Redskins could be interested in Adams, Wayne

The club still is roughly $4.4 million under the salary cap, but could also still look for a linebacker. Representatives for former Philadelphia linebacker Keith Adams and former Detroit linebacker Nate Wayne were contacted in recent weeks, but little movement appears to have taken place concerning either.

Personally I'm more for drafting some young talent. Quite a few of the young linebackers in last year's draft worked out well.

We need a starter. I don't feel comfortable about finding a guaranteed starting LB in the 2nd round. I think Adams would be a great pickup.

I agree for the right price, however I think we have enough homegrown talent and there's enough in the draft.

I like Wayne for two years or so! Also get a good vet CB as well! You say why? Two reasons first if both are good players they will fit in nice with a already strong D! Second we can go into Aprils draft looking to draft the best player and not just for need! It's a win win thing!!! But the money has to be right to get those kind of player and we don't have a lot left. Still if there is a way to get it done Danny and Joe can!

How about both a vet and a young guy?

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I'm down with that, but I'd REALLY like to see the Skins pursue some young linebackers and honestly I'd love to see us use our first pick on that this year. Maybe trade down some picks and take CBs.

I say just let Chris Clemons, Robert McCune, and Khary Campbell fight it out in camp. May the best man win.

If we can sign a vet on the cheap though, that's not a bad way to go.

I still think we need to use our 2nd rounder on a CB.

[GTripp0012]

All of those players are good options for the first month or so. I myself, am personally a McCune fan, and would like to see Clemons as a situational pass rusher.

Either way, they should have a contingency plan in case the three of them can't get it done. That's where a talented rookie comes in.

With the depth in the draft of CB, I'd really like to see us go LB or even OL. I'd also like to see us package a couple 6th rounders and maybe move up in the 5th and grab some of that great CB depth.

what about peter sirmon... he is going to be a backup next year in tennessee and is requesting to be released or traded he had 68 tackles and 2.5 sacks last year.

Okay, he has good numbers. What happened to him during his first two years? He had zero tackles.

I would assume he didn't start but that was in 2000 and 2001 I don't see why that would matter. Lemar only had 19 tackles in 2000 2001 and 2002 and he seems to be doing pretty good for himself.

Yeah, but the stats show he appeared in 12 games his first year and 16 his second year, but had no solos and no assists? Something screwy about this. Was he on the practice squad? Were there injuries? I'm just curious about his beginning. He seemed to surge from 0-60 in one offseason.

I don't know the most about the NFL draft pool this year, but is the CB depth that good that we think we could land a potential stud replacement for Springs? When I think of getting a CB, I'm thinking it would be wise to find the guy that could pair up with Rogers for the next 5 years once Springs has to head over the hill.

The Gregg Williams defense needs great CB play to function, and I think it would be wise to shore it up with the 2nd rounder. From what I understand, there are a few real good corners available in the 2nd round.

There's more than one way to skin a cat though. We could just try to sign a temporary nickel this year, draft a LB with our 2nd rounder, and then worry about Springs' replacement later. I guess I'm just thinking it would be nice to take advantage of the CB depth now while it's there. Our 2nd rounder could yield a stud at CB.
