i think its 2000 all over again as far as the spending is concerned, but i believe that we are getting some great young talent. i do think the players will make a great impact that weve signed, im just worried about future cap constraints.

Keep it up Danny Boy! Keep it up! Next on the menu, defensive end.

good i guess... i'll have to see R'El's stats at the end of the year though. i think lloyd will show up (and hope his "issues" stay away). R'El may become a vastly overpaid kick returner, but we'll see.

also, we don't have numbers on fauria, know who or how much on a DE or have the numbers on adam yet (who i didn't think was a real need for his cost, but GW apparently did).

I AM happy that everyone targetted has been 27 and under (lloyd at 24 is a coup talent wise if he can learn to catch a bit more consistantly and keep his mouth closed).

I'm going to hold onto my vote until after today.

PSUSkinsFan21 · 03-13-2006, 11:07 AM

Great start. If we can address DE and CB through either the draft or free agency yet, I'll be a truly happy camper.

Sammy Baugh Fan · 03-13-2006, 11:11 AM

Great moves.

12thMan · 03-13-2006, 11:15 AM

I'm reserving my opinion until the season starts - let's say five games. But on paper, who can argue with these moves. This certainly catapaults as Super Bowl contender.

The only thing is while you can replace players and bodies, chemistry goes a long, long way to winning titles. I hope making these moves won't tamper with the chemistry too much. And furthermore, I hope the Skins can stay hungry going into to /06.

Bingo! Couldn't have said it better myself. I'll admit that I'm a little sad we haven't/didn't re-sign Ryan Clark. Maybe I'll feel differently by week 8 of the season.

I love most of the moves. Get a LB and DE along with a back up QB. Trade Ramsey for a fair pick or picks and then get depth in the draft! What a off season!

Schneed10 · 03-13-2006, 11:40 AM

I think they're "good" moves. Neither Randle El nor Lloyd have ever even sniffed a 1000 yard season. But they are young and have upside. The amount of signing bonus getting paid to these guys worries me a bit. They need to pan out. I feel good about Randle El because he's a solid guy, but Lloyd's attitude worries me a bit. Hopefully Gibbs applies his magic touch and keeps him from causing problems.

I like Archuleta and Fauria is a good signing as an in-line blocker.

redrock-skins · 03-13-2006, 01:35 PM

Great moves. We filled glaring holes on offense, which we desperately needed.

This is not 2000. In 2000, we signed the entire 1992 All-Madden team whether they really filled needs or not.

GoSkins! · 03-13-2006, 02:05 PM

I think in 2000 Snyder wanted to do two things at once. Sign big names to help the team and sign big names to sell merchendise. As bad of a flop as the first part was, it did keep people coming to the stadium and buying skins stuff. Because of that, partly, we have plenty of money to pay for who ever we want now.

taylor21dakila · 03-14-2006, 12:57 AM

its aight da moves are good just im kinda concerned with da spending

PWNED · 03-13-2006, 11:41 AM

personally i think lloyd will be the one who works out. its good to get these young guys around gibbs early. if anything weve shown with our personnel moves last year that we dont put up with crap.
