RGIII'S knees are the pure image of perfection. One cannot approach them without a veil over their eyes and having purified your heart by bringing Art Monks jersey to lay down before them so that you kneel on hallowed ground. Perhaps you might see visions of the pureness of his knees in a burning effigy of roger staubach. Now, Matty for your blaspehemy of RGIII's knees, go say 3 hail joe gibbs.

I saw RGIII's knees in my taco bell burrito. It was a miracle. The place is now a shrine.

Chill already. Free agency just started. Given our cap situation, we all knew we wouldn't b active until the market settled. It's highly likely that our 2013 starting rt is not on our roster right now. So far, we've signed 2 tackles to backup money. More moves are coming. Some of you need o Stop being whitney little b****es and exercise some f***ing patience.

Sure but, conventional thinking is that the "backup" money used to sign Pashos, Trueblood, Kehl, and Golston could've landed a true starter without injury bugs and/or baggage. Money is tight; so tight that the money being spent now should be used to sign the rookies. That's why I think more roster cuts and contract renegotiating are looming.

If only 'sources' would help media out. MT @bigbaby12345: @russellmania980 GOT HIM! My sources say Talib to the skins 3yrs inside RP source

Aqib Talib could very likely be a Redskin!

BUT maybe @bigbaby12345 isn't the most credible source. Ugh, the age of twitter.

Wow. @bigbaby12345 could've really beat Shefter to it?!?!

Pump the breaks for now.. #Redskins are close with Talib but still have to tie up Davis. Have to be creative working deals #Patience

HTTR24-7 is credible.

You foolishly believe that resigning those players comes at the expense of signing a "starter." Your "conventional thinking" is nothing more than your own uninformed assumption. The skins can still free up about 14MM in restructures. You criticized the guys we resigned but they're all essentially making the vet minimums. We have to have 53 men on the team, and only 22 of them are starters. so far, were filling the 31 backup positions. When the market settles, we will sign a few good, quality players to reasonable contracts. We won't overspend, like the cards did on Lorenzo Alexander. They gave 3MM a year to a special teamer. That's stupid. The first few days of free agency, almost every team OVERpays for certain players. Right now, the market is literally flooded with comparable quality CBs. Why overspend on one now when we can wait a week or two when the market settles, and get one of comparable talent for half the price?

I would like to see them pursue Winfield, he would probably be a cheap signing. What's the story with Tanard Jackson, is he a FA or still w/ skins. He will be eligible for reinstatement on August 31, 2013

basically he's still on the team and I'm pretty sure he doesn't count towards our cap.

I noticed that Jammal Brown was cut with no news of it occuring. Interesting.

He is still with Redskins. He signed one year deal with us last year but since he was suspended, thus his contract moved to next year. But I don't know when he would be eligible to play. If I remember right, someone said that he won't be able to participate any kind of activity with Redskins until Sept.

I pulled the reinstatement info from Wikipedia, so September sounds right. So if we get Talib, Jackson, we could be rolling the dice. They better keep their act clean, I still would like Winfield.

Meriweather/Jackson for safeties
Talib/Wilson/Crawford/Minnifield for CB (Winfield if no Talib)

On paper it looks like a nice, then there's reality. It just might happen.
