Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?

There is no way in hell Baltimore lets Ngata walk.

They shouldn't thats for damn sure... He will be a free agent though and has been underpaid for a few years. He's played the NT and DE position for the Ravens.

Is that all? Why not add here that he should try to convince Atlanta to trade Matt Ryan for Donovan McNabb even up? Or maybe get DeSean Jackson for Albert Haynesworth even up? Those would be good moves too...

Ryan and Jackson aren't free agents.

Well I'm sure at this point and time most players will have each others backs considering the CBA and all but I was refering to players having the Shanahan's back in this case. Apparently they like what the coach's are doing and how they are handling things.

And as I said, I believe that the Redskins players agree with the way it's being handled because they know more about the situation at hand than say, practically anyone from another team or former players in the media.

Without tags or smilies, it's harder to detect sarcasm. It was just a false negative.

I like both those names ALOT. Kalil the center in Carolina and Vincent Jackson are 2 names Id like to be hearing after those 2.

If we get one free agent I want it to be Kalil. Regardless of the offseason strategy. He is considered the second best center in the league by ESPN and in all actuality he's probably a much better zone blocker then the leagues premier guy, Nick Mangold. And just to sweeten the pot, remember this, he's more highly regarded then Alex Mack. That's how good Kalil is.

I think the McNabb thing is a bit overblown. People know that Shanahan has won a lot of games in this league doing things his way. If you perform you've got nothing to worry about. Can we sit here today and really say that DM was performing at a high level? Anyone?

DM has won a lot of games in this league as well. Can we sit here today and say Shanahan is performing at a high level? It's really hard to tell at this point.

I have to agree with the OP, I would be hesitant to send my guy to the Redskins org. in fear of deflating his value in the future if he didnt live up to Shans expectations.

I'd say yes. This team was coming off a 4 win season against a ridiculously easy schedule. Yet they were able to pull off 6 wins and would have had about 8 had they not had to deal with kicking troubles. A new defense and a new offense yet with the exception of the Giants and Eagles they were able to play hard week in and week out. So maybe not a high level yet, but personally I like the direction the team is headed.

I bet some players appreciate the fact that Shanahan does not coddle players the likes of McNabb/Haynesworth. Shanahan could give 2 sh!ts what people think about him and is all about winning. That is the kind of coach you want to play for if championships are your end goal.

some players like it, others hate it.

DM had a significant hand in deflating his own value. Were Shanahan's expectations so incredibly high? I mean we're talking about a QB with more INTs than TDs and a 77 rating. Once the team was mathematically eliminated, he shut him down to evaluate Rex.

The benching in Detroit was mishandled, but the drama over sitting him down with 3 games to go is just nonsense, and ultimately the whole DM saga will not be any factor whatsoever in bringing in free agents in 2011.
