How can you not understand? FS was a need last year . OJ was on the market last year. Most fans, including myself weren't sold on Moore as a Starting FS. Obviously this is a mute point, but OJ was on the market 3 days last June before the Rams re-signed him. And had we signed him last offseason don't you think he would've been an upgrade over Moore? That's the point some of us are making.


The coaching staff did not share your view. We would have probably spent too much for him at the time. Moore was given the opportunity to be the starter but he didn't work out, due to a lack of ability or injuries. Of course, you knew that.

But the professional football minds were trying to give the "diamond in-the-rough (Moore) a chance to shine.

In a perfect world, you were right thinking that we should have gotten him earlier. One year later has not deterred his play-making abilities and his studentship of the game.

A name from the past comes to mind: Kenny Huston.

Like this signing alot. Takes a need off the board... hope this doesn't mean the end for Los though. With OJ & Landry holding down the safties, Barnes is gonna be concentrating on CB and possibly eliminate the need for Los. I think Los is pretty underrated... if he caught half the balls he touched he would be considered a top 10 calibur corner IMO. i don't know where we'd find a corner to come in and play better than him.

I think it may be a precautionary step toward preparing for Los' departure. I would guess then that Buchanan stays. But I have no idea. Maybe one day their prince will come.

Los is taking a big chance IMO by not re-signing sooner rather than waiting for the CBA deal to play out. I know it only takes one suitor, but I would guess that if there's a work stoppage, once it's over FA salaries will not be as high, and the no. of FAs out there would flood the market too.

Don't know what the Skins have offered & maybe they really are trying to sign him to a bargain deal for them. If what they're offerring is even avg., I think I would take the bird in hand if I were him.

Prince not gonna be there at 10, Id be disappointed if we spend another top ten draft pick on the secondary.

It wouldn't be my top choice, and like I've said in the past I doubt Dallas passes on him if he's there at 9.

I was just throwing it out there
