When did Fletcher say they should sign him? If thats true, then I think they will. He was Jery Grays LB, when they were top 5 in the league. Maybe he is just figuring out how much we should pay him.
There was an article in the Washington Times (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/feb/24/redskins-could-pursue-crowell/) that mentioned London Fletcher's endorsement.
Last I heard, he was visiting Tampa Bay.

Well, what I was trying tosay is maybe they made an offer and he did not like it. So, he is out there trying to establish a value for himself that we can match if we want to. Assuming he wants to play with Gray and Fletcher.
Aside from Fletcher supposedly lobbying for him, I haven't heard anywhere that we're interested in Crowell, and I know he hasn't visited either.
I read a few "Redskins could pursue Crowell" articles, but that's about it. Nothing concrete. That said, I think he would definitely help us.

Just a thought, some people talked about trading ARE in some threads, and I thought there's no way ARE would have any value. If Greg Lewis is worth a 5th round pick, ARE would have to be worth at least a 4th rounder, possibly a 3rd rounder (he has better numbers the Greg Lewis). I'm not suggesting that ARE be traded, is just that looking at this trade made me think about AREs value.

I think ARE would make a decent slot receiver this year and if Thomas or Kelly step up that's where we'll see him. I really think he's been out of position since he's been here. That was probably the idea when we got Brandon Lloyd. But to this point nothing has worked out to where we could play ARE at what would be his most productive position.

He does know Wade Phillips Defense, as does Brookings. Probably good pickups for them.

A decent pickup, but a slower, less athletic version of Chris Canty. It's still a downgrade compared to Canty.

Do you think we would have continued to go after Canty had we cut JT earlier?

Do you think we would have continued to go after Canty had we cut JT earlier?Absoultely I think that. I think you have to understand that we were looking at them to play two different positions in the defense, but we didn't pursue Canty because of a money allocation issue, which was less of an issue upon Taylor's release.
