2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread

[diehardskin2982]

If VY has a chance to learn and not play the first season it could be promising.

Genius???? lol. I'm trying to give Shahahan the benefit but so far from what I've seen I'll reserve the "genius" comments.

That's what's going to hurt a guy like Young. He's going to probably have to come in and be someones #3.

Too much talent there to not get picked up. He still has a lot of upside.

Does anyone know if there's a freakin center that's unrestricted and can come in here and get Racbach on the bench? We need an anchor in the middle of the line. I'm confused as to why the front office didn't try and find a 320lb monster that has skills...instead of drafting MORE wr's in the later rounds.

guessing that they're figuring that the answer is here whether it's Rabach, Lichtensteiger, Montgomery, or Cook

Not sure there were any 320 lb monster centers available in the draft worth taking.

They did take Erik Cook the year before, who funny enough is 320.

I have never been a Leinart fan.

If they're saying Remi Ayodele is of interest to us, that's the first I've heard about it.

As for Leinart, I talked about this a lot off-season because it seemed like a pretty serious possibility.

I thought that interest had faded away, but heard like 2-3 weeks ago it was still possible. I screwed up here, meant singular not plural (him, not them) but Leinart was the guy I was alluding to when I wrote the following line at the start of the thread.

But I don't think even KS believes Leinart is going to come in and start. He just likes the idea of having someone familiar with the system who can join the team this close to the start of the season.

And keep in mind, as much as everyone expects Rex to re-sign he's a FA so this conceivably could be a replacement for Rex.

"Vince Young still a possibility, but it's possible the Titans hold onto him until the last possible minute. And there are other, perhaps more controversial, possibilities. I'll just say I've mentioned them before"

^ ive been saying for awhile, wouldnt mind seeing what Lienart could do in the B & G. VY, even though not a fan of his past, would be a good signing to bring in at this point. I rather those 2 in the mix than Tarvis Jackson and Beck fighting Rex as the starter.

iF THIS TEAM PICKS UP LIENART, MIGHT AS WELL FINISH 4-12

[skinsfaninok]

anyone have an updated FA List?

He'd never be our starter though.

I say just go w Beck unless Kyle Orton or VY comes to town

[tryfuhl]

So is Harbaugh really sold on Alex Smith or is it how some say Shanny/Beck is?

[SmootSmack]

As the QB of the future? No, I don't think so. As the best immediate solution? Seems that way
