Don't say good-bye to Moss just yet.

@JasonLaCanfora: Skins currently in discussions with representatives for Moss and Carriker trying to rework their deals to create cap space.

That really doesnt represent the Redskins as a whole.
It represents Vinny Cerrato.

[quote=The Goat;997417]Gdamnit I hate to see Moss go. Lame.

Maybe we'll re-sign to a more cap-friendly deal. He deserves that opportunity.[/quote]

If the thought is that Moss will not get picked up do to his age if we release him then I suspect we can get him at any offer we want.
Partially because I just read this in his wiki.

[I]On January 25, 2012, his $5.2 million home in Florida went into foreclosure.[/I]

I think "aren't" is an incorrect statement. The guys they cite are:

Haynesworth, signed 2009 (4 years ago)
D. Sanders, signed 2000 (13 years ago)
B. Smith, signed 2000 (13 years ago)
A. Archuleta, signed 2007 (6 years ago)
J. Trotter, signed 2002 (11 years ago)
J. George, signed 1999 (14 years ago)
D. Stubblefield, signed 1999 (14 years ago)

So, yeah. In the late 90's and early 00's we sucked. AND, in the last 10 years, we had two very bad signings.

Since Cerrato has been gone, we have had solid success in the FA market. Last year's crop were significant contributor's to the team at relatively reasonable prices. Without going back, pretty sure the same could about MS's first crop of UFA's.

Shanallen runs March very differently than Cerrato.

Good. Solid player and one less whole to fill.

Crossing my fingers on Moss. He is one of those guys I want to play for the Skins until he decides he doesn't want to play anymore.

just saw this a min ago; great news. He needed to stay and he'll provide great depth while he recovers from his torn ACL.

Something else I just realized/noticed, both our LDE's have torn their ACLs, lets hope that doesn't carry over to Bowen and cofield.

AC is an unsung guy, he will greatly help the pass rush. Glad to see him back.

Not sure if this posted: [url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2013/03/11/redskins-tender-restricted-free-agent-chris-baker-will-let-brandon-banks-walk/]Redskins tender restricted free agent Chris Baker, will let Brandon Banks walk[/url]

As I understand it, of the RFA's only Banks was not resigned. Baker may still walk but I bet he stays. With Cofield, Nield and Baker, I am very comfortable with our NT position.

and BTW - Thank God the Brandon Banks experiment is over. I wish him no ill will but, damn, am I glad he is gone.

Re: Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013
 

To be fair Joe, Archuleta was signed before the 2006 season. But that just illustrates your point even more, it was so long ago that it really shouldn't be factored into current history.

Re: Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013
 

One cut saves two or three players. Like it.

Adam Carriker restructured his deal with the Skins, providing 2013 cap relief. Santana Moss now close to doing the same

[quote=Mattyk;997433]Carriker had a torn quad[/quote]

Wow, I thought it was his ACL, remembering how he was holding his knee when he went down. Rotoworld confirmed what you said, I just remember being pissed more so that we lost Orakpo a few plays later, with a torn pec (I remember that one better).


But back to AC, what a team guy. He knows he fits here, he knows we're a good team, he knows we just got a BS cap penalty and that since he didn't play last year its in the teams and his best interest to take less money this year and keep the last couple years of his deal the same. Great guy, glad he's back.

Still worried about Davis.
