Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013

Packers put a 2nd round tender on Sam Shields. I wouldn't mind that trade actually

If we had a first or even an additional 2nd or 3rd I wouldn't mind either but with only one 2nd I kind of mind.

This Talib talk is smoke imo. He's gonna demand alot.

Eh, I feel like the Skins could sign a free agent like Toler and get near the same value and still keep their second. Maybe if the Skins had a first round pick but obviously they do not.

we have BIG issues,no cap space for a starting cornerback ,and we are in desparate need of a right tackle (should just sign polumbus at this point)and not to mention fred davis ,we are screwed big time with this cap hit, could take a step back this yr.,... its sucks

I wouldn't.

I'd rather cut Moss and do a few more restructures.

I assumed that Moss would need to be cut to acquire Talib and Harris. But I also assumed that more would need to be done beyond that. Thus, the thought of cutting Fletcher, as well.

I have great admiration for both Santana Moss and London Fletcher and I don't look forward to seeing them go but everybody is expendable if their loss advances the needs of the team. To me, the Redskins are on the way up but they're not quite where they need to be to contend for the championship in 2013. The Skins may well be a better team in 2013 if they keep Moss and Fletcher but they may also be a better team in 2014 and beyond if they were to cut them now to acquire Talib and Harris, get younger as a team, and avoid becoming cap strapped in the future by restructuring more contracts.

If the Skins were to solve the RT and CB problems now, they would have more latitude in the draft to move up and pick an ILB such as Kevin Minter or Alec Ogletree.

Daseal would say that we need to "do more with less." j/k Daseal

What are people's feelings on the chances of resigning D Hall at a more reasonable price? He said he would restructure so he obviously wants to stay here, and I don't see him commanding interest from a lot of teams.

We have been linked to Talib since he was a Buc. Either he will come to DC or we will help him get a huge contract elsewhere.

As free agency starts, I think we land a moderate priced CB, a couple cheap Safeties (free and strong), and cheap 3rd Down RB...hopefully Justin Forsett.

Im most interested in what we do with Fred Davis. Its been quiet on his front. I think we go with a 2 year deal and bring him back.

I'd be all for it if we can't land Toler or Cason with a lower pricetag. I think Hall's play down the stretch and Pro Bowls on his resume will get him a better payday somewhere else though.

The Pro Bowl is a pointless joke, but when it's on your resume, it gives you some ground to demand more money. Do you think we'd be having trouble re-signing Lorenzo Alexander without his Pro Bowl nod? I think it does have an impact on negotiations, at least from the player/agent side of the dealings.
