-I believe he's 30 now, so that comes into play too.

-What are the teams feelings on Tom straight outta Compton and Polumbus? Polumbus was descent in run support, but god awful in pass-pro, is that something that can be improved upon this offseason, or is he just too slow?

Personally I think I would steer clear, and just draft another T in the mid rounds to push the current RTs.

I want him as our RT, but that doesnt mean that we can afford him. To me, it depends on the cuts that can be made without hurting the team. Sure we can cut DHall and have the space to sign him, but does that leave us enough to get the draft class signed as well as other depth. If we have to cut to deep to make it happen, then dont pursue him.

As for Compton and Polumbus. We have to move on from Polumbus. He is bad in pass protection, and that forces RG3 to take off running (both if his injuries happened on a scramble). Polumbus will never be good at pass protection. He is very tall, and unfortunately plays very tall. DE's can almost at will get underneath his pads and push him back. That forces him to plant hard and brace for those hits, which makes the speed rush effective. Unless Kyle plans on helping him out (which I doubt) then we need a better pass blocking RT. Can Compton fit that bill? I have heard good things about him, but would still like another legitimate RT to push him for the job.

Why Lich? Injuries?

To me, the #1 personnel concern for this team and franchise is to acquire people who can contribute to protecting RGIII. We need to fix the secondary and I think we will, but RGIII is at the core of our hopes for a championship team.

With that in mind, I think the Skins are probably looking hard at Winston as well as Sebastian Vollmer and perhaps other FA's at RT. I believe that the Skins would be willing to pay a lot for a quality starter at RT regardless of their cap situation. Somebody on the current roster who they'd prefer to keep would have to go instead.

KC was a bad experience for Winston but I see no reason why he couldn't fit in well here.

I know this much: A lot of Redskins fans, including myself, are going to breathe easier once we get a legitimate RT to help protect RGIII.

Rumor: T Tony Pashos may be a Redskin in the next couple of days.

Makes more sense than Winston, at least $$ wise.

I think that's likely going to be our approach to free agency overall, the 2nd tier value types.

He just had foot surgery and will be out 9-10 months. That would be a useless signing for 2013.

[CRedskinsRule]

Didn't Pashos turn us down, or we turned him down about 2 years ago?

[Skinzman]

Pashos makes no sense to sign now. He will be out the entire season due to a recent surgery (about a week ago) that takes 9-10 months to heal.

[Alvin Walton]

LOL....rumor fail

[Mahons21]

Just reported on 980, working on a deal with pashos... Certainly a value pick up, but right tackles coming off injury worry me.

[Gmanc711]

He just had foot surgery? He was out all of last season, it wasn't something from two years ago that he's now recovered from?

[MTK]

He had surgery last March folks.
