do the skins always get their man?

do the washington redskins(in the dan snyder era)always get the free agents and other players they want?it seems like the players earmarked by the skins as "must haves" always end up in washington.can anyone remember a player that was coveted by the skins that ended up elsewhere?

Looks like Detroit was the most interested and Bruce is exactly the type of guy that Washington ignored this year.

they didn't ignore bruce though, i think they might have even thought they had him with larry micheals "big announcement tomorrow" statement on his show (that never actually happened... it was a day or two before FA started).

turns out bruce got tons of money and it was a decent non signing.

Antonio Pierce

We seem better at signing then at re-signing--Pierce and Smoot would be the ones that leap to mind...

But when we really target someone, we are pretty good.

They chose to let them go. Looking back it was a good move. Smoot is almost as overrated as Lavar and Pierce isn't that much better than Marshall.

Yeah, but can you imagine Pierce, Marshall, and Washington all playing at the same time?

Oh wait...that was 2004.

They played better together than our core of LB'S last year but keep in mind that opponents had a whole offseason to prepare and find weakness's in GW scheme and not to mention we played far better offenses in 05 than 04. Our D is still a beast no matter what anyone says though. Lets just get a capable ROLB inked or drafted.

We wanted Jevon Kearse a couple years back as well.

They inquired about Kearse but they did not want to pay him what Philly paid.
