Ryan Boschetti signed a free-agent contract with Redskins

Before folks here fall into the trap of annointing this guy as a sure-fire Hall of Fame inductee in the year 2023 after his 14 consecutive pro-bowl seasons with the Redskins, please remember that he played on a UCLA team that lost its last 6 games in a row (first UCLA team in history to lose 6 in a row) and lost a bowl game to Fresno State.

There is a reason he is an undrafted free agent. The odds are 50-1 he won't play a down in a regular season game for the Skins and 20-1 that he won't play a down in a regular season game for anyone.

Delay judgment until you see him play against NFL level competition (not the second half of pre-season games against other guys who will get cut) before getting too excited here.

Speculation is what keeps the world turning!
Lol.

I think Gibbs was saying that the way the league is, and especially with this coaching staff, the potential for at least one undrafted FA to develop into a pro-bowl player is there. But I don't think he had anyone in particular in mind.

Ah, Sports Curmudgeon! Always the cold-hearted voice of reason! Let your passions run free and dream of the butterfly-like metamorphesis of young Mr. Boschetti into a Canton-bound pro-bowl lineman!!!
