[URL="http://www.kffl.com/link/9"]ESPN.com[/URL]'s [URL="http://www.kffl.com/link/125"]John Clayton[/URL] reports the [URL="http://www.kffl.com/team/37/nfl"]Washington Redskins[/URL] are expected to re-sign free agent DE [URL="http://www.kffl.com/player/495/nfl"]Demetric Evans[/URL] to a multi-year contract that is worth $1 million per season.




Big news, Evans is back and our DL depth is secure now (3 capable DTs and a sub, 3 capable DEs and a sub) with true #1s (carter/griffin) for each.

Wright is a good corner that should really help our depth and is pretty solid himself.

This leaves the skins with about 3.3$mill in free cap space to sign lloyd, draft picks, and look at a good backup/okay starter quality LBs if they want. My guess is that we'll probably call it quits on FA unless Keith Adams comes cheaply.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

Quick look at contracts of two guys the skins or board members were interested in:

[b]Texans | Contract update: S. Cowart[/b]
Fri, 31 Mar 2006 18:24:54 -0800

Houston Texans LB Sam Cowart signed a two-year contract with base salaries of $710,000 (2006) and $2 million (2007).

[b]Jets | Contract update: A. Dyson[/b]
Fri, 31 Mar 2006 18:30:38 -0800

New York Jets CB Andre Dyson signed a five-year contract with base salaries of $750,000 (2006), $850,000 (2007), $1.225 million (2008), $2.05 million (2009) and $2.1 million (2010).


Dyson got about $4mill in signing bonus and makes slightly more per year than carlos rogers. He would have been my pick to sign, but he's really a #2 type corner, and the jets give him the opportunity to start every game.

Very, very smart signings. Outside of that redundantly mentioned LB spot, this defense has no weakness.

I love it!

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

Out of Northwestern State, eh. Well, he's already got something on Ladell Betts.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

Nice to see Evans will be back, he provides nice depth

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

evans will be good for depth now, i'm glad he didn't sign elsewhere. Even though i've never heard of kenny wright, i think he will give us some depth at corner, and possibly take the nickel job.

Wright started, every game I believe, last year for one of the best defenses in the league.

Lol that's good enough for me.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

he has a lot of experience as a nickle corner for texans i think. solid pick up for cheap i assume

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

He did start every game for the jags last year, and he played 3 years for the texans as a #3 and also had 5 starts there (presumeably due to injury).

110 games played, 50 career starts, 1 game as a DNP (did not play)... that leaves 1 game unaccounted for (the 2003 texans game where i'd guess he missed due to injury).

the fact that its a 1 year deal for a #3 CB means it a sub $1mill payout i'd assume.

[B]Redskins | Contract update: A. Jimoh[/B]
Fri, 31 Mar 2006 22:16:08 -0800

David Elfin, of the Washington Times, reports the one-year tender CB Ade Jimoh signed to remain with the Washington Redskins was valued at $721,600.


[B]Redskins | Police and courts: S. Taylor[/B]
Fri, 31 Mar 2006 22:12:38 -0800

David Elfin, of the Washington Times, reports negotiations between lawyers for Washington Redskins S Sean Taylor and Florida state's attorneys on possibly altering the charges that Taylor faces proved fruitless and his trial remains scheduled for April 10. Taylor faces a maximum of 46 years in prison: 15 years on each of three felony assault charges and one year on a simple battery charge.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

lets lock ade up for the next 5 or 6 years, he is the new face of the franchise

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

So, with Ade Jimoh and Kenny Wright about to be signed, does that change the draft priorities you think? With Springs, Rogers, Wright and Jimoh presumably the top four corners, now I'm not so sure cornerback remains an absolute need in the draft.

According to [URL="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/31/AR2006033101656.html"]this[/URL] we could be going OLB in the second round. Plus we might be bringing in LB Keith Adams and re-signing Warrick Holdman

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

since we got thoses 2 OL backups LB has been favored (a #3CB is MUCH cheaper and easier to find than a starter LB in free agency). I'd still like to go OG in the draft cause i'm not sold on the OL fodder they signed (both to one year deals, meaning they're not highly thought of).

This is where it hurts that we traded our 3. Normally, that's a great round to go get an offensive lineman. I think the value will be other places in round 2, and that if we do go offensive line, it should be an offensive tackle.

the good tackles are gone by then. you can get the #1 or #2 OG in the draft, or you can get the #6 OT. Our weakest link is dockery, and he only has a 1 year deal. jansen and samuels are locked up long term, as are thomas and rabach.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

don't forget about Jamar Fletcher,according to the wp he's supposed to visit monday. He might not have turned out to be a shut down corner after getting drafted in the 1st rnd., but he's a solid nickel back.
I love the resigning of evans, he's made his career here & seems to be a gibbs/g.williams kinda guy, plays dt & de. he'll never be a star but he's 1 of the kind of role players that makes a team.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

yeah, i wonder if K wright kills the fletcher deal. but we only have 3 safeties, one of which can't cover, so he might still be brought in. It'd be crazy to get him and adams and still have a 2nd and a bunch of fodder draft picks... If we do that and don't win the SB it'd be a total failure though :(

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

I don't know about Adams, he's alright but maybe I'm having problems w/seeing an ex eagle in b & g.
I actually hope that Holdman comes back cheaply & plays well. From the sounds of it, he was never comfortable in the system, but maybe he'll be better in it the 2nd year. Not a long term answer, but he can provide depth if a draft pick can't win the job

Jansen was a second rounder, though admittedly he was selected much higher than the spot we have this year.

Unless there's clearly a better tackle available, I agree we should go for a guard. But I wouldn't pass up a tackle knowing that you could always plug him in at the guard position for additional experience.

Outside of Molinaro, we have absolutely no depth at tackle. I'm hoping we do address that, maybe through FA.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

if holdman delivers any more sub-trashcan level games he'll need to be shot. Adams isn't a star, but he'd be a big upgrade over what we saw of holdman last year.

T walters is a T, some of the other backups have played tackle as well... but anyone is going to be a drop off from chris and jon unless they make 5$mill a year ;)

some of the guards can play tackle, some can't, but in the 2nd round you're generally getting complete guards that can play vs semi-project tackles (like guys that moved from TE etc). It just seems like people stretch for OTs and QBs and draft them above their talent levels too often :/ I'm all for best available OL though... but gibbs did say he was only looking for G/C backup guys, as if he was comfortable with the backup tackles we have.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

isnt molinaro a guard?no way bringing adams in.as much as i dont like holdman,for the right money i would be willing to give him another shot

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

[quote=dmek25]isnt molinaro a guard?no way bringing adams in.as much as i dont like holdman,for the right money i would be willing to give him another shot[/quote]

redskins.com lists him as a OT, so i'd say no he's not a guard. adams might be around the same price. Adams isn't going to get 3mill a year or anything like that.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

With the release of Kim Herring, do you think he would fit in with the skins? Considering GW likes safeties. I think he could be a good fit if his shoulder is all healed up.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

K. Herring isn't much physically these days. He could make a decent backup.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

I'm very excited we re-signed D. Evans. Theres just somthing about this kid that I think can be VERY special. I really didnt want to lose him this year, I think he could be a starter for us eventually!

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

I like Evans. Not sure what we're getting with K. Wright though.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

K Wright does have good size.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

K wright has some sacks, and he's been a starter as well, but lacks high end speed. He's a good nickel and he's big.

Maybe they aren't Tackles, but hey, Buges has been known to move parts of the puzzle around to re-insert as needed.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

ahh so i see were going LB with first pick now.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

i know its doubtful, but is there ANY chance we could move up into the first round? even though im su re there will be a pretty good LB available.

Re: Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc
 

With Fletcher out of the picture, I hope they sign Wright soon.

was evans signed to more than a one year contract?

i dont he is great but for the limited amount of playing time he gets,he makes plays and we all know thats what this league is all about

I totally agree! I just rewatched the Skins-Bucs playoff game on NFL Network OnDemand and Evans was in almost every play. Im a big fan of this kid and can definitely see him as our starting LE opposite Carter...
