Which is to say we should fix this fallacy. We shouldn't give three year contracts to role players on the FA market, we should bring in undrafteds (like Brandon Banks, Keiland Williams, etc) to plug the same holes we would be filling in free agency.
I agree we should go after Jackson. I think we should also go after Ike Taylor, who plays the same defense we play.
I would also go after Ngata, Joseph, Greenway, Woodley, Rice, and Kiwanuka because they are really great players who all should be franchised to stay with their current teams. If they aren't, we can use them on our roster.
But we have to stop going after "next best" types in free agency. It's troublesome to pay "15th best in NFL at their position" guys like top three guys at their position, which is the mistake the Redskins continually make.
