Who should the Redskins Target in Free Agency?

Chico23231 · 03-06-2017, 09:59 AM

Folks, free agency is upon us!

Give me some names you would like to see us target and why. What rumors are you hearing? "Legal" tampering period is soon...who are we getting our tamper on with?

No Cousins discussion on this thread, frankly sick of it.

I think we will be more active this year than any before in the McC era. I think we get one big "Josh Norman"-like signing. Defense should be the focus.

What you got?

What about that one guy, Cirk Kousins?

(sorry, I couldn't help myself)

Give me Hightower

Yup, this is the guy I thought when referring to the Josh Norman-type signing. He comes to mind first. The NT from the Ravens is the second guy Brandon Williams.

To me, the Run Defense needs to be addressed asap.

Brendan Williams and Calais Campbell.

I like Cambell and Hightower but they will be big bucks.
I doubt we could/would want to afford both.
Kenny Britt if we lose Garcon.

Chico23231 · 03-06-2017, 11:03 AM

I just don't think Britt gives us the return Garcon would.

A FA on offense...Ron Leary LG...Would like to see him hired and Luavo cut.

It's buyer beware season!!! I would target no one, especially Britt. He's a train wreck waiting to happen once he gets paid. Wait until that first wave goes, watch for the suckers to overspend ( like we did for Norman) and then get the 2nd tier guys. In the end we're going to have to coach up our guys, resign Baker once he sees he isn't worth what he thinks he is and draft some studs.

MTK · 03-06-2017, 11:53 AM

Campbell seems like another potential Hatcher situation to me. If he was 28 I'd be all for it. At 31 no thanks.

mredskins · 03-06-2017, 12:10 PM

Djax can leave for all i care, he was on his best behavior last year, once he gets paid it will be back to every little injury bothering him. Plus only matter time before father time takes his speed.

PG I feel like we need to keep; it will be hard to replace him.

Chico23231 · 03-06-2017, 12:18 PM

I don't think we can become a better defense unless we add a bigger talent in the front 7. Its a must.

metalskins · 03-06-2017, 12:25 PM

I wouldn't target no one. We have to be somewhat active during free agency. I'm hoping we re-sign Garcon, but if we don't, it makes me think we draft someone like John Ross in the first round and then go defense the rest of the way.

Are there any good offensive linemen available in free agency?

There are some really good players at the Guard position. And a couple Right tackles

Alvin Walton · 03-06-2017, 12:30 PM

All in all I dont see a lot of value or "wow factor" in this years FA crop.
However I think we are going to have to take some risk.
The draft is not going to be enough if we expect to be NFC East champs next year.
