....The Washington Redskins reached agreement today with left tackle Chris Samuels on a contract extension, sources said, providing the team with more flexibility under the salary cap to pursue free agents.

But, with the NFL free agency period beginning at midnight, a last-ditch effort to revive a trade that would send disgruntled wide receiver Laveranues Coles to the New York Jets appears to have been abandoned, increasing the chances that Coles would remain with the team next season. ....

yeah were about to make a tsunami of a splash its the calm before the storm

I hope they get a CB and a WR and that's it. Maybe a DE. Just keep/replace Smoot. Replace Coles and Gardner. Maybe a add a pass rusher and then just chill. Don't shake up the whole team again.

get a defensive end also....probably wont happen in the draft so look at Reggie Hayward.

Hey this is GOOD news for a change............... :headbange
In addition to DE and WR I think the team also needs a Center and a guard ......protecting Ramsey, a true pocket passer, and making holes for Portis is a PRIORITY otherwise our offense won't improve, although a healthy Jansen should make the line better..............

I agree that our offensive line is our weakest link. Add a good center and guard wold have a hugh inpact on our running and passing game.

Like I have said over the past couple of days Coles is not going anywhere. To big of a cap hit.

I wouldn't take that to the bank, I'd be willing to bet Snyder is frantically working the phones as we speak trying to work something out at the last minute.

It's about f*%n time.

Don't mean to put a sour note on the news but I hope Samuels' new payday will not hurt his play on the field. The guy's been playing for a new contract the last few years and has been far from stellar. Now that he has his money I worry that his performance may become even more lackluster. This is probably his last big payday (given his age) and I hope he still has some fire left in him.

Remember Samuels is no longer an up-and-coming rookie with his best years ahead of him. Soon he will be referred to as an aging vet and I just hope his play will keep pace with his cap number in the future. Of course knowing the details of the deal will shed more light here.

That being said, I can't wait to get Samuels' ugly cap numbers off my sheets!

TheMalcolmConnection · 03-01-2005, 06:23 PM

Even though I'm pissed at Coles right now. I would love to see him stay, make some plays and then apologize for being such a douche.

Daseal · 03-01-2005, 06:39 PM

Problem with picking up a good defensive end is these guys want MONEY. Money which we've already secured in our defense with LaVar, Griffen, Washington, and soon (hopefully) Taylor, Smoot, and Pierce. I don't know how many more expensive pieces we can add to our collection! There's a time in a teams life (that time is when they finish top 5 in nearly every defensive category) to leave the defense alone and draft/trade for what ails ya!

azskinsfan2 · 03-01-2005, 07:09 PM

Coles is our "Star" receiver and he only wants to look like a star!! You see Randy Moss, Terrell Owens etc. making huge touchdown catches. Coles only had one TD catch last season, and very few long catches at all. I think with Coach feeling more comfortable this season with Ramsey, he'll air it out more. Coles just wants more attention and more TD's. If he gets that he won't be so disgruntled!! I mean, come on, lead the team in catches with 90 but only one TD!!!

I dont know if anyone here watches Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but in the words of Carl. "Freakin Awesome!"

This kicks ass now we should get OUR free agents signed. Forget about everyone else's until we get Smoot and Pierce locked up.
