ESPN ARTICLE SAYS sMOOT COULD END UP IN DALLAS,THAT WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE,PLEASE NO GOD!!
4. CB Fred Smoot Redskins 4 Has matured markedly as a person and player over the last couple seasons. Aggressive ballhawk with superb instincts, will come up and support against the run.
Projected landing spot: Dallas, Seattle, N.Y. Giants.

yea, Dallas definitly needs a corner. That doesnt mean that they have talked to Smoot or anything like that though.
But...if we dotn sign him, its technically a possability, although an unlikely one in my opinion

If Smoot is a real Redskin at heart, then he won't go......
I'm feeling more optimistic about Smoot and Pierce now that Samuels contract is done.

Technically teams can't talk to free agents till 12:00 tonight. Of course they have already, but keep it low key. If Smoot went to Dallas I would never here the end of it from one of my friend's. I sure hope he doesn't end up in Dallas. I think if he does leave though he will want to go somewhere where he has a legit chance at a superbowl. I can't see him going to Seattle when they have Bobby Taylor and Marcus Trufant. That's why Ken Lucas is leaving. So all we can do is wait.

Here's an idea! With our new cap money, instead of using it so we can trade or cut Coles, we can keep him and use the money to sign our own guys! Coles will be just fine if we can get Rabach and the blocking of our TEs improves. With Jansen back, the run game will open up and he'll be open more and further downfield.
If Smoot goes to Dallas or NY, I will throw up. I like how Pasta still is insistent that the Rolle rumor is true. We'll see soon enough whether he's a giant idiot or just a normal idiot.

I have a feeling we will end up matching an offer for Smoot or just saying we will have to go with Walt Harris. After looking at that list, I don't see anyone I would rather have than Smoot. Hopefully Pierce and Smoot come back after they test the waters. I don't blame them for doing it. They should find out what they are worth and then let the Skins sign them to a fair contract. If they get ridiculous....... Gibbs has already made decisions on that.
Protect the team! (Which means: Lets not screw up our money like we did with Brunnel again)

Thanks Redskins_P. I've been reading this forum for a good while. Any other Nashville Skins fans here?

Yeah. We would probably be better off financially to keep Coles and allocate him to the practice squad than if we released him. I wonder how much of a distraction that would be?:cheeky-sm

lol, great first post, and welcome to the board... I agree with keeping our own and getting rabach and a blocking TE... neither one would break the bank, and after ssmoot + pierce, we should have enough to get a WR (either mason or TJ as insurance) and be happy to sit this dance out...
that'd let us go WR, then DE in the draft and be free to use the rest of our picks on backups and longshots...
