Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013

[Monksdown]

Didn't want Talib(an) anyway. And this is good news because it pressures the FO to shit or get off the pot in the db sweepstakes.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

To be honest, I don't want any of the remaining defensive backs that are left. Looking towards the draft now. I expect 2 CBs and a S in the draft. Safety in the 2nd and CB in the 3rd and 4th.

[KI Skins Fan]

Whatever the Skins do they had better do it right now. There are very few decent CB's left to sign. If the Skins don't move fast there may not be a Plan B available to them. With that in mind, I think we can expect a quick signing.

Can somebody tell me why we need AJ Smith as a GM advisor? That guy single handedly destroyed the Chargers!'

He's here to evaluate talent, not to make any GM related decisions.

wouldnt mind that, but winfield or hall i think would only help. I agree though 2 cbs and a safety. I want Cyprien or Swearinger later in the rounds.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Xavier Rhodes, Matt Elam, Eric Reid, Jordan Poyer, Baccari Rambo, Johnathan Cyprien, Tyrann Mathieu, Shamwow Thomas, Johnathan Banks, DJ Swearinger, Ray Ray Armstrong and more.


There are plenty of Defensive back sthat will be there for the choosing for us next month. I expect that we will get three of them. Not to mention we have Richard Crawford, Chase Minnifield, and Jordan Bernsteine all returning next season. Our secondary will be young next year but I feel we will be fine.

[CRedskinsRule]

the same 3CBs will be available next year(think their agents didn't explain Skins situation to them) and clearly we aren't willing to offer the going rate of $5mil a year. I imagine that would either force restructures we don't want to make, or give up on trying to get FD.

At this point, I would see what Winfield would take, and if not there go with rookies. it may not be the best this year, but it would let us know where we stand as we look at these CBs again next year.

better game plan to score 40 pts a game Kyle.

Cyprien might not make it past SF but I want Cyprien/Thomas, Mathieu, and Swearinger. Maybe with Armstrong as a 6th or 7th rounder.

[Daseal]

I'm thinking we try to sign DHall back and we give the duo of Jackson and Merriweather at safety and hope our depth lasts.

I'm excited for another year of Crawford and hopefully the emergence of Chase Minnfield.

bottomline: 18M gets you the top FA CB + Safety and resigns Zo and FDavis. That's how to define the cap penalty.

True, hey it happens.

[JoeRedskin]

One week of free agency and we haven't addresed any of our needs by signing a top flight UFA, we're doomed!!! I mean, based on how well that strategy has worked in the past, we know it is the only path to success!

Oh ... wait ...

[JoeRedskin]

Chill. Next man up. We had a horrific secondary this year and won the East. Maybe we take a step back, maybe we take a surprising step up (who knows, maybe we get the AlMo of CB's this year).

Relax. Shanallen has a plan and the plan is good.

I agree with you. I didn't think Talib was a good fit in Haslett's defense anyway. We aren't going to be able to spend money in free agency this offseason any damn way. The only options are to make a trade for a corner, draft a corner, or develop someone we already have to replace D. Hall. Jim Haslett and Mike Shanahan should throw the kitchen sink at Richard Crawford and see how good he really is. After that 6-7 game hiatus last season, he came to the forefront. He'll struggle some in coverage but Crawford will make plays on the ball also.
