Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013

Makes perfect sense to bring in Grossman as Cousins back up till RG III is healthy. Plus we need arms for camp and preseason.

The roster issue is that we currently have just one guy on the entire roster who can play left tackle. Hurt is probably the backup there. One left tackle to five right tackles isn't a great ratio.


It is March 18th. Once the draft is over, we sign a few undrafted FA's, play a few preseason games we will see where we really are.
I would not be terribly shocked if along the way we pick up another OT or two and Pashos & Trueblood get cut by the start of season. They are rolling the dice with these two, I do not think they are expecting too much out of either. I m not worried about OT, I would be fine with Compton and Polubus at RT for one more year.
CB and Safety positions on the other hand is in serious need of some more talent. Draft will be leaning heavy with Db's if there are good ones there when we pick. But ShanAllen has shown in the past (2011 not drafting Locker) they will not get impatient and reach for need. They rather go with BPA. Smart.

davis + (winfield or hall) please.

Though our cap situation and lack of FA movement sucks now, I have to think that we can pick up one or two of the surprise training camp cuts this summer on the cheap.

Is there a cap penalty for releasing players? People talk casually about signing players, then cutting them during the summer or preseason, but I thought there was some kind of penalty.

It can be a surprise despite the lack of FAs in the Redskins camp. But we are just early in the season!

Yes sir. Hence, for now, patience is in order.

I know we have discussed this possibility every year but it is something we really never do. Unless forced due to injury but even then it is 99% of the time done with our cuts.

That is only the case when a portion of the contract is guaranteed or paid out in a signing bonus which is usually not the case especially with the players we are talking about here ( in particular Pashos or Trueblood ) there would be no penalty.

For Redskins, no doubt Tony Pashos is tough | WashingtonExaminer.com (http://washingtonexaminer.com/for-redskins-no-doubt-tony-pashos-is-tough/article/2524739)

Nice read.
