Preston Smith

Compton is a free agent.

Should the Redskins sign Mario Williams or draft another pass rusher ?
I think under SM, the days of signing High Profile $$$ guys are pretty much gone
........blessfully

I wouldn't sign Williams.

Signing Williams would be such a Vinny move.

While you can't have too many pass rushers I wouldn't go for Mario. Junior Gallette will come much cheaper for us. That would give us three outside rushers, and as always consider picking one up in the draft who could push Murph.

Mario will be incredibly costly. Resigning Cousins is going to eat a big chunk of cap space, I'd rather save the space. If I'm going to pay for any position this year it's safety.

Any predictions on cap space ? There could be several vets cut and 30+ million of space.... they can carry to 2016 6 or 7 million dollars of space from this year.

I didn't even realize Mario Williams was on the field when we played the bills...but he was. Looked back to see, he had one tackle. There is no way I would want this guy

I'll put pen to paper sometime after the Skins get bounced from the playoffs, but I'm thinking after signing Cousins there will be 15M in space or so.

you must be assuming Cousins gets 12-15 million and no vets are cut

well, MW wasn't used well in buffalo this year, last year he was great for them.

that said i wouldn't want to be in line to pay him. 30, still has some years left, but he'll be overpaid for sure. and that extra money over JG or whoever else probably wouldn't be merited. you'd also get stuck with expensive dead years after his play declines (which is likely), so i think making no move here is the right call. too much risk.

and as other have said, guys like kirk or dj and compton etc etc are going to need some money, they're much safer investments, since we've already seen them work in our system and how they fit in with the other players on this team.

Yes pretty much. I think you might see one or two move on, but I think McCloughan really values the tone they help set.

But I could be off by about 5m, who knows. I like to do the math each year, but haven't done it yet. Still too much in the moment with this playoff team.

Hatcher is probably the one I'd think about moving on from.
