[quote=SmootSmack;675041]Like I said...trade winds are blowing. Hasn't hit Redskin Park yet, but it will soon.

The Porter news is a bit of a surprise but [B]if[/B] Carter and McIntosh are both gone it won't hurt to have a veteran LB familiar with the 3-4 here. I hadn't heard anything about JP visiting until last night so I don't know how serious this visit is[/quote]
has that if gotten any bigger in the past couple days?

Porter is a great rush LB

Please don't sign Joey Porter, that dude does not belong in DC. I know he's got something left, but he might disrupt what little chemistry that's left on D.

Re: 2010 NFL Free Agency Rumors and Reports (Week 2)
 

He could be doing like several other players have.. coming here, milking a tad more out of a previous offer.

I really don't see it happening under Shanahan's watch. I think Marty is the last coach we had who will have as much authoritarian discipline as Shanahan will bring. Gibbs was much more of a motivator with a touch of disciplinarian. Shanahan isn't going to fool around and if you can't get along, I imagine there will be a bus headed out of town with your name on it.

I think Porter is trying to use the Redskins to get more money out of Arizona, which is where he would rather go

Deja vu.

I think you're right. Here's some support for your theory:

[IMG]http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif[/IMG]The Redskins will host free agent Joey Porter on Thursday.

Porter's preference is to return home to the west coast, but he needs another team interested so the Cardinals aren't bidding against themselves. The Redskins are moving to a 3-4 defense, so Porter fits from a pure scheme standpoint.[/quote]

Has he not been watching our FO this off-season?

[quote=Longtimefan;674979]I've said before, Allen has a thing for older players. I know we need O-line help but Sims is as old as dirt. We need to get younger.[/quote]

Well, we don't have enough draft picks to replace the entire line this year and add a RB, LB, secondary help and another backup QB.

A lot of the guys being added so far are for depth only, except Larry Johnson possibly, who could have a decent-sized role.

Umm, what chemistry? Rogers getting whiffed on? Landry out of position? I know it's the back field but what news do you have that speaks of Porter being someone similar to a T.O.? Honestly I'm kinda glad we are looking at players for their talent for a change vs. being the moral majority or character police, but I'm interested in how Porter is a locker room cancer since you brought it up?

Perhaps we can look for Hicks, Johnson and Kemo, once his health returns, to all have prominent roles (if not starters) once the season begins. Granted we definately need more depth on the O-line and we don't have enough DP to fulfill all of our needs. I'd like to see younger players being sought, however it could be that older vets are all that's available for what the team intends to invest.
