2011 NFL Free Agency Thread

The only QB's that can come here are either Matt Leinart to compete for a starting job (because he knows the system), Vince Young to sit and learn, or an UDFA to fill in a roster spot.

NFL.com news: Best, worst fits for Asomugha, Holmes, other free agents (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d820df5a3/article/best-worst-fits-for-asomugha-holmes-other-free-agents)


Huh?

Bad Fit: Washington Redskins
The Redskins need more firepower in the passing game, but the presence of a starter (John Beck) with a popgun arm makes the situation a poor fit for Rice. Beck lacks the arm strength to throw the ball down the field and that would limit Rice’s effectiveness. The money the Redskins can throw at Rice will certainly be enticing, but he would underachieve in Washington due to the quarterback situation.


Santonio Holmes, receiver
Ideal Fit: Washington Redskins
Holmes is the best wide receiver available on the free-agent market and is capable of thriving as a No. 1 receiver in any scheme. While the Redskins' muddled quarterback situation poses an issue, the creative mind of Mike Shanahan could take Holmes' game to another level. Shanahan transformed the likes of Rod Smith, Ed McCaffrey and Brandon Marshall into Pro Bowlers, and he would make Holmes a star

Huge Bucky Brooks fan, but I don't get either how Rice is a bad fit but Moss is an ideal fit? Particularly based on his reasoning of why Sidney Rice is a bad fit

Some more:

Cullen Jenkins, defensive tackle/end

Ideal Fit: Washington Redskins
Jenkins has been one of the league’s most underappreciated players, but coaches and scouts view him as a potential superstar in the right system. The Redskins’ 3-4 would place him at the five-technique, and allow him to use his versatile skill set to become an impact pass rusher along the front. With Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan poised to line up alongside him, he could feast off the isolated match-ups the Redskins’ defensive alignment creates up front.

Aubrayo Franklin, nose tackle

Bad Fit: Washington Redskins
The Redskins need an upgrade at nose tackle, but the team should opt for cheaper options. While Franklin is certainly a strong player against the run, the cost-benefit analysis for the Redskins should lead them to look elsewhere for a solution.

Back to the Orton comments, I would take VY over Orton no question.
