Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013

Rich_Campbell: Saves Redskins $8M in 2013 cap space. Least surprising name of the day. RT @MikeJonesWaPo: Redskins have released DeAngelo Hall, source says

Really don't understand why fans get so crazy over Lorenzo. I like the guy a lot, he's a good dude, but at the end of the day he's really just a glorified special teams player. He's never really stood out at any of the other positions he's played at.

Good to have for a multipurpose player in case of injury and we need someone to step in that moment, but the thought that he could go somewhere and be this starting LB or anything else is absurd.

Great locker room/character guy. He brings intangibles every team wants/should want IMO.

Delmas has yet to have a complete season.
Also the Lion fan jabber is that his oppurtunities have come because their defensive line created them for him.
He may be an upgrade for us but I wouldnt get to geeked about it.

Given our $$$ situation, we likely won't get anyone to be "geeked" about. Upgrade players are good enough for now.

Louis Delmas would play strong safety?

I think we should add a free safety at a low price. Corey Lynch anybody?

Oh, there will be geekiness.....
there will be

I agree. I know I'm in the minority on this but for the overall money picture I'd cut Fletcher and re-sign Alexander to a multi year deal. Alexander is a 'glue' guy that good teams keep around.

Love Fletcher, but 38, he's got one year left, last year he had a great 2nd half but the first half he looked old, slow, missed tackles and got destroyed by TE. If we didn't have the cap issue, I'd be 100% on bringing him back. But since we do, I'd rather see us go with Robinson/Riley at ILB with LoAx and another mid level backup. No need to part with quality depth/ST ace long term vs. a farewell tour for Fletch.

Not surprised about Hall. Was never a big fan but he did play pretty well down the stretch last season.

I hope we re-sign Hall. It's not very often a guy says he wants to stay on with his team and openly says he'll take a pay cut to do so. Hall is a baller and the more I reflect on the season I like his fiesty ways. Our defense can be flat, lackluster in long stretches outside of London's tremendous effort/focus and Hall's edge.

agree

Imagine this 4:30 presser with MS and BA together:

At 4pm, Mr Mara and Mr Goodell, along with the other owners in the NFL, were served with an injunction on all actions related to the blatant extortionary tactics, and we intend to disregard the 18M salary cap penalty. If any FA acquisition that we try to make is denied on grounds of the salary cap penalty, we will immediately file the appropriate legal briefs regarding unfair constraint of trade acts.

Thank you and have a good day.

ok, I probably got all the legal terms wrong, and it probably won't go down like that, but I would just like to hear the words "Mr Mara was served", If that's bad, then sue me :cheeky-sm
