I hope he comes back here, but you have to be able to let older players decide their own end.

I think this is exactly what is happening. Eventually I see Fletch realizing the Skins offering as the best he will get.

Before

SmootSmack, do you know who is still out there on our radar?

Well, we're still talking to Demetrius Bell

I had heard we had interest in Anthony Collins but don't know where that went

We spoke to Dominique Foxworth but the interest isn't urgent, and I think he would like to return to the Ravens (at a lower price, at a later date), and the Ravens would want him back it seems. Also, after signing Cedric Griffin, not sure how many just off torn ACL DBs we can take

We had been trying to get Ryan Harris and/or picks from Denver but that seems to have dissolved, for the moment at least

Nothing else really major that I can recall at the moment

As for Johnson, well we've been talking here for months about how he might be on our radar. Especially if the talks with Rex-which went through several ups and downs-fell apart.

That said, even with Rex signed I don't think our interest has significantly waned (though I'm sure it has some). Another thing we've talked about here, the Redskins really wanted to draft him back in 2008 but he was taken a round before we could take him and we ended up drafting Colt instead. I believe it was Scott Campbell who was pushing for him, can't recall though. Lucky for us, the guy who did end up drafting JJ works for us now.

Like both of those OT's but if RH is healthy I'd give the nod to him.

Who were we offering to Denver in return?

Wonder if this was the orakpo trade discussed a few weeks ago.

Personally, I'd like to add Bell. I know he's always hurt, but he's a high risk/high reward pickup that might not cost that much comparatively. I wish we were more active in trying to improve the secondary, but I guess most of the best guys are gone. I'd still like to pursue Tracey Porter though. I guess we'll address the secondary in the draft. I could see Josh Johnson being a solid backup for years to come.

Then it is safe to assume our interest has deminished

Hahaha Break out the draft guides. I'm assuming that $36 million cap penalty really crushed our free agent plans.

I hope he brings a bottle of wine. That is polite behavior for a guest.
