2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)

NFLPA president Kevin Mawae puzzled he's still free agent - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5143344)

If we are adopting the "Win NOW" philosophy, then why the hell isn't this guy on our roster? He is heads and shoulders better than anyone we have right now as an interior line.

If we are filling spots with winners and old guys, UHHHHHHHHHHH, why not Mawae???

(plus, according to the story, the guy could be gotten for a frikkin song)

I was going to post something similar too. Seriously, since Shanny is so big on competition at every position, bring him in. What competition is there on the OL. In that other thread, everyone on here pretty wel agrees who are starters will be. Even if we just signed him for depth, I'd bet he'd wind up starting.

Yeah, I'm not getting this at all!

I guess shanahan doesn't feel like the 8 time pro bowler could improve the strait solid line we have as of now.

Shanny can do no wrong????? Like passing Bruce Campbell up in the 4TH ROUND..........?
I'm getting a little tired of the "gotta have faith" BS. Anyone ever thought that he is doing exactly what players usually do when they come to DC? Cashing a HUGE paycheck at their local bank? Sorry, but Donovan mcnabb and Artis Hicks, along with 8 TE's and aging RB's do not get me all excited.

you complain about aging rb's yet you want an 8 time pro bowler no one else wants? kinda like passing on campbell there is always a reason and atleast now that reason is not vinny cerrato

AND that 8 time probowler is 39 years old. I wouldn't be upset if we signed Mawae, but I am not gonna cry a tear if we don't.

Well, the aging RBs we've gotten have had either not-so-great 2009 season (LJ) or had injury issues (Parker). However, Mawae had a solid season last year and given the needs of our line, he could be a solid stop gap. I would go out on a limb and say that he is a better lineman than Hicks.

This team puzzles me when it comes to the offensive line. Don't get me wrong, it's great that they got T. Williams, and hell you could say Capers is nice future depth. But, I see things like this and wonder if the coaches are putting too much trust in the returning linemen. I guess the only thing I imagine as to why Mawae hasn't been picked up is maybe because he doesn't fit MS' locking scheme?

my point is if we are going to ignore the age issue with the RB's, why not get a guy who has PROVEN that he plays at a pro bowl level at the age of 37/38? It seems like a no brainer to me.

yeah i hear you but like i said i am giving our front office a little bit more credit than past years, if both shanny's think that what we have is solid, or they just think he wouldn't fit, or if they are in works with him for a deal right now, i'm gonna trust their judgement...for now

Did we seriously just sign Joey Galloway? Fuckin Garbage.....

We def did. 1 year deal wit the redskins per Adam Shefter.....terrible
