good option if Riley doesn't work out. But I'll take my chances with the young guy.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread
 

I know things are moving fast and furious. But unless your name is SmootSmack - who is getting his info straight from his connections, I don't see any excuse for not providing a link to the source of your information.

Or if you heard it on the airways, say what show and station you heard it on. Don't throw unsubstantiated crap out there, at least link to the twitter feed so the reader can decide for themselves how credible the information is.

The Mods should not have to chase people on this, we should all know the rules by now.

Harumph.

Well, seeing as deals cannot be signed until Friday, I think that invalidates your claim. (or troll)



That said, is making proposals to FA at this particular time even worthwhile? Even if they agree to terms, there is still 2-3 days in between where somebody else could come along and swoop them up.

Agreed.

Let's stick to the reliable sources. There's enough credible rumors floating around without having to wade through the BS of Joe Schmoe on Twitter making shit up.

B/c no one else has made the claim. If someone else here has legitimate insider information, great - let us know who your source is & how you know this is reliable info. Otherwise, you're just blowing smoke and cluttering the thread. Of course, if you have such insider info, people would probably give such claims more credence if they had been made and demonstrated [I][B]prior[/B][/I] to the a day in which rumour, innuendo and false leads are bound to be rampant (you know, like Smootsmack did).

Double Harumph!!

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread
 

Well, if I know a few players on the Skins I don't want to air that on Warpath and say so and so said...

Look, it's an exciting first day back to football. If the Mods mandate that you have to source your rumor, so be it.

So something on Twitter isn't a reliable source or does it depend on who's tweeting? Just trying to clarify.

I hope so, I'd rather have Moss over Edwards. Edwards could be a nice complement to Moss, but Edwards as our #1, now that's scary!

As for Sidney Rice and Braylon Edwards both coming here, do you remember where you heard that skinsfaninok? I'm guessing it was on Colin Cowherd's show maybe? Based on the time you posted

I just asked one of our ESPNDallas execs about it and they said they hadn't heard that, that he's still hearing Santonio Holmes. But like I've said I've heard all three from various places now...which probably means we're signing James Jones. But seriously...

SS posts links when possible. If something is just a rumor, he says it is just a rumor. In so doing he inspires trust.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread
 

I can point you to three insiders that know the 411 when it comes to the Skins. Everything they've ever said has matched up exactly to what Smoot has. I've been reading (on Extremeskins) these guys posts for many years now and they drop knowledge when they can. One of them runs Extremeskins (which is owned by the Redskins) and has made many contacts during his time there. They aren't going to tell you who they are or what they do.

[url=http://twitter.com/#!/Jsteelzout2dome]Twitter[/url]

In fact, here is another nugget from one of them.


[quote] LL56xtremeskins LL
Haha auto correct.. last tweet. Yanda could get 7.5-8 per year from skins. Sorry for the Mis- tweet
[/quote]

If I were a Insider, no way in hell I would tell you who I was or what I did. Not sure if you remember, but a cat by the name of Andyman used to post on Extremeskins. It ended up being Karl Swanson, but people would hound him about who he was and what he did. Sometimes you just take the information and be happy. You'll know what's credible and what's not. I will say this. Don't expect the information to always come true because of how things go in the NFL. It's constantly changing. The deal made right now could be gone in 15 minutes. So information given at a particular time could very well be accurate, but 100% false the next day. It's how it rolls.

Yes they also mentioned Holmes, it was around 1230.. Don't know who said it though but again it was just talk.. If u had to guess SS, what WR do u see in WSH? Holmes, Edwards or Rice? Or none

Not even sure why SB posted it as it were legitimate. There are some credible guys out there.

If I had to guess, I'd say Edwards.

I also think Breaston might be a sleeper choice for us, but probably only if we lose Santana

That Roy Williams trade/contract was one of the biggest failures in Cowboys history. A Haynesworthian disaster if you will.

I hope not. Otherwise I'm just missing something. A few good games over the years...can find his way to sports center...but not the type of consistency I would want in a starting WR. Much rather Rice as a #1. Moss FINALLY in the slot after wanting him there for a decade but not having enough talent around him. And let Hankerson and Armstrong battle for number 2 spot. As much as Id like to root for my Cane right away it always takes receivers a few years...speaking of which...maybe Kelly will show up! and not get hurt...

[quote=GMScud;813251]That Roy Williams trade/contract was one of the biggest failures in Cowboys history. A Haynesworthian disaster if you will.[/quote]

Worse than Haynesworth because of the lost draft picks.

I hope Jerry has another Roy Williams trade up his sleeve.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread
 

Really not a huge fan of all our WR interest. Would really like to hear about us in the mix for a couple O-linemen and a couple D-Linemen.

Cant believe Mike Brown wouldnt take Haynesworth for Carson straight up...that would be good news.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread
 

Edwards, Holmes, and Rice all have big question marks in my opinion. I think Edwards perhaps has the fewest, but I wouldn't really want any of them over what we have.

[quote=GMScud;813251]That Roy Williams trade/contract was one of the biggest failures in Cowboys history. A Haynesworthian disaster if you will.[/quote]

Agreed but I think it was worse becuase it cost dallas a lot of money but also high draft picks.
Heynesworth cost 3 times the money limit the chance for you gusy to persuade FA but didn't cost u draft picks.

I feel the same way. I don't mind them going after Yanda or C. Jenkins, but I think we need to groom what we have here.

All they can do is agree to terms, but nothing is finalized till Friday. Which is the point I brought up about some team coming by and scooping them up during that time period and come Friday they sign with somebody else.
