Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread

Would you trade Rogers and our 2nd rounder for Sproles and a 3rd? Keep in mind it would be the last pick in the 3rd round

I would definitely do it. Either Tryon or Barnes would play opposite D.Hall, we dump Rogers, who doesn't want to be here, and we bring in an instant home rome threat in Sproles.

Ditto, we need those picks more than we need to replace Bricks-for-hands.

Argh. I wouldn't be too pleased. Tryon and Barnes don't make me feel warm and fuzzy competing for that spot. Rogers might be a knucklehead, but he's a pretty good corner even though he can't catch. RB is the last thing we need to be TRADING for. Now if Sproles was free, I'd be all over it, but not at the cost you mention above.

Hard to believe some are upset over losing out on marginal guys like Clifton and Pashos, who in normal years would have barely registered a blip on most teams' free agent radar. I can see people getting upset over losing out on someone like Dansby, but then again if we're turning over a new leaf you have to at least give the new direction a chance. "Winning" the offseason hasn't gotten us anything in the past.

Yep; I mean I want to improve this year over last, but if it means we'll be addressing these positions with better guys next year while giving some guy a shot to start this year, that's better. I'd rather have say, another tackle next year than to have some allegiance to some guy that we brought in on a solid contract and didn't plan on keeping anymore than the year. Imagine we got Pashos and he played decently for us, then you have the dilemma of whether to keep him another year or go ahead and get the stud next year. I suppose you could always cut him after the year or force him into a backup role, but then what was the point in signing him in the first place?

Anyone else read this? I couldn't disagree more with this:

I don't how valid this rumor is so take it with a grain of salt, but we could be bringing in Kevin Mawae tomorrow

I hope so and I would love a one year rental. It is sad to say but he would be head and shoulders above anyone on our line and he has intangibles that are hard to quantify.

Keep in mind we could always trade down a few spots in the first round, still drafting in the first round mind you, and pick up another team's second round pick.

So now we have a mid to late round first rounder, a second rounder via another team, and a third (from the Chargers). In that scenario, we've essentially traded 'Los for Sproles straight up. Not quite, but you get the point.

You can't help but think that had the Skins signed Pashos, Clifton, Dansby, etc. we would be reading an article from this guy saying here we go with the same old free spending Redskins.
Yeah, lot of panties bunched now that they can't make fun of us for making it rain, so they have to attack from a different angle.

What about Montre Holland the OG from Dallas we're trying to score? Y'all trying to tell me he's not better than Will Montgomery? He wouldn't give Dock a run for the money?

hadn't heard anything about that until your post
