[QUOTE=MTK;1279862]I wouldn't trade for him either, let him get cut. I bet he'll be chomping at the bit to play Philly twice a year and he'd be a great fit here, if healthy of course.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Chico23231;1279844]Looking ahead: Washington needs to find a long snapper and while no names have emerged those who have called have been told they have a list. It still needs a TE; they did make an early offer to one of the top TE's available, though it's uncertain which one. It wants to add an OT as well. Washington knows the draft can help in many areas it wants to fortify (OT, TE, LB). Like last offseason, a big key now is strengthening the depth in multiple areas.

Per Keim.


They again offered a top TE for the second year in a row missed. Tackle, LB and TE continues to be the focus.

Getting Ertz for a forth round pick and a short contract...I wouldn’t have a problem with.[/QUOTE]


I wonder if the backup center they just signed will become the long snapper.

@InstantRHIplay
Curtis Samuel said he wasn't concerned about there being no clear cut quarterback in Washington. He's focused on his job and making their job easier to throw to him.

Probably not. Long snapping has become such a specialized position I'm sure they will end up signing a true long snapper.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

Eric Fisher...call me interested in what the price would be and expected recovery time

Absolutely. I had this thought as soon as he was cut.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

We need to sign a LB that fits what we do still some good names out there.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

I brought up Fisher earlier in the week. Definitely worth at least assessing. Achilles will make an evaluation tough though. He might remain an FA for a couple of months and be a reasonable pick up post draft?

he was long snapping for FG's last year.

Then why cut Sundberg? I didn't remember him having a bad season last year.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

He didn't get cut, he was an FA and signed elsewhere. The question is actually why not match/better the offer? They probably didn't see enough from him to warrant the extra cost compared to other talent on the roster/in their sights.

I don’t believe he left on his own accord. I thought He was cut due to health concerns from his tricep tendon injury. Don’t believe there was an offer at all?

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

Jackson owns a little hog. Perfect signing lol.

Elbow surgery. Still recovering. He snapped with partially torn ligaments this year. The ball was tailing on him a little. I think there’s at least a little concern on Ron’s part that he won’t come back the same, or at least enough concern to say I can just find a different snapper at the same price (minimum) who will perform the same, and I won’t have to think about elbow recovery.

Probably thinking of it as find his replacement now as opposed to finding out in August he can’t snap at all and scrambling to find one. Harsh but prudent.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that the new snapper will be at a lower price. Due to his years of service, the minimum for Sundberg is almost double what it would be for a new guy, as I understand it.

Yup. Will our FA signings, Scherff, Allen 5th year, etc., we'll need to squeeze out all the cap space we can. Competent long snappers on cheap UDFA deals or something similar should be feasible.

are we really worried about who the long snapper is? lol. sunberg had a nice run here but at the end of the day, no one gives a damn who snaps on punts and field goals.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

I think that ol-Fitzt magic will win us some games next season, we'll be good enough to win the East and lose to the Bucs again in the first round!!

It’s actually not true. There’s a rule that says if you’re making the vet minimum, you count the same against the cap as the rookie minimum. They do it for this exact reason, so vets don’t get cast aside just because a rookie saves $200K in cap space.

I don’t think cost goes into the Sundberg decision significantly at all. It’s just about finding a guy with fewer injury questions.

We will when the next guy gets the jitters on a game-winning field goal and chucks the ball 30 yards behind the holder.

People just assume the shits easy because talented players make it look easy.

This is one of those decisions nobody will care about unless we can't find another talented guy that isn't coming off an injury for next year.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

Good update from [URL="https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41107520-4"]Keim[/URL]:

Looking ahead: Washington, with approximately $21 million in cap space, has mostly exited from the big spending stages of free agency. It will make some other signings, emphasizing depth or re-signing more of their own such as corner Fabian Moreau or LB Jared Norris on one-year deals. There will possibly be more low-end signings post-draft as well, once the team sees what it needs. Carrying cap space into 2022 will be a goal as well.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

It's starting to look like we will look to resolve the LB and TE needs through draft.. Maybe FS too if we don't sign Tre Boston.

I think Keim said that someone like Tre Boston would be a post-draft signing (if he's still available). Likewise, I can see the team going after Ertz if/when the Iggles release him post draft.

Steven Montez will play all of those positions.

[quote=Monkeydad;1280008]Steven Montez will play all of those positions.[/quote]


.... and long snap.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

I still would love to sign an OLB there are some fairly good one available and I do like signing Moreau a lot

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

Got a ping from NFL.com saying Cam Sims has re-signed, but I can't see anything official anywhere?

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

[quote=AnonEmouse;1280210]Got a ping from NFL.com saying Cam Sims has re-signed, but I can't see anything official anywhere?[/quote]

Signed his tender...gonna make 2 mill.

Good deal, shown enough for depth

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

And Moreau is now a Falcon. Given him and Darby out and Jackson in, they have to be looking for another CB in the draft. Moreland hasn't been a disappointment but is he CB1/2 quality?

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

Moreland is a CB3, nothing more, which is what Moreau was... There are likely to be a lot of third tier CBs available after the draft and will probably be several good options in the third round anyway. WFT could do with a good slot option which is where Moreau was playing as I understand it, I think they prefer Moreland on the outside. Given the amount of "heavy nickel" they play since Kurl arrived I don't think they want to spend a lot on a slot corner unless they June 1st Landon Collins.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

Per Tom pelissero ,the football team is bringing in Adam Humphries wr from titans for a visit trying to sign him for slot wr like this move alot if they can do it.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

Humphries seems like the guy that would fill the role that Cody Latimer was supposed to fill last year.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

My guess is he would be Steven Sims Jr's replacement.

Would be a great move and a MAJOR upgrade over Sims Jr! WR wouldn’t be that high of a draft priority, if we can get this done.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

He played two seasons in Tampa with Fitzpatrick...

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

Humphries would be a nice add. A true slot guy so we can line up Samuel all over the place.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

[quote=njant;1280214]Per Tom pelissero ,the football team is bringing in Adam Humphries wr from titans for a visit trying to sign him for slot wr like this move alot if they can do it.[/quote]

Wow would be an outstanding move and he is just 27

He played with Fitzpatrick for 2 years in Tampa as well in 17 and 18, so there is a connection there.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

Funny how when there is a connection with players fans say that's a good thing, but bringing in coaches or front office guys with connections is lazy, or cronyism.

Re: WFT Free Agency
 

[quote=Chief X_Phackter;1280219]He played two seasons in Tampa with Fitzpatrick...[/quote]

Shit sorry for the echo, this was my first thought too

Moving on from Sims jr would be a positive
