll kick his ass.
