Top Free Agent Talent Available

Burress has been a #2 all his life, not sure if that's what we need. I think we're looking for a #1 receiver. Everyone loves Coles, but he has lost a step and doesn't exactly get the seperation he used to. I like him as a receiver, but he's an expensive #2. If I could have any receiver I'd go Chad Johnson I think, young, talented, hard working!

I agree - Coles is a expensive #2. If he is not able to get healthy, I wonder if he will be on the team for 2006.

I don't believe we need to go for a home run hitter in the free agent market. New England shows, as the Redskins defense did, and the original Gibbs teams overall, that you win best with team first players and not just signing stars.

This isn't fantasy football. You have to think about the whole of the team and how it works together, not just look at 40 times and various statistics which may be misleading.

Hey guys most of you are right, but assure that we don't loose 14-16 games by 7 points or less, we need to sign Burress, at 6-5, he can out leap any DB, and we need to draft Eramus James, for Wisconson, he's the best pass rusher in the Draft, sign and trade Smoot, Garner, and Betts for a low 1st Round Pick, that will give us 2 picks in the draft, I mean, Pitts need a corner, the way they got burned.., but sign 1 veteran CB like, Ty Law, don't worry he will be a free agent, I have a instinct on these things..

I don't think Burress will sign with us to become a #2 WR. Coles and Burress' egos may clash if we get Burress to make him a #1...and vice versa.

Why do people on here insist on signing a vetern CB, when they will want either the same amount or more than Smoot already does? The reason why Smoot may not be back next year is because he wants too much money. I would rather keep Smoot than sign Law, Woodson, Surtan or any other vetern CB, they will want want atleast what Smoot wants and then some. I think that Smoot will be back with us next year after he sees that other teams wont pay him what the redskins are offering.

I agree, there's not a huge need for a veteran corner. Nor is there a huge need for a defensive end.

I can gurantee we're not going to see this much big name turnover on this team. Gibbs is going to make a few calculated moves but the biggest thing we're gonna see is a Gardner trade and some good value free agent pickups. If you remember in the past this has been about the time of year when all the Redskins wishes we're out on the table. This year we hear basically nothing. I think Gibbs is looking for continuity.

I hope u didn't say the same thing for Bailey last year, one team that I know will pay for him is the Chiefs who plan to spend a lot of money on Defense this year. Never underestimate the other guy!! as for other vet cb's if they don't take what we offered smoot then move up Harris, sign Mario Edwards for cheap and wait till next year to get a corner in the first round.

As to the other post about Portis by others being the 'everything' back. Last year we were 31st in the league as a scoring offense, so we can use all the help we can get. Portis is great, I don't knock that but last year numbers in the redzone speak for themselves.

Portis suffered from a total lack of a passing game. Not hard to stop a redzone offense when you run off a guard 3 times in a row.

True but the blame doesn't just fall on the passing game because all 11 players were on that field and things need to be changed. as well as coaching decisions

When a team doesn't respect your passing game and can successfully rely on putting a bunch of players in the box, especially against a scheme that will rarely spread you out, it takes a lot of blame away from Portis and onto the QB, WRs, and coaching staff.
