Dwight Freeney to Skins?

skins009 · 02-19-2007, 10:13 PM

Are you kidding me! I would trade the 6th pick for freeney in a heartbeat. This guy is arguably the premier pass rusher in the league. You think you can find a player of his calliber with the 6th pick??????

He is worth alot more than one first rounder, and I seriously doubt Indy will part with him easily.....

The point is he will be too costly, cap and pick wise. Not worth it.

It's not that simple though. You have to trade two picks (two firsts I believe) plus compensate Freeney equal to what the Colts are compensating him.

Well considering they drafted him late in the first round...I would think that its possible to find a player of that calibur with the 6th pick in the draft.

Not nessiciarily with our front office lol, but I do think you can get a player that good, easily.

There is no way Indy is going to let him go to get some draft pick that they dont know could replace him. Indy is keeping him.

NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

1. Andre Carter and Freeney play the same position. That would mean a zillion dollars would be tied up in the RDE position.

2. Bill Pollian has stated that Dwight Freeney is not going anywhere.

Dumb rumor.

That Guy · 02-20-2007, 05:50 AM

stupid rumor. no way.

dmek25 · 02-20-2007, 06:12 AM

no way. most of freeneys sacks come when the colts have a big lead. and i think he only had 4-5 sacks this past season. for the kind of money he is going to get, he needs double digit sack numbers. or playing alittle more stout against the run

GoSkins! · 02-20-2007, 06:40 AM

I think this thread is nuts. I can't believe I'm replying...but I'll speak to the Freeney as a Redskin idea.

After watching the Colts in the playoffs, and specifically Freeney, I didn't notice any real impact that Freeney was making over the course of the games. He wasn't as bad against the run becasue he scheme seemed to be for him to keep the runner inside so the the LB could make the tackle. He seemed to be able to do that. No big time sacks though, and only a bit above average pressure.

Williams is getting that and more out of Carter already. Plus Carter seems to be getting constant pressure on the QB. Against Eli Manning, Carter was all over him even though he only got 1 sack. We have our pass rushing DE right now.

Please, forget about Freeney.

firstdown · 02-20-2007, 08:55 AM

The Colts have said that Freeney will be playing for them next year. I heard that on the Mike & Mike show this morning. I can't remember if they said this or if it was part of the news update they do every 15min but it was reported that Dungy said this.

We need a team of no-names who have some talent and an intense desire to succeed...........you know, team guys! We don't need any more 20m dollar men.
Look at the Great Skins teams of the past. VERY FEW pro bowlers came out of those teams, but they were Dominant. That does not mean we can't have an indiscretion or two in the FA market.
Everybody knows the Hogs, but other than a Redskin fan, who can name them?

Gotta disagree in a big way. The Redskins had a TON of big-talent, big-play guys during Gibbs' first tenure. See Riggins, Monk, Clark, Sanders, Didier, Jacoby, Bostic, Grimm, May, Butz, Coleman, Green, Manley, Mann, and the list goes on.

I would hope to God that doesn't happen. too much money tied up on DE's that play the same position. Plus they are basically the same players (carter and freeney) Neither are true studs vs the run any way.
