Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013 Part II

Allen knows where all the best hootchie kootchie bars in Tampa Bay are.

Road trip!

Teams schedule their own games for the 4th preseason game. Perhaps the Allen connection to Tampa is why we're playing them again. Just my guess.
I feel like we have played them for the last five years

NFL
The green league.

Only if Silverblunt, TJax and Fred Davis ran things

I sure hope we can take a shot at Tyson Clabo...don't know much about him, but it seems he was considered the Falcons best OL and he plays RT....one of our top 2 needs RT and Safety.

I would think this may be a game changer in priorities...I'd rather have a solid RT than a old and solid slot CB in Winfield.

How much would he cost us?....like 3.5M a year for 3 yrs?...he is 31 yrs old
I would think that is around what we are offering Winfield...except probably a 2 yr deal for him.
What do you guys know about him?
Is he worth changing our strategy to acquire?
It seems fans of most teams needing a RT are slobbering over him
Let the drooling commence!

Is there any reason they can't offer a contract that is backloaded so this year is a small cap number and it grows next year(s)?

As much as we need a healthy starting caliber RT I hate the idea of bringing in another aged vet who may/may not play at a higher level than the scrubs we already have. But then if RG takes the kind of beating on drop backs he did last year we could well see another concussion or major injury. So ya, you gotta sign Clabo or whoever the best FA RT prospect is right now. Short of cutting Fletcher, any other possible move is probably worth it.

for one, I'd rather have Winston who is fits the ZBS and is younger. Clabo is a really good RT, but I don't think he fits the ZBS.

secondly, I'd rather have a player in the secondary and draft a RT and have Compton/draft pick/pashos/trueblood battle it out in camp.

Agree, Clabo's going to be 32 this year. Winston is going to be 30 this year and should have a lower cap value. Would rather prefer our recent trend of 26 year old vets that can give us 5 years of development than 2 years of overpaid retirement (I realize that a 1-2 year deal may be attractive given cap concerns this year). Andre Smith would be the prototype age for a free agent for us, but he'd be too expensive.

Ideally would love for one of the recent draft picks to settle into this role, was very hopeful for Compton last year. But perhaps otherwise Shanny can pick up a good star mid-rounder O-lineman like he usually does. A lot cheaper and longer lasting solution.

The best O-line is a young one that stays together unchanged for the next 10 years with RG3.

I can hear Pashos saying in a Rodney Dangerfield voice, "I get no respect."
