Current 2014 Free Agents

How much money do you think Sproles will get?

I don't know, maybe a couple million tops. If I were the Redskins he's not even on my radar. I don't make that signing at all.

I just don't want to see the same old crap we always do cause that doesn't work. I'd almost wait for the first wave to go by. Let the Miami's of the world overpay and then try and find some solid bargains on that second round of signings.

Some FA signings have worked. I think Sporles at the right price is a bonus for this team.

A lot folks fears is just they don't understand the whole picture $$$ wise and how the cap works; so they think if we do X we can't do Y.

Why not he fills several holes(ST&RB Depth); you got pay someone why not him.

To me Dri Archer is a better option that is younger, faster, and cheaper at this point than Sproles.

Sproles could be Randle el part 2.

im torn on sproles. i would have liked to sign him before 2011 vs now but it seems like he got limited use last year so he should be fresh and it seems gruden places a high value on a catching rb.

cooley made the case for signing hester at a reas price and using him out of the backfield. he also sd hester provides a lot more value in the return game then just retunging kicks bc the opposing teams whole ST spends all week on directional kicking and doesnt have time to focus on other aspects.

i think id pass on hester though. and i apologize for starting every post with what cooley sd but im really liking what i hear from him.

side note - what does a 5 0 ("five ohh") call by the offense at the LOS pre-snap mean? jailbreak/hot read?

In regards to Sproles. Let's remember, it takes two to tango in FA. Think of it from Sproles' perspective. Why would he come to a team that has a young, talented, 3 down type back on the roster and no real hope of winning the Super Bowl in the near future. If I'm Sproles I'm looking for a few things.

1) A competitive team. Get another SB ring.
2) A team that will showcase me in the offense.
3) A team that will pay me.

He could potentially get #3 here, but that's it. I think it would be a mistake for both sides if we went after Sproles. Save that cash and put it towards locking up players for the future. He's nice to have. We already have a pretty nice backfield. I like what I saw from Helu last year and Morris played great again.

What do you mean another SB ring?

From Sproles perspective he is not a running back in the traditional sense, so having a 2 down back on the roster doesn't matter. Redskins have a dynamic QB (when healthy), they are in a weak division, and are one year removed from being NFC East Champs. Can Gruden use Sproles like Payton did? If so it is a easy decision... yes to Washington

Based on ur logic Daseal, everyone would only play for Seattle, SF, Denver and the Patriots

Alfmo's greatest weakness is catching passes. Sproles does this as a strength. Plus Sproles can return kicks.

That said, to sign Sproles is to sign the older and theoretically slower Sproles, not the Sproles of 2010. So I won't miss any sleep if we don't land Sproles.
