I'll take Winfield. He would be a nice stop gap until we get past this cap crap and lack of 1st rounders.

My first reply was taking your statement at face value, but I looked up Winfield's [URL="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WinfAn20.htm"]ProFootball-Reference.com[/URL] stats and, not counting his rookie year, he only had 2 seasons where he started <10 games, and out of 14 seasons, 8 he was active for all 16, 2 he was active in <10, and 4 seasons he was active and started between 10 and 15 games. Last year he started 15 games. Injuries happen, this is a guy who is a tough physical CB, even if we had to sub in for a few games, it's not like we haven't had to do that across the board. That's why depth, and rookie talent are so critical in this league.

So, if we can get a deal done with Winfield, and he passes his physical, I'm good with that.

Uh, it also state that he is going to be 36 years old in June and is 5'9"
that is too old and too short too.

I'm okay if a guy starts 15 out of 16 games in a season, but 10-14 games for half your career isn't great if you are a starter. Your team needs you to be on the field.

I really hope we don't sign Winfield. Didn't Crawford get on the field last year and hold his own?

Yeah he made good strides, and I'd like to see what Minniefield can do this year. I still think we need to sign several secondary players, but they don't need to be 36. We want to get younger, not older and slower.

Re: Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013
 

Rather have Pac Man if your looking for a vet at Corner. Affordable 2 year stop gap deal. His behavior issues are in the past.

He did ok, but I think most everyone agrees that we need some CBs brought in, and as a 1-2 year deal, I think Winfield would be good.

To his age, yeah I saw that too, and if they didn't sign him for that reason, I could understand it.

He is a fairly consistent player, from his stats, and would be a stable guy, even if he is out for a game or three.

Of course it all depends on the money being right too, and I have no clue what he would want in that regards.

I think you get younger through the draft, and our 2nd year guys, you bring in an older guy to stabilize a position for OTA/Training Camp/Preseason, and if the young bucks beat out the older player great, if not you have some level of confidence in the position.

ex dallas player, not unless he's superman... (stats/facts be damned, I hate Dallas)

Re: Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013
 

Im tepid on Winfield. Id welcome him on a 1 year deal, but we would still need more help. He would still be better in coverage over Hall.

I might be up for a 1 year flier deal, just to take a stab in the dark. I understand CRed's comment about having a vet for camp, but I just feel like his age and health won't meet the price tag he is probably going to want.

Re: Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013
 

as a reference point DeAngelo Hall would be 30 this year, Talib just turned 27....not sure we should consider a guy that will soon be 36....no way a CB can truly hold his own at that age...unless you are Darrel Green

I think Pac Man is a very viable option for us.
