Your opinion on the Skins free agent moves so far?

It seems like everyone is pretty happy. I don't think we should pick up anymore 49ers. Remember they are the worst team. Has anyone heard B Lloyd rap?! O and can we please pick up a new kicker. Hows 6 years 30 mil sound, Adam V.?

Free ST

I'm glad someone is listening to me and TAFKAS

Yeah, looks like you were the first person here to ever mention Lloyd, Randle El and Fauria. The trifecta.

Who are we drafting Nostradiehard?

After listening to the three new Redskins in their press conferences, I am convinced that this free agency year has already made history for the amount of talent and upside all of these players bring. Andre Carter is only 26 years old and Brandon Lloyd is 24. In fact no player we have signed is over 30 years of age. Which makes this free agency much different than 2000.

Randle El said it best, He came to Washington because of how they approached him and showed him how he fit in this offense. Al Saunders is to be commended for his approach to the offense because very few players would have agreed to accept a subordinate role to Moss after winning being the hottest FA after the Superbowl.

fauria is 34 ;) but TEs don't count, and i agree with bringing in young guys that could easily outperform their contracts instead of 32 year olds who could never live up to them.

R'El came for the money though flat out. I'm sure he liked a lot of things about the skins, but with equal offers, he'd be in chicago. I don't really think you can expect to be a #1 on a team that has the #2 WR in the league if you haven't even put up close to half his stats.

I have been asking myself all day, "What does David Patten think about all of these new receivers?"



He has already asked JG if he's going to play the best man. Competition is always good for everyone.

i love these moves... I mentioned that we should target these players before the start of free agency and everyone said I had no concept of the cap situation and we couldn't afford these players. hahahaha who doesn't know what their talking about now?

You called Archuleta, Fauria, and Carter? I recall people calling for Lloyd and Randle El, but not those other guys.

But if you did call it, you are a wise one.

Looking back on old threads here are the first mentions of:

Brandon Lloyd (http://www.thewarpath.net/showpost.php?p=121385&postcount=13)

Christian Fauria (http://www.thewarpath.net/showpost.php?p=143198&postcount=29) (he also mentions Archuleta here)

and, shameless self-plug, Andre Carter (http://www.thewarpath.net/showpost.php?p=152483&postcount=6)

There was a lot of chatter about Randle El

It's not often you can go into free agency and get all the players you target, but that's exactly what we did. I'm elated with all the additions because each one fills a need on the team. The safety position had to be a concern because we have to consider ST status at this point. Boy I sure hope he dosen't go to jail because I sure would love to see him and Adam play together at the S positions. Not many would want to cross the middle of the field.

Just thinking back on the success Marshall Faulk, Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson have all had playing with Al Saunders and what excites me most about these moves is the damage Clinton Portis is going to do.

I think CP is going to have a monster year in 2006. Dare I say it...MVP
