2015 Free Agents

So when was the last Haynesworth-like deal that this team had in free agency? I mean is that why people are so afraid of free agency?

Adding a starter-caliber player to the offensive line, for example, doesn't equate a trip to the playoffs nor does it fix all the problems this team has. But what it can do is to improve the offensive line enough to help your struggling QB.

So, lets say we sign nobody of note. No big money spent except to lock up Kerrigan and T. Williams. Lots of cuts, lots of no-names signed. A clear "We are cleaning the cupboard and starting over" type of offseason.

How much bitching will ensue? Who would have a problem with that?

To a point I wouldn't mind, but you can't just cut everybody who "sucks". Doing that would unnecessarily put us deeper in the hole. Chester, Bowen, and Clark obviously need to go. Guys like Meriweather, Lavuao, and Porter can still help.

I would like that just depends on who we cut.

I agree. If Baluga or Iupati can be had for a reasonable price and they fit what Gruden wants, fine. Good additions both.

At the same time, I am more concerned that the draft well. Anyone we sign in FA now is really a band aid as we transition to the Scot McC era. It took four years for SF to become a consistent contender. Even if these guys are 26 out of their first K, they are just gonna be stop gaps as we, hopefully, build for the long term.

No. It's because free agency rarely works. You rarely get the same player that you think you're getting, for whatever reason. There are numerous examples all around the league and on the Redskins roster.

I'd probably pass on Iupati. He's going to be too expensive. I'd hope that they pencil in Long at guard and draft a starting RT.

I hope we sign no BIG name's during FA, i will take the lumps building thru the draft.

Spencer Long? The guy we drafted last year that wasn't good enough to play, let alone start, this year? You want him "penciled in?"

WHAT gives you any indication he should be an NFL starter for a QB who is currently struggling????????

I'm being totally serious also. If you can provide me with ANY credible reason to start this guy let me hear it, otherwise all this lobbying for Long needs to stop.

We do need to chill in free agency. We just swiped djax last year. If its not a free agent olineman which in that case id take best available ready to play lg, rg, or rt. No luavos lol what a joke. If not oline a safety but thats the position i want us to take our first pick with.

I take that slightly back. I wouldnt mind a pick up here and there after looking at that list. We were so bad. Oline / defense. Oline / defense. All we need fellas lets go
