Per Clayton on the 4 letter:

D.C. lobbying players: The Redskins came out swinging. They made contact after midnight Friday with 49ers defensive end Andre Carter, Rams safety Adam Archuleta, Chiefs quarterback Todd Collins and Steelers receiver Antwaan Randle El and have them flying in as early as Saturday.

I knew we wanted Archuleta, I think this is Sean "SF" Taylor insurance.

I would also love to see Collins, and Carter, not so sure if Randle El is the guy we need.

But HAIL!!!

so what if taylor stays with the team. then we are stuck with a backup safety making millions

[That Guy]

i don't like the safety signing... rather have a guy like chavous or whatever. R'El would be a great returner and slot guy. Patten may stick around as the #2 this way.

I don't know much about carter, hopefully that's the guy they think will fix our problems. with kampman gone and mathis probably being super expensive, its a reasonable choice i guess.

surprised no word on a CB or DT though. guess that's saved for the draft or tomorrow.

not really. williams will use a lot of 3 safety formations. archuleta played linebacker in college so he will be able to man a hybrid s/lb position for the skins..

just say no to archuletta.bad cover skills and was caught out of position alot this past season.just resign ryan clark and spend the money elsewhere

-Look for the Skins to acquire 'several' big names, and expect at least one trade for a restricted free agent. He expects we'll have several new starters in '06.

-Gibbs and company are gearing up for a championship run and feel they are just a few players away from being serious contenders in 2006.

-Ramsey deal is all but done.

I'll post more info as I get it.

so far so good, A Archuelata (his last name is very similiar to the spanish word for pork chop), carter, randle, and the trade would be B. Lloyde . . .
