*********************************
Contrary to popular belief, we will be active participants in free agency. So we can discuss Redskins specific free agency news here.

As per previous years, I'm sure there will be multiple threads started when a player actually signs. We mods will handle accordingly

If the news is "Redskins bring in BenJarvus Green-Ellis for a visit" that's probably not new thread worthy. That can go in here. "Redskins Agree to 5 Year Deal with Eddie Royal" is new thread worthy

[mooby]

So just to clarify:

"Redskins hire new janitor" is not thread worthy?

But

"Redskins give Vincent Jackson 30 trillion dollars" is?

[mredskins]

If memory serves me right it went pretty smooth last year.

We really haven't been. Big players in FA over the last few seasons, our last big name guy was lazy ass

[Chico23231]

Needs:

1. ILB
2. Right Tackle
3. Free Safety
4. Strong Safety
5. WR
6. CB
7. Guard
8. QB
9. DE

Need to go ahead and resign Fletch and offer something to Laron. With our second rounder gone, FA a little more important

If you had to make a choice, $8 million a year for a 36 year old MLB who's been a rock for this team on an off the field for the past several years but probably wouldn't see the end of his contract or $11 million a year for a 29 year old WR who's arguably the best on the market but is one suspension away from being out for a year...which would you choose?

Boy I don't even like the question. Damnit. I'd rather the NFL not do some stupid shit and penalize our cap when they shouldn't so we can just have both.

Fletch...the leadership is invaluable...and we can find a WR somewhere else. I think our new QB is going to make our WRs look better.

[Ruhskins]

I just hope they sign Fletcher to keep this guy straight if we do indeed sign him.

Not totally convinced on VJax anyways. Lots of drama there. He fits the mold of the kind of guy we bring in that totally busts out with character issues. Great talent but could we count on seeing that talent used to its full extent here? I'm pretty dubious.

Fletcher, assuming that, for all intents and purposes, nothing was garaunted after next year (meaning we could realease him in 2014 without taking a hit). Given we have 18MM less in cap space that we did yesterday, Jacksons got too many red flags for that kind of investment.

[SFREDSKIN]

You sign Fletcher and then Josh Morgan.
