Redskins Free Agency Thread

Dumb. Just plain old dumb. Not worth the money at all. If we were going to pay that amount to a safety then I would have rather paid it to Mathieu. He is probably much more of a complete player and has better open field skills to cover TE's. Our front office seriously has the biggest hard on for Bama players that I have ever seen.

While I like Collins in general, I would very much prefer for Redskins to use that money on Mathieu as well for the reason you mentioned..

I suppose we can switch our name to Washington Crimson Tide now?

At this point, I wonder if it a strategy...Nick Saban is a defensive coach...he lets guys come in and manage the offense which tends to be a run first, run second, and play action big pass play.

A defense with so many Alabama players, is the end game Saban after Jay?

The recent trend of young offensive coach...give me Saban all day over these guys.

Other than Pete Carroll I can't recall any recent college coaches who have made a difference in the NFL. Bill O'Brien is the other one, but he still hasn't done anything newsworthy. I'm not concerned with Saban's talent evaluating skills, I worry about his coaching style when it's 53 paid professionals vs. young college kids trying to prove themselves. He said it best too, he already tried it once and embarrassed himself.

He's not a good fit here. They already tried a hard ass coach w/ Marty and that lasted one year. Saban is just too much of a control freak. Too much my way or the highway. That way doesn't work at Redskin Park.

It doesn't work much period, in the NFL. Only in NE and that is largely due to Brady being Brady. If they had any other QB , that offense would not be as good.

Its not going to happen for a bunch of reasons. If Saban wants another shot in the NFL he'll have much better options than here.

Unless Snyder throws an insane amount of money his way and gives him total autonomy which seems highly unlikely.

I think Gregg Williams would be the favorite to be the next head coach here.

Total speculation, totally my opinion but I think there was something to the meeting he and Dan had this off-season.

Team now has to focus on LG/EDGE rusher in the draft. (QB if they don't get Rosen)

Welcome to free agency, the initial signings are typically all overpaid. Nature of the beast.

And the initial reports are inflated (total contract money vs. actual guaranteed money).
