Redskins get to #3 on worst free agent move list with Flowers. I had a feeling they would be on it. What I don't get is with all the glaring holes, the Redskins sign mostly trash in free agency. Those 9 draft picks won't even plug all the holes even if they all turn out to be gems.

Putting Flowers at #3 on that list is a little ridiculous. It's not a big money move and it doesn't prevent them from still drafting a guard. Honestly it's barely even a top 10 worst move IMO.

I have the Flowers move as extremely boneheaded. Belongs high on the list of worst decisions.
I would have been OK with it if it wasn't for the fact that he'll count $3.2M against the cap. That's too much for a guy who needs major, major work. He should have been paid like a guy who was fighting for a roster spot.

Exactly, a handful of small mistakes combined can have the impact of one major mistake cap wise.

No argument there, but sometimes the Redskins deserve the bashing.

If we don't draft a guard and he ends up playing and being the disaster we think he will be, I'd agree with it being a very boneheaded move.

If we don't draft an Interior Olineman its def bonehead.

I agree with this. Is the $3.2M cap hit guaranteed or does he has to make the roster?
What angers me even more is if we go into game #1 with Flowers and Tyler Catalina as out LG's. You can't make that shit up! Why has our FO undervalued LG year after year?

It's why last yr I wanted Nelson so bad, look what he did for the colts as a rookie LG.. Improved the run game and gave Luck more time to throw. They are building a solid roster there.
