Simeon Rice released by Bucs then Broncos. Now a Colt.

Gibbs said the 'Skins weren't interested, for what it's worth

Where did you get this information?

I feel really good about our defensive situation this year. Particularly Golston and Montgomery. I think the fact that we didn't go out and draft or trade for any lineman has to make these guys feel good.


You must be high!
Golston is a solid backup, not a starter....and Montgomery wouldv'e been cut last year if he wasn't a young draft pick....I hear good things...but the way they were last year....yikes...
If we cant improve on DT...we need to do it at end.

A MLB aint gunna do the job of a DT. and a LB aint gunna do the job of a pass rushing end. We need Rice, or Strahan or someone that can sack someone.

If we've got 2 linebackers doing the job of 2 DLine, that means were essentially playing with 9 players on D!
UGH!

Thanks twice....once for telling us that any Rice deal is dead on arrival and two....your youtube link is hillarious!

SO that means that we probably are interested.

I have one for you concerning the signing of S. Rice...NO!

Lets not, have another Deion Sanders, Marc Carrier, etc. It's just not worth the money. Yes, our D-line is questionable...however, he not worth paying the big contract to for the limited amount of return you will get from him. I past post said he has 12 sacks in 2005. Did we fail to realize the 2005 was 2 years ago?

This is the one "splurge" of the offseason that has been rumored for the Redskins that I strongly hope that we do. We all can agree that Rice would be an upgrade over wynn, daniels, evans, and even carter for that matter. I've seen some people only wanting him to play on passing downs...please....hes better against the run and the pass than the guys we have now. Let's say we offered him a one year 4 million dollar deal or something of that sort, what would that hurt? He's in for one year, if he helps us he helps us, if we see early he isn't healthy he can sit on the bench and we can give him the money we had the room for anyway and send him on his way the next year.

I think he would be an added benefit to our Dline

Simple answer to Rice. NO THANKS.

Okay I just saw his (Rice) stats on NFL.COM, an all he's done is averege about 35 tackles a season, play pretty much every game a season since he's been a starter, and just flat-out ring up qb sacks. I say if the money is right, and if the coaches think he is a good fit, why not sign him. His stats are WAY more solid then anybody we have at that postion. Oh that's right, he doesn't play cornerback. There goes another missed opportunity to better our D-line.
