Bob Sanders Cut; Redskins Have Needs Everywhere Including Free Safety

He's missed more games than he's started.

WAY more. In the past three seasons he's played in 9 games. That's less than 20%. No thank you.

I bet Dallas goes after him, thier safties are the worst in the league

Screw that, hes a crip.

Sanders is versatile, much in the same way Sean Taylor was. As recently as 2007, it looked like those two would be up in the Reed/Polamalu class. Ah well, what could have been.

Then put him in at CB to replace Carlos and I'll take him. :D

The Hoodie has tons of picks this year, but if they don't have good safety depth in camp, Sanders is the kind of vet he brings in.

Sanders knock was he always excelled at that position in spite of his smallish size. And that small frame probably explains a lot about the injuries and missed games.

Had another guy on the CowboysBoard bring this up. Just say no. He is on the wrong side of 30, has been oft injured, and is too small for a 3-4 safety.

Can you imagine a guy his size in a 3-4 in the NFC East having to go head to head with Brandon Jacobs twice a season?

Methinks NOT!

Screw that, hes a crip.

According to who? What, do we have too many Bloods on the roster currently? lol Get out of town.

I knew this thread will be made after I saw the news about Sanders.. He is absolutely beast when healthy.. I would not mind if we offer him a contract with small guarantees, however we must not make game plans around him because he cannot stay healthy, evidently.

I really don't think we're so close to contention that adding (even a healthy) Bob Sanders would make us a playoff team, but he's a smart player who would be a good fit here. He'd be a good signing, but then get someone young with future starting potential to back him up on the depth chart (NOT Kareem Moore). The expectation is that Bob Sanders' backup is going to play a crap-ton of snaps. That's why it has to be someone young, if not someone ready for the role.

Sanders isn't going to get more than a one year guarantee from any team, so why shouldn't the Redskins be the team that gives him that one year?

Given Bruce Allen's knack of signing players to low risk contracts, I say why not. I do want the Redskins to address this issue, although I think Barnes did a good job later in the season as a FS. Maybe we can bring Sanders to tutor Barnes as our FS of the future.

Vet min's a funny joke and everything but it's true. Signing these kind of guys on the cheap (if possible) is how you pay off in the NFL.

We've proven that signing guys coming off great seasons is not the way to go, it's the equivalent of buying a stock high and selling low.

Let him sit out there as a free agent for a while, address needs through the draft, then get some free agents once we have a CBA, and then add Sanders on the cheap if he's still available. You can't count on him for much so I think we still fill the safety position need. Then add Sanders for depth.

If somebody else gets him before us and pays a lot, oh well not our problem. But the Eagles got Vick by waiting and waiting. Wait, see if you can get him cheap, keep it low risk, and there's nothing but upside reward.
