Unrestricted Free Agents Who Might Help

Is Demeco Ryans still doing well? What would it take to get him?

I don't think that ILB is a huge priority, just curious.

You can cross justin hartwig off that list because the steelers re signed him a year or so ago.

And you can't give out as many franchise tags as you want, Ruhskins. You can only use one franchise, but I don't think you can use a franchise and transition tag in the same offseason.

You didn't mention Rex Grossman...but I think maybe you should. Not that he would help necessarily, but he might be here (strictly as a Todd Collins)

Mea culpa! I did not mention Rex Gosssman.:spank:

I also did not mention Ryan Leaf - - who is an unrestricted free agent so long as he is not in jail on his pending charges. :pffff:

I also did not mention Jeff George - - who is an unrestricted free agent who can bring veteran presence and perspective to the team as a mentor for Jason Campbell, Colt Brennan, Todd Collins and whomever the Skins might draft in April 2010 at a QB. Those folks need to know the Jeff George philosophy:

Leadership is overrated. :Flush:

Yeah well Rex Grossman is actually a legit possibility to come here

I think there are some solid lineman in fa that we can target, I would love dunta Robinson with Deangelo hall! Talk about a pretty good corner duo.. Rogers is probably done here especialy since he really wants to leave anyway

I can't find a lot of unrestricted free agent linemen the Skins can target. And they don't have a whole lot of draft choices to surrender to go and sign restricted free agents...

My list of OL candidates at the top of this thread is hardly an exhaustive list. These are the guys I saw who I thought might be contributors here next year. I saw no "stars" on the list except for a few linemen in the mid to upper 30s who have had long and successful careers. I don't think that is what the Skins should be looking for.

Grossman could wind up with the Redskins. If he comes here as a replacement for Todd Collins, I won't get too excited about that until and unless Jason Campbell gets hurt - - or the QB that the Skins take at #4 in the draft gets hurt.

If Grossman is here as the starter from the git-go, I think that would be a mistake. He is a journeyman; he's a decent fill-in kind of guy; he is not now nor will he ever be an elite NFL QB.

You know who Rex Grossman reminds me of? Patrick Ramsey.

Would I want Ramsey here as a starter? About as much as I would want a root canal.

Would I mind Ramsey here as a 3rd QB behind Campbell and a young draftee? Not any more or any less than I would mind Rex Grossman in the same role.

I could see us bringing in an older lineman or two, along with whatever rookies we bring in. While I believe that we can and should have a competitive team next year, it will take a few years to get an appropriate mixture of talented 26-30 yo linemen, and youth. With our OL roster so out of whack(having 1 maybe 2 "real" NFL talent), bringing in older, experienced stable players for 1 or at most 2 years, will allow us to shift the roster back into a proper core group.
