I heard it on ESPN radio and here' another link, he would be a nice pick up.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

Could be another Pete Kendall tpe of situation w/out giving up draft picks. The old regime would've already traded for Faneca. lol.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

If he came here does he move to right guard since we have Dock at left? I think he's been a left guard his entire career.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

This is how it's done. Just wait for the market to set itself. There's n need to jump the gun, overspend, and/or trade draft picks away.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

Would be a fantastic acquisition after not drafting too many o-linemen in the draft.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

Should we really even bother hyping up another free agent? Guys we're not signing him... Get your head around it.

I am confident he could beat out Dock.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

Ironically he might make more sense for the Bears.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

Steelers are recollecting old flames. I mean they already got Randle El, McFadden, and Foote. Plus they want to get back to Steeler football.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

I'm worried about a 33yr old that actually pushes our average age up, but if he's still good I wouldn't be opposed for a one-year stint. Ppl were talking about Flozell before as well. A couple of FA's out there, and probably more to come over the next months. I'm starting to trust Shanahan will make a smart move..

I'm impressed he kept Haynesworth after all that talk. I was scared he would just dump him like Holmes, for less than his value. It's much smarter to keep him if you don't get a good offer..

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

The Redskins do not know who can play right guard right now. Nobody has been designated as the starter. Hick is a right guard who the Skins have working out at right tackle. Mike Williams was drafted as a tackle who they have working out as a guard. I mean WHO IS THE SKINS RIGHT GUARD.

I know of a pro bowl guard who is a free agent right now. SIGN HIM UP! No brainer.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

I heard that Faneca has lost some of his abilities. He may not be any better than what we already have signed up. Plus we just drafted a couple of OLs.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

I have to think the left side of the line is set with Williams, Dockery, and Rabach. No way we bring in an aging Faneca to compete with Dockery.

you seem to be unaware that offensive linemen get injured around here quite often. Whoever starts will not finish the season. Thats the history of the Redskins offensive linemen. Just because Fanaca would be aquired would not mean its a mistake if he was playing part time, giving Dockery or mike Williams a rest or even transitioning to center occasionally. Give me a valuable veteran like Fanaca and he is worth his weight in gold even if its just sitting on the bench till a crises occurs.

Can you blame him? We followed the exact same position pattern in rounds 4-7 as we did last year in rounds 6-7 (LB, FB/TE, WR). I was convinced before we picked Cook that the pick was going to be a corner, safety, or punter.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

Faneca has become a turnstile in pass pro, but is still a good run blocker. He would be great in the locker room, and would be good depth if the management wants him.

Like I said before though. Since this is reunion time for the Steelers (McFadden, Foote, ARE) I would fully expect the Steelers to pursue him again. If not them then the Bears seem more likely to pay him the type of money he's looking for.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

For the right price, it's a no brainer to sign faneca. We can ALWAYS use more OL depth.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

We all know McNabb is a piece of glass, obviously we want the best protection for him, and I think getting someone like Faneca would be GREAT. We don't want to trust a bunch of rookies to protect McNabb.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

In our never-ending quest to win the 2004 NFC East, I feel Faneca would be an indispensable part of our efforts.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

it'd be great if we signed him but i also think the steelers will resign him.

Pitts management already told fans he won't be returning to Pitts so they shouldn't get their hopes up. Whatever that means, but I think he left on kind of bad terms with the FO.

i hope this is true. Faneca is a good offensive lineman. We need good offensive lineman.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

Wish he was a few years younger then I could say go for it. Any decent UDFA o linemen out there?

I would take him next to Mawai next year all day....

Is anyone else as happy as me that we are going to be running the ball all day long next year?!?!

Id give Tony Washington a shot

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

[quote=WaldSkins;694539]Id give Tony Washington a shot[/quote]

I surprise Tony Washington did not get drafted at least in the 7 rd. I guess because of his past record and him having to register as a sex offender scared teams off. I think he was 18 and the girl was 16-17 yrs old and she had consentual sex with him. To all fools a minor can not have consentual sex because she is underage. So any ways maybe we can sign him as a UDF he deserves a 2nd chance in life its not like he is a child molester. He played at TCU OT.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

while i do think his skills are diminishing, he is still a better guard than anyone on the roster( other then Dockery)

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

If shanahan thinks he is still a capable guard and better than what we have now, I have no problem bringing him in for two years while we continue rebuilding.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

well, the fact that we drafted THREE offensive linemen means the Redskins are not desperate now. With the #4 pick as McNabbs bodyguard, then Dockery, and Rayback locked in as starters, the only questions are right guard and right tackle and Mike Williams or Hicks will be the right guard. So that only leaves one position open to possibility of question mark and that is right tackle. Most probably that gets filled with Heyer or Hicks eventually but ya never know. We may pick up a right tackle during the summer cuts, or trade for one in August.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

^ I predict that the Rams will turn Alex Barron loose and he will be our right tackle.

I don't think they are desperate, it seems like a realistic approach. Not all of your picks will pan out so it makes sense to draft several guys that can potentially help you down the road.

We signed a guy just now as an UDFA that pulled a knife on a teammate. Certainly we can deal with a guy who engaged in a weird, but consensual, sex act when he was 17 or 18.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

I still can't believe they traded Leon Washington for nothing but a 5th rounder. That dude is a weapon.

Yeah, but he's expected to make a full recovery. It's not like he shredded his knee or something. I still think Seattle got a bargain.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

Grab faneca and sharper. ..... plz

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

could be a nice addition for maybe two years at RG and we can put m.williams as back-up at right tackle , does anybody like that idea?
