Leroy Hill A Free Agent!!

I like MW alot too and think he may be back, although we did sign Robert Thomas. MW looked to me like he had lost a step last year. But he brings such a great attitude and is a good locker room guy.

U know what bro the more I thought about the Thomas signing it makes sense that he is our backup WLB. We haven't heard anything about Khary Campbell returning to us, who was a great SP guy but the coaches did not trust to play on defense. With Thomas they have a guy who can be a legitimate backup to Rocky. I bet we still address SLB. Hill would be awesome but he'll probably be too expensive to our cap unless we cut some guys to make room. Daniels or Wynn could go and maybe Rock if we draft his replacement. I can't really think of anyone else.

...so it's probably Marcus over Hill right? I luv, luv, luv Mr. Washington and will be thrilled to get him back. He deserves to play on this defense, which he's carried off and on since '04.

Haha, Lavar Arrington anybody? I heard a rumor he is available.

According to JLC the team has not shown an interest in Hill.

Any word on Levi Jones from Cincy?

Yeah, I think you are right on about Thomas and the Will spot.

As for Hill, we'll have to see how the bidding works out. But if he wants near the $6 mil that he turned down from Seattle, we'd have to cut even more players than you mention. I don't see that happening.

I think Thomas said the other day, the weakside is where he feels most comfortable and where he wants to play.

One rumor that is driving me crazu is the Orakpo might line up at linebacker. Redskins Insider - Skins Not Expressing Interest in Leroy Hill (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/jason-la-canfora/skins-not-expressing-intitial.html)

This tends to ruin DE, i forget his name, but the Texans drafted a DE and tried to move him to OLB, and it failed miserably. Leave him at his natural position, let him develop at DE.

In the post-draft presser yesterday Zorn said Orakpo would be pretty much a hand-on-the-ground defensive end.

Thank god. If they mess this kid up I will personally kick some FO ass.

Hill will definitely cost more than the Skins want to put out to address the SLB
situation.. There are still more options in the draft and with Orakpo's versatility,
He sometimes lined up as a LB in Texas, We might see a hybrid of DE/LB. I think
we will also be resigning MW, who I still love, too.

I agree 100% and think Marcus "losing a step" was due more to injury then anything else. If he's healthy, he's more than good enough. Players aren't horses, you don't shoot them after an injury. He can come back and come back strong.

I agree with you that he is more than good enough.
