Redskins General 2020 NFL Thread

What about signing Warford. Saw he was asking for 7m per year.

He plays guard though right?
IMO guard isn't the issue. Scherff and Martin at G is fine by me.
My issue is LT because we have no guarantee that Charles' gonna be NFL ready by September, especially with a shorten offseason. I'd really feel more comfortable if we brought Donald Penn back on a 1 year deal.

I agree with you.. I'm kinda surprised by Redskins' lack of urgency on LT, I suppose they are content with Lucas taking over the spot if Charles isn't ready by then.

I know just a couple of posts back, I really liked the idea posited in Hogs Haven about Scherf to LT.

But ... having read THIS ... I really like this too ... lol

Peters at LT, with Shaddiq Charles backing him up seems like a strong combo.

Then Cornelius Lucas can battle Morgan Moses for the RT gig.

That seems to address two questions marks on the line pretty well.

I agree that adding Peters with Charles as backup creates a real competition at RT where competition is needed. Moses has gotten worse and worse. Indeed at the start of the off-season I thought the major improvement in the O line would be the replacement of Moses. Then we made the series of moderate at best o line signings and all of a sudden it seemed like Moses was being counted on for stability on the O line. THAT is not a good idea. Adding Peters and them having Lucas compete against Moses would be a really strong move.

Yeah ... the line would take shape pretty well ...


RT -- Moses VS Lucas
RG -- Sherff
C - Chase
LG -- Battle of the Wes-es Martin vs Schweitzer
LT -- Peters (backed up by Charles)


That's pretty serviceable.


The good thing about Rivera wanting positional flexibility with his players, is there are options within the O-Line players on the roster. Not to mention increased depth when injuries occur.

Another good reason to add a vet to the LT mix is to give Charles a solid mentor for a season or two.

I understand the interest in letting Martin v Schweitzer battle it out .... but I’m having a hard time not automatically saying yes to adding a 29 year old pro bowler for 7 a year. That’s an immediate upgrade, we have cap space .... you have a chance to immediately upgrade from an unknown situation to a pro bowl situation.

Plus injuries. I’m sure even if we sign warford, Wes or Schweitzer will get starts.

I don’t know. What if scherff gets hurt again or doesn’t resign with us?

You are absolutely 100% correct. Yes, we are building a team but some people seem to miss the point that we need to do whatever it takes to keep our young QB upright so he can learn his job and not have his body wrecked. I have no problem whatsoever with signing both Warford and Peters to 1 or 2 year deals. We have the cap space.

By adding those two players we might even be able to win while team building. That would be ideal in my mind.

There is nothing wrong with continuing to draft and develop young O-Linemen while using quality vets as short-term starters for now in order to protect our starting QB. Whenever a young player can beat out one of the older players he can start.
