Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

[CRedskinsRule]

They will be cutting someone tomorrow, Overthecap had them with 1.9 mill today, the length of the deal lets them give a major signing bonus, and spread it out. But you still think the hit will be at least 4-5 million. Wasn't Sproles release going to free up about 4 million? That or the trade has gotta happen I imagine.

And I'll just throw it out there. Revis at the right price and the right kind of contract would be pretty sweet.

It looks like those big name and big pay days are gone with this team. I am fine with that, just need to make sure we have some good drafts and develop our players in the upcoming drafts.

Gotta be some thing like 55 mil with 24 guaranteed. That makes it roughly worth 6-7 mil this year. Just a guess and the structure could totally be different but still.

I'm not talking about a big pay day. I'm talking a "you've worn out your welcome in two spots in three years and now it's time to rebuild you rep" discounted contract.

[Irrefutable]

Antonio Smith would be a key addition, he would give the Skins pressure from the front 3

Also paying $5+ million a year for an old, or mediocre safety is foolish ( Mitchell, Clemons, or Bethea) ....... get another CB and try DHall at FS, and draft a FS

I guess so, but i think he will still want a deal comparable to the deals given today. If he is released it may help us get Talib at a cheaper price since the Pats have interest in Revis.

Pretty good sir:

Here are the numbers: Source: S Jairus Byrd gets a 6-year deal with the Saints at a max value of $54M, Guaranteed figure is just over $27M.

Lol talking about a 5+ mil for an old mediocre safety, and then you talk about a DE on the wrong side of 30 being a key addition. I wouldn't mind bringing Smith in a low budget, 1-2 year deal, but he's gonna be looking for "I need one last payday before I retire" money.

For the remainder of the FA period I would like to see Graham, Smith, and some decent safety signed. And Sproles if he's released. Then, I will be satisfied.

That's the kind of idea I'm on board with. I don't think there's any young talent left in FA worth giving big money too, I wouldn't mind giving a short term deal to someone like Revis with a lot left to prove. Worst case, he doesn't fill a need, best case, think Randy Moss with the Pats type resurgence.

[T.O.Killa]

so are we going to cut a lineman Chris Chester, Kory, or Montgomery. Or keep them all and cut one after training camp

Every year since 2007 (RIP) I keep thinking to myself, okay this will be the year Reed Doughty rides the bench/plays special teams, and yet every year he's always starting, whether at FS or SS. I like the guy off the field, he's a good guy, hard worker, etc, as a backup you know what you're getting, but in reality there's no way he should be starting. If he is penciled in as the starter for lack of a better option I will starting reaching drave-Josh Wilson levels of insanity.

i agree he is ok as a back-up and ST player, i doubt if he comes back if he is the starter just wanted to stir the pot in here. They will probably add some other guys to the secondary this FA period, but this D for the most part with be built with the same pieces as last year. i just hope that it really was the scheme otherwise this board will explode over Haz again this upcoming season.
