Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013

bottomline: 18M gets you the top FA CB + Safety and resigns Zo and FDavis. That's how to define the cap penalty.

True, hey it happens.

One week of free agency and we haven't addresed any of our needs by signing a top flight UFA, we're doomed!!! I mean, based on how well that strategy has worked in the past, we know it is the only path to success!

Oh ... wait ...

Chill. Next man up. We had a horrific secondary this year and won the East. Maybe we take a step back, maybe we take a surprising step up (who knows, maybe we get the AlMo of CB's this year).

Relax. Shanallen has a plan and the plan is good.

Didn't want Talib(an) anyway. And this is good news because it pressures the FO to shit or get off the pot in the db sweepstakes.

I agree with you. I didn't think Talib was a good fit in Haslett's defense anyway. We aren't going to be able to spend money in free agency this offseason any damn way. The only options are to make a trade for a corner, draft a corner, or develop someone we already have to replace D. Hall. Jim Haslett and Mike Shanahan should throw the kitchen sink at Richard Crawford and see how good he really is. After that 6-7 game hiatus last season, he came to the forefront. He'll struggle some in coverage but Crawford will make plays on the ball also.

He signed for one year.

My point being that we would have signed him to a multi year deal to spread the impact of the cap hit this year. I highly doubt that we were looking to sign him for a year. That was my point.

Bringing back Hall for a 1 year deal isn't sounding too horrible right now.

At this point I'd try to re-sign Hall and C. Griffin and focus on the draft for more secondary help.

Bottom line. This sucks. We will see ramifications of this cap penalty for the next couple of years. We lost key guys who we would normally have been able to keep. Example : Alexander..... and we can't upgrade at any position for the most part. The only way outta this is if we nail solid starters on 4 of our 7 draft picks.
