MT @Mr_KevinJones Team source: Texans OT Ryan Harris likely will be a target for #Redskins, as early as this week.

Makes sense. Harris was injured coming into last year, but played solid for the texans down the stretch.

As a long time (sometimes over zealos) critic of Shanny, I'll take his word over Mara and Goodell's any day of the week and twice on Sunday. But what's done is done.

I think the FO is managing our situation damned well, assuming RT and FS performance improve over last year.I echo the first sentiment.

Secondly, I think they're already improved at RT over last year, assuming you mean marginally improved. Whether or not they re-sign Polumbus as the backup or just give the swing man role to Maurice Hurt, the idea is that Tom Compton is going to have to win the job at RT.

I don't agree with skimping at the right tackle position, but knowing that our lack of resources are going to create a deficiency in at least one area of the team because of limited salary cap space and draft picks, I understand a Tony Pashos/Tom Compton camp battle to be a starting tackle (loser misses the roster).

It's just imperative now that we take our two day 2 draft picks and enough salary cap space to sign about two quality free agents, and fill the three remaining holes (TE, CB, S). To be honest though, if Davis re-signs, they should be able to address all three in free agency, and in position to just draft the best player available.

Shanahan has passed on Ryan Harris 2 times now, is the 3rd time the charm? Probably not

I have a gut-feeling the 3rd times a charm this time around because of the lack of salary cap to work with and he would be an affordable upgrade over Polumbus. And it doesn't appear that they are really putting priority in re-signing Polumbus. Also this time around, there may be less competition for Harris's services since there are a number of Offensive Tackles available in free agency and the Texans don't appear ready to re-sign him.

@Mr_KevinJones: Team source: Texans OT Ryan Harris likely will be a target for #Redskins, as early as this week. Shanny drafted the 28-year-old in 2007

Don't know how legitimate this is, but it's a good sign to me..

Smoke screen? I thought we had no cap space to make any big moves like this:

That has to be a smokescreen right?

I have been saying the whole time we can make at least one or even two big free agent moves.

Smoke screen for who and for what reason?

That has to be a smokescreen right?

It could be a smokescreen to get Toler or Cox. I've read the Pats are also interested in signing Cox. But the way the press conference went today, it's probably a smokescreen for Biggers or Mack.
