He's probably second best, but there is a TJ Ward or two that gets to the market every year. Wouldn't go over 5/$20 for Ward.

Chris Clemons from Miami can play a little bit and I'm a big Malcolm Jenkins fan, but this is a weak safety class. Corner is loaded, though.

The safeties in the draft are intriguing, though. Jimmie Ward could be available with the 34th pick.

I don't think we're going to spend big money anywhere except on resigning our own FAs. Bruce Allen said, "We’re going to have to get about 20 new players for this football team.” If we want to do that, players like Byrd and Mack are out of the picture.

20 players, not all are going to be pricey.

you figure 6-8 draft picks. BA seems to be pretty good at moving around in the draft so I figure even without trading KC we probably end up with 8.

3-5 mid level FA's who are competition and priced at about the slots they are filling,

1-3 impact FAs, Byrd or Mack might make a lot of sense, also a solid RT, these are the guys who salary cap room means we have a chance.

and then about 5-8 undrafted rookies or training camp bodies whose salaries will never break the top 51.

He's not talking 20 starting caliber players.

Maybe one elite FA is a possibility. Like I've said before, I'm no cap expert. But after we resign Orakpo, Riley, Baker, Jackson, and Moss, to list some of the most expensive, we'll probably have less than 15 million in space left(unless we tag Orakpo; in that case, it will be considerably less). If you add in an elite FA, you're at less than 10 million in space; with draft picks, UDFAs, and lots of FAs still to sign.

Perhaps I'm way off base and/or not explaining myself very well. If that's the case, I trust someone more cap-knowledgeable than myself will weigh in.

Yeah don't forget, for every player you sign you bump someone else out of the top 51. So sign someone for $750K, you bump out the 51st player whose cap hit is $500K. So the net impact is only $250K.

They'll get a lot of those kind of guys. They can still afford a Byrd if they want.

I was an open advocate for giving dhall the proverbial boot until he put it together this past year. He had good to great efforts versus several top flight WRs. I'm not worried he will relapse. He never struck me as underachieving due to laziness or sloppiness. It was more like he just wasn't very good but tried hard. It seemed he backed off the gambling a bit last season and it made him better overall.

Ive been a Hall guy since he got here, and been arguing his case. I felt like he wasnt appreciated by many skins fans though i agree.

[over the mountain]

there wasnt much to appreciate before 2012 imo.

the dude was burnt toast in 2011.

People have Darrell Green as their standard, but Darrell Green was a different era and he had a great d-line to work with.

Hall gives up a lot but he's a big play guy. Gets INTs and tends to return them well. Those can be difference-making plays in a game.

Problem was the rest of our team stunk so bad that even when he made his big plays it wasn't enough to swing the result in our favor.

I've never seen so many wasted defensive TDs in my life!

Have to take the good with the bad and when you weigh it all out, he's OK as a starting CB. Since they got him for a mediocre financial commitment, it's all OK as long as we can land our impact guys at other positions.

Starters Hall and Amerson combined projections in in 2014:

INTs: 15
TDs: 7

[GTripp0012]

A lot of the polarizing opinions on Hall have moderated as he's gotten older. The salary and cap number has come way down, the performance has gone up each of the last two years, and the frequency of dumb penalties are getting less and less every year. It's a lot harder to find a voice in the industry that thinks Hall sucks. Three years ago, that was consensus opinion.

The Hall truthers (not the Hall fans, the truthers) are still an annoying bunch. You know the guy who thinks Hall wasn't beat even once last season? That's the guy I'm talking about. But that guy is getting harder to find also.

DeAngelo Hall has come back to the Redskins given two separate chances to leave, and that will endear him to the fanbase. As it should.

"The hall truthers"...lol that's gold

[skinsfaninok]

very happy with this move, Hall was our best DB last yr

Hall & Amerson can get it done with help over the top.

Guys like Sherman for instance.. cmon bro you wouldn't look as good as you do if Earl Thomas (a muschamp texas guy man I wish we had) AND Kam Chancellor are zonin out up top ready to jump. Its soooo important he has an elite S to let him play zone. Halls a zone guy. Let him do what he does best it will look like that game vs Manning this past year a lot more often.
