2009 Free Agents

I assume that is a true quote, but I got it second hand. Certainly puts the Saints in a bit of a bind.

Thanks for the update CRedskins, I was curious to know what was going on with Vilma. It doesn't sound like he's going to test the free agent market.

Here is a current list of available FA/RFA Punters. (As of this morning)

Player Name ---------Current Team--------------Status------Ranking
Chris Hanson------------New England Patriots--------FA---------18th
Craig Hentrich-----------Tennessee Titans------------FA-------- 22nd
Sam Koch --------------Baltimore Ravens------------RFA -------- 9th
Hunter Smith----------- Indianapolis Colts -----------FA ---------12th

Either - Sam Koch or Hunter Smith would be a nice pickup now that Lechler is resigned.

Our only current punter is some 24 year old kid named Zac Atterberry I know nothing about him.

That's alright, we can get one through the draft ;)

Plackemeier beat out Zac to get on the team. Now we let Plack go and get him. Have you heard if the kicker from the Bengals has been resigned? There are still some punters out there that are better than Atterberry.

DeAngelo Hall/Phillip Daniels Update - Redskins Insider (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/2009/02/deangelo_hallphillip_daniels_u.html?wprss=redskins insider)

DeAngelo Hall/Phillip Daniels Update

The Redskins are scheduled to meet with Joel Segal, the agent for free agent CB DeAngelo Hall, at the combine today/tonight, according to league sources. The Skins want to sign Hall to a long-term deal and their best chance of keeping him off the open market would be to make a strong pitch this weekend. (If the Skins don't get Hall, and opt to cut Shawn Springs to save $6 million in cap space, recently cut corners Drayton Florence, Dre Bly and Leigh Bodden are all names that have come up in past personnel meetings at Redskins Park, according to team sources, and are players who could interest the team if the price is right (i.e. cheap).

Segal also represents QB Jason Campbell, but to this point the Skins have displayed no interest in extending his contract beyond the one year remaining on it. I wouldn't anticipate much movement on that this weekend. The Skins remain several million over the cap, and Hall could well be the only major signing they make.

DE Phillip Daniels, meantime, has a contract for the next two years, but it voids automatically prior to the start of free agency, meaning the veteran will in fact be an unresticted free agent when the market opens on Thursday. Daniels is coming off of season-negating surgery and the Skins have displayed an interest in re-signing him, according to sources, but signing him now is not a priority and he will get a chance to see if other teams have interest.

When Daniels contract voids the Skins will get roughly $2 million in cap relief, though with just two NFL proven DEs under contract right now (Andre Carter and Jason Taylor), and Taylor a candidate to be a cap cut himself, the team will surely have to find an end or two, and that salary will eat back into that $2-million savings.

Looks like Washington is a goner.

I can understand why but it still sucks. MW had some good years for us.

I GOT IT!!!! We fix our O-Line with the following

LT - Joe Thomas
LG - Logan Mankins

We manage to pull this off and our O-line will be set for the next 5 years.

After the mandatory Pierson Prioleau signing of course.

Here's one more guy who won't be wearing burgundy and gold....
