Redskins Free Agents

Fred is a very good player, when healthy he's a top 10 TE. We should keep him for sure. Paulsen just doesn't do as much

I agree we have to do whatever we can to get Davis back. That being said, I don't see a 4 year deal. With his injury, I can see a one year "show me what you got" contract before we fork out a long-term deal. Or maybe a 2 year deal like what the Packers did with Finley.

In other news, I think Rob Jackson needs to stay and so does Zo Al. Is there anyone's contract we can restructure to get a few more dolla's until wel get out of Mara Cap Hell?

I see us offering Lichtensteiger a ''cheap'' deal as a take it or leave it deal, because we do have LeRibeus and Gettis behind him who looked great and have potential.

Fred Davis is going to get a similar type of deal as Lichtensteiger; a take it or leave it, since he is coming off an achilles. Plus this draft has lots of TEs much like the 2010 draft.

Rob Jackson you have to resign because Orakpo hasn't been too healthy in the past, and Rob is great depth and smarter and better in coverage than Orakpo.

Alexander is a great ST, but hes going to want a fairly big deal for a backup since he is a pro bowler. I keep saying this, but he may be gone to Pittsburgh. I remember reading somewhere with Fletchers contract, it would be better if he retired and saved us some money and gave that money to Lorenzo so he could play in some MLB packages and so could Keenan.

Paulsen, well you got to keep at least one of these TEs. I've already thrown out James Casey in FA who is a FB/TE. Paulsen is a better blocker than Fred Davis. Paulsen is a cheaper TE than FD, so gun to my head I'd rather have Paulsen, Casey, Draft Pick TE, (and maybe Niles).

Cedric Griffin should be resigned to compete in camp incase the draft pick CBs/other FA CBs don't work out.

Sav Rocca yes, however if in the 7th round we choose to get Brad Wing, I would be completely fine with that. He, like Rocca is an Australian who can boom the ball, and run.

Darrell Young, yes we must resign the 3rd best fullback in the NFL according to nfldraftscout.

Ditto for Sundberg.

Williams, Banks, Jackson, Kehl, and all the other guys should start looking to go elsewhere.

Matty, I was a bit surprised to see you say cut Lichtensteigher so quickly. What's your opinion about the drop off, if any, from Lich to the rest of our guys on the line who would step up if he's gone? Do we address OLine in FA AND the draft? I know "secondary is a primary" concern.

T. Jackson can't even step in the building until he's reinstated, and that won't come until 8/31 at the very earliest. Based on that I can't see him coming back.

If we're talking about Rob Jackson, yeah I'd make a push to keep him here.

TJax can't step into ANY NFL building until 8/31, so in the worst case scenario there's no hurry to sign him because likely no one else will. He can't pass a physical without getting in the door.

All I meant was I could see us moving on in terms of a cap related move. I know Shanny loves him and he's a great fit in this offense, so I also wouldn't be surprised if they make something work with him. Tough to tell right now where we're heading until we start making some cap moves.

More concerned about Right Tackle than rather if Kory L stays or not. Gettis, McRib, or Hurt can step in and play at Guard. Monty and Chester had beast years, not concerned about the interior.

I'd imagine we bring back Polumbus on a cheap deal and let him battle it out with Compton and/or a rookie RT.

Heard Chris Russell on ESPN 980 yesterday. He had a couple intersting points:

- It's unlikely we franchise Davis again. Coming off the injury and suspension, the franchise tag amount is probably too high. He suspects they let Davis test out the FA market, then decide if they want to bring him back.

- In general terms he thinks it will be a very quiet offseason, partly due to the cap penalty. His thinking was they might take a small step back this year, with the idea of taking 2 or 3 steps forward in 2014.

I don't have a problem with a quiet offseason. After all we did win 10 games and the division. Get healthy and build off that and add a couple of new pieces.
