Redskins Free Agency Thread

[BigHairedAristocrat]

Overall, I am extremely happy with every single move the skins have made so far this offseason. We had gaping holes at QB, needed 1 if not 2 new starting safeties, a CB, an edge rusher, RB, offensive line, and WR.

So far, we have added a STUD Safety, a SOLID RB, and serviceable players at CB, and LG (backup T), and QB. (We also resigned Quick and one of last years linemen, but i don't see either as likely to make the roster.) Before the draft, we will likely some additional pieces.

Basically, I'm happy because i think we've positioned ourselves to take BPA in the first few rounds of the draft. For example, we don't need to reach for a QB in the first two rounds if we don't think the ones available at our picks are of good value, because we can get by with Colt, Keenum, and a later round QB. If we don't sign an edge rusher or receiver before the draft, we may feel some pressure to reach for those, but considering this draft is full of both those positions in the first two rounds, i don't think we'd really be reaching for either position.

Of course it does, he was a Scott Mc. player, Bruce is petty enough to hold that grudge

I agree with QB being the exception, I disagree that we are ok with Colt/Case. To be honest if that is even a competition we are doomed. Keenum should be QB1 as of today by a mile. Colt is not a starting QB, I don't see why we all can't agree on this. Case is good enough to get 5-6 wins, unless Guice becomes the next Zeke in 2019, I don't see this offense scoring a ton.

That is not a logical conclusion. MC was gone last year. We offered him a 2 year, 10M contract and he declined to sign it hoping he could get a better deal elsewhere. Then 31 other teams, many of whom need edge rushers, declined to make him an offer and he missed the entire 2018 season.

He is if you want to go 2-14 and get first overall pick in 2020. Seriously, on a lot of teams he would be a 3rd team QB.

My thought is that if we don't upgrade and went with Colt/Case, it would mean we've focused on upgrading other areas of our team.

Our defense was solid for the majority of last year (although we fell apart near the end and i'm still not sure why). Our defensive line is the strength of our team. Our secondary and line backing corps have been upgraded significantly with the additions of Collins and Foster. If we were, for example, to get an elite pass rusher with our first round pick and some solid DB/LB pickups in the 2nd and 3rd round, our defense could be great.

We could afford to continue running a conservative offense lead by AP and Guice pounding the rock. Old school football. Focus on ball security and control the time of possession.

Disagree. Colt is too old to be a 3rd string QB.

It's irrelevant because Nsekhe never would have signed here even if we matched the Bills contract, because he wants a chance to play, not sit behind Trent and Moses.

But did Bruce Allen teach you 3rd grade math?

True.

IMO Nsekhe's contract just highlights how idiotic spending 4M on Flowers is.

Well yeah, unless you think he's the best backup in the league of course. So with that logic you could say that about a lot of guys.

I am talking talent and ability wise and not considering age.

Frenchie mentioned Cooley's episode 53 and the breakdown of the 2nd down plays.

Cooley also touched on Rogers Cromartie and Flowers.

He said he didn't think Cromartie would help the team in the slightest.

On Flowers, he said he would love to see actual statistics but would guess he gave up more sacks than any other OL in the league. He hedged only a little and said he was athletic enough for a team to take a flyer on him with a high draft pick but was not complimentary at all.

For an actual team employee, this is as close as it comes to an actual roasting.

Ive been avoiding the podcast because I knew we would agree and more apathy would set in. These moves do nothing and seem predictably inconsistent. The fact we go ape shit with a Collins contract and meekly as well as cowardly approach the on going holes on the rosters is disheartening. I don't have any faith in this team and the leadership. zilch. Bruce is a fucking moron who should be fired.

Who on the current Redskins roster would be a starter on that team?

Scherff over RC Thielmann and Hopkins over Zendejas are the only sure things IMO.

Im so happy for you that you are really good at salary cap issues that you actually have nothing to do with, but I would rather just enjoy the game and not be a dick.
