I like, but with the cap issue personally I'd cross off VJ and bump everyone else up one. Sounds like Chicago is gonna go hard after VJ.

Matty what do you think Vj will end up getting? Somewhere around 10 million a year?

That seems to be the word

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

I think before the 36 mil over the next two years we would have been ok with that, now its a bit too rich, no?

Tough to tell, depends on what how the Skins are going to deal with this cap thing I guess.

[quote=Jontrem;896940]I think before the 36 mil over the next two years we would have been ok with that, now its a bit too rich, no?[/quote]

we still have a minimum of 13Mil this year (31 mill - 18 mill not accounting for releases and/or splitting the penalty more to next year's cap - which I am sure we will do).

If it's 10 mil/year, over 5 years, and the signing bonus and salary's are structured right I imagine that we would be able to keep the cap hit to around 6-7mil, and still have room to make other moves necessary.

That said, MS and BA haven't really been big name spenders, so even though we get linked to most names out there, it wouldn't shock me if we don't make any big splash signings, and I don't think it would be due to the stupidpenalty-gate.

I agree. Lets get a Royal or Garcon. Our WR group is already young, very fast and has a ton of potential. Not Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas potential, they've been on the field and already proven they can contribute.

I wasn't sold on Vincent Jackson anyways...because of his behavior problems. I don't want to overload this roster with potential suspensions and become the Cowboys or Bengals. It's bad enough Trent Williams and Fred Davis had to be stupid and get themselves on Goodell's watch list.



Solid vets:
Moss
Gaffney
+ FA signing to replace Stallworth

Young contribs:
Hankerson
Armstrong
Paul
Banks
Robinson


These guys will excel with RG3...they did OK with Grossman!



After one decent WR signing like Garcon, Royal, maybe even Wayne if his price is not sky high...we need to get 2 solid O-linemen and hopefully a safety or CB.

Then, with the draft, attack the secondary with maybe another O-lineman for potential depth.



With QB covered now, our main holes are the secondary and O-line....otherwise we're a solid team. One more WR will help, but it's not the urgent need like many are saying.

We need to:

1.) protect RG3
2.) fill out the completely empty secondary, especially safety position so that our down-field scoring attack with RG3 isn't done back to us by our opponents every game.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

The number one guy for me is Winston. Sign him & Carr and I am fine. However, I suppose we need [I]someone[/I] to play safety now ... so we should probably sign one or two of them.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

I say we:

-Sign RT Eric Winston
-Sign WR Eddie Royal
-Sign WR Pierre Garcon
-Draft a CB in the 3rd round
-Im not sure what to do at both safety positions...

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

Get rid of armstrong, isnt he like 29 anyway?

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

[quote=Drewsky27;897183]Get rid of armstrong, isnt he like 29 anyway?[/quote]

Yea, he will be 29 in like 2 weeks. I think one of our rookie WRs from last year's draft could provide the same production plus more than what Armstrong provided us last year. Cut.

$9.90 for an "I like Rex" button?

Must be trying to save up for the legal fees they're soon to rack up.

[quote=Monkeydad;897302]Yeah, the Beck to the Future shirt looks awesome![/quote]

And at 22 bucks it's such a bargain! I thought about designing my own t-shirt last year with this on it but I decided against it. Smart decision.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

I think RGIII would be a great assest to any team that will give him the chance to play. He might be young and he might need some improvements, but that's like any rookie going into the NFL. No one coming out of college and going to the NFL has no flaws whatsoever. He needs to figure out his flaws, and then work on it. Once he does that and improves it then he'll be a great football player!

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

They added weapons in the WRs.
Now they need to add some armor with a RT.

Well said, very true.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

According to Grant Paulsen

Had the skins NOT of drafted RG3, Garcon would have been serving his duties for the San Diego Chargers.

Where's the new thread for Grossman resigning?

Love me some optimism!

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

I know we are in a WIN WIN situation with either Luck or RG3, but I think we will end up with Luck because I keep pictureing RG3 in a Skins uniform so that mean were getting Luck.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

For some reason I can picture Luck in a Redskins uniform more than Griffin..

Let's see who's right April 26th. Win Win but wishing for RG3.

Luck is going #1. Don't buy into the hype.

I'd bet good money on it.

That is usually how it works for me too. So, I'll picture luck in a skins uni to counteract your bad chi and thus griffin will be a redskin. And on the plus side, if we do end up with luck, I won't be disappointed (not that anyone can really be disappointed with luck).

Now that's a Brilliant idea.

Yeah BA said it best there's two guys in this draft that we really like & we have a chance to sign one of them.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

I wonder if there are people who are desperate in the draft this year who might want to take a third rounder from us for a second rounder next year. I'm all about taking the hit in one draft from RGIII. If we can swing that, then we can talk about moving back into the first next year if there's a player we really like.

That would be nice.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

Sure, that's very Madden-esque, but the bird in the hand might be well worth it to a team this year. Not only that, we have two fourths THIS year if there's a person we'd like at the end of the third round and we move that third.

That's how I see it, I don't see why everyone is losing their minds.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
 

@ TheMalcolnConnection: Bruce Allen said that having 18 picks in two drafts is very productive. The Redskins front office can't be happier with what they've accomplished in last year's draft and what they set out to do in this coming draft. There's no reason for them to dip into the second round. One third rounder, two 4ths, a 5th, 6th, and 7th is enough draft picks and excellent selections to add talent and depth can be found in everyone of those rounds in the draft. Do we really need to attempt to trade back into the second round this draft?
