Re: Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?
 

I would steer clear of the FA market. Why would anyone want ....say a diva WR from Oakland or a backup WR from Miami? An aging Safety from Indy and a draft flop out of Pittsburgh? Oh wait New England did it and won SB's (plural)
Randy Moss
Wes Welker
Rodney Harrison
Mike Vrabel

My FA wishlist is some of the following:

B Ruud, LB Bucs
S Tulloch, LB Titans
H Ngata, NT Ravens (Prob won't happen)
A Franklin, NT 49ers
D Joseph, OG Bucs
T Clabo, OT Falcons
R Kalil, C Panthers
C Bailey, CB Broncos (If the price is right)
V Jackson, WR Chargers

Re: Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?
 

9 free agents in a single off season? Reading through this thread I would think that some would accuse you of blasphemy. Ok 8 because of Ngata, but the Ravens will lock up a long term deal before the end of the season or franchise him.

Bailey on the cheap would be great. I would be able to wear my #24 jerseys in public again.

I don't think we should do things like that anymore. Champ would have been a great life long Redskin. He would have been great to have around in his prime but that is past. We need the team to grow and excel as a unit. a spark here and there isnt goin to do anything.

We need all young hungry players with homegrown vets who are dedicated to the Redskins growth and willing to mentor the younger guys. A guy like D. Green who till this day cares about the team.

I don't want guys who spent their careers somewhere else anymore. It never works out for us.

If we are going to suffer thru the pains of losing we might as well suffer while knowing we are doing things the right way. In a direction to finally have a winning team.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Re: Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?
 

Actually that is exactly why I like Bailey. You mentioned the venerable D. Green, Champ was indeed mentored by him. They played in the same secondary, Bailey is a direct link to our glorious past, a coach/ player type role.

Totally!
To many guys came here cashed in and retired.....on the field! Find some younger dudes that are still trying to make a reputation.
Invest in a herd of high quality scouts!
.........unless a non-overthehill vet falls in your lap at a reasonable rate.

Re: Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?
 

Champ isn't going to sign for cheap, and regardless the chances of him coming back is slim to none.

Re: Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?
 

The only info I want to hear about our Corners is the resigning of Los and re upping Buchanon another year. Only thing in the secondary is adding competition to starting FS position. Our focus of change should be fully on the front 7 of D.

Didn't Bruce Allen change somewhere around 21 players in the Bucs' big season?

9 is pocket-lint to him.

Re: Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?
 

Champ's not coming back, Denver will keep him

Are you theoretically speaking of converting Ngata to NT?
He's a DE in Baltimore. And like you said, probably will stay there.

Wouldnt mind going after Robert Gallery for our interior

Re: Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?
 

Being from the mid-west, I'm partial to Big10 O-Line. However Gallery is not the player I expected out of Iowa.

No sir. If you want to find a football player then you have to look at SEC players because SEC players are the only players that know how to play football. And the SEC is the best conference I don't even know why people watch the other conferences because the SEC is all dat matters. With the SEC football is like a ripe tomato from God and all the other conferences are like rasins dried out in the sun.

And for people who don't think the SEC is the best then look at how well dem boys done did in the ultra fair, non bias, BCS national championship. Sure an SEC man sits ahead the BCS committee but we all know it's because the SEC is the only conference for college football. From Rocky Top to Uga the dog the SEC is surely the most exciting football ever. Why I'm pretty sure that most SEC teams could easily beat NFL teams. Yes sir.

SEC
