Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013

Gotta disagree on Asomugha. Anytime I've heard Tim and Pat talk about him on Moving the Chains they both seem to agree that he's lost a step and simply isn't the same guy he used to be. There are better options out there. I don't normally cite BR but this is a good breakdown of him and his struggles.

Qadry Ismail on NFLN reported that the Ravens cut Bernard Pollard and that he was paid $2 mil. last year. IMO we can afford that. Pollard would look good in the maroon and black.

According to @Jason_OTC, the #Redskins restructured safety Brandon Meriweather's contract and saved just under $940,000 in cap room.

Good news.

Any word on Meriweather's health? He was amazing in that one game last year.

His antics still worry me some although it appears he is putting that behind him.

Is PFF looking at the entire history of a player to come up with their player rankings, or just recent season(s)?

That is based on how the player graded out only from the previous season.

So Talib low score is probaby from only playing 10 games, and being put on a short leash when first traded to NE? I thought he looked pretty good in the playoffs though.

I don't buy it either. Sure he might come for a visit but is he really interested in splitting time or being a 3rd down back? Highly doubt it.

I think Mike and Kyle would have Reggie be a slot WR on some plays and then of course RB on 3rd down. I'm sure he'd be down for that .

Where is this Bush talk coming from?

A lot of places...rotoworld etc etc
I just read that if he doesnt get a deal in Detroit he is coming to Washington and then Arizona.

I dont know about the third down back thing.
I think he has enough talent that they could line him up in a lot of different places.
With Griffin, the Butler and Bush in the backfield the defenses would be doing a lot of WTFing.

I don't think anyone pays for performance from 2 seasons ago, not in todays NFL.

Of course not, he's a luxury we don't have room for.
