The Redskins Schedule A Free Agent Visit

Houston free agent safety Will Demps will be visiting the Redskins. league sources said.

Demps, 28, is a former starting safety with the Ravens, Giants and Texans. He entered the NFL with Baltimore in 2005, and had a rougher time of things with the Giants in 2006 - Baltimore drafted LaRon Landry's older borther, Dawan, that year and Landry became an immediate starter with them - and Demps played 15 games for Houston last season.

The Redskins are seeking safety depth, and though many scouts were impressed with how Reed Doughty came on late last season, I am not surprised Washington would look for a veteran to push Reed.

skinsfan_nn, I moved your post to a new thread. I thought it deserved to be its onw thread instead of buried in the general FA thread

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

thats good to hear you can never have enough secondary depth

Thanks, I was on the fence on whether to start a new thread or not.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

Wouldn't be a bad signing. Good move for depth, especially since Preilou prob won't be back. And he started 16 games for the Giants in '06 so he knows the division.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

I'm not against it either. we need someone under 30 to back up Doughty

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

would be relatively cheap depth i would hope

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

Demps is not a real good safety. I remember him being burned several times when he played for NYG. Let's hope Reed can step in and play solid and build from last year's experience.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

I'm not really sold on Demps either. I would imagine for depth purposes he could be a good signing, and would be relatively inexpensive. I didn't see him play last year, but I remember some of his performances in NY.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

I think he'd be perfect to solidify the safety position for the team.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

no one is sold on everyone

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

I was just thinking the redskins needed a fashion model on the team.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

I dont like demps, mainly because I always thought he was horrible in New York, I didnt see him play last year.

Plus Im on the 'Draft Kenny Phillips' band wagon

My Brandon Albert would crush your bandwagon. Mainly because my bandwagon weighs 315 pounds Mua ha ha ha. Phillips though would be a good choice, though it would look awkward to draft a DB in the first round in 4 out of 5 years and one of those years we didn't have a 1st round pick.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

No matter who we sign someone is going to complain

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

if he's cheap, he's good depth.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

Good! hope we sign him we need the depth.Plus that's one less position we have to draft,out of a week class.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

I'd rather draft a sure thing, rather than waste a 1st round pick ona a bust..

IF Kenny Phillips is the BPA when its 21, I say we grab him.. THen you aren't stuck if you were to take a chacne on a guy and it didnt work out..

I would rather draft a CD every year in the 1st round if that means we ar egoing to get a STUD in the 1st .

at least we are getting studs with the DB picks... we arent so HOT with Dline picks or WRs in the draft... So i say we go for the sure thing..

I'd rather have a Pro bowl DB in the 1st in every draft instead of drafting a bust one year and a good player the next.. Im the BPA type of person, cus then you arent stuck reaching

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

Will Demps is nothing more then a back up. im pretty sure the skins know that. no need to get all worked up

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

depth only

ab-so-****ing-tively

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

I would love to see us maybe even rotate the positions that we target in the first round. It was said that 4 out of 5 years we've drafted DBs. I love the results, but maybe we should draft a lineman in the first round once in a while, just to mix things up.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

Doughty did a great job stepping in this year but lets be realistic, we need to improve
that position. Demps would be a good addition, but no one compares to ST.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

Demps would be a good depth pickup since it looks like we could end up losing guys like Prioleau and Stoutmire.

I agree...also, I saw him out of position several times with the Texans last year. But to get a guy strictly for depth, well, it's not like we're going to get a great player. We just need someone with experience that is servicable. Demps can do that. I don't see him beating out Reed though.

Unless we're talking about a 6'2" 310lb guard walk on from Florida right? :D

Diabetes...

[QUOTE=EARTHQUAKE2689;428140]There is no such thing as drafting a sre thing[/QUOTE]

you didn't have to take me so literal..

That's pretty obvious... but our DB's have been studs, not busts..

When we draft WR, we DONT draft well..
When we draft a d-lineman, we haven't done as well as DB..

So thats what I mean I'd rather have a stud aka (Sean Taylor,Carlos Rogers, LaRon LAndry) vs any of the WR we have drafted since the early 90's. We seem to have an eye for defensive talent, and in the draft, not so much for offensive weapons, or the Dline.

Pretty much what I'm saying is, I'da rather use a 1st round pick on someone who we think can step right in and make an impact, just like LaRon, Rogers, And Taylor have done. I dont care if we use all our 1st round picks from here on out on DB's, as long as they are worth that pick, i'll take that all day long.

and?? look at adam morris that plays for the Charlotte bobcats.. He has Diabetes...

that was a rediculous comment.. Just because a guy has diabetes doesnt mean he's not gonna be any good, or not be able to play.:argue:

Jsarno made a joke saying that i am 6'2" 310 lbs and should walk on at UF then Campbell17 said I have diabetes

Oh...yeah that is a rather dumb comment then.

Re: JLC: Redskins Schedule Visit With S Will Demps
 

Maybe I am wrong but is this Will Demps the probowl alternate we are talking about from the texans. He was injured last year (Elbow is a problem) but really brought it apparently in the latter part of the season and solidified the defense once Daunta Robinson went down .

I still say you should be a walk on.
