1 signed a "multi-year" contract: Mike Williams

and 3, Heyer, Montgomery and Golston just signed their tenders.

So out of the 6 that are 1 year or tender signees how many do we really expect to be long term solutions? Maybe Golston and Wilson?

thanks for the info - although i was under the impression that these multi-year contracts didnt come with enough garaunteed money attached to make them anything more than 1 year contracts with team options for the remaining years.

That may be so, but they wouldn't be true free agents just available to be cut if the team wants to. I also didn't look at the other free agents we signed, so there may be more validity to what you said, if you include those contracts as well.

When Golston plays nose tackle in place of Kemo or Montgomery...

I'll believe it when I see it. Unless he can get to about 310-315. Or unless that is on passing downs. Now THAT could see.

But I see him as a defensive end.

You beat me to it. Actually, I think Ratliff is the best NT in the game right now.

I also hope DS continues learning, so that we have a top notch owner for the rest of his tenure.

Back to Golston. I remember one of the two Montgomery and Golston were looked at as a guy who outperformed his potential, and one who underperformed, can anyone remind me which was which?

thanks

I wonder what makes them think he's expected to play NT when we have Kemo.

I could see Golston as a 1-gap penetrarting NT ala Ratliff but he's not Ratliff.

I think he would make a decent 3-4 DE/ 5-tech.

We have Kemo at NT..why do the redskins insist on getting guys that don't fit the NT mould...Haynesworth and Gholston for the real NT, Kemo??

Well Kemo is coming off a injury from last season. I think he missed most of last season. We need depth at the NT position so who knows who will be the starter this season.

Kemo may not even be on the field by the preseason...

Kemoeatu's Achilles' tendon is healed, but according to reports by Jason Reid of the Washington Post, Kemo's agent is stating that it is uncertain whether he will be in on-field condition by the preseason.

I like Golson as a Redskin.
Yes Ratliff is listed at 303, but he is much stronger than Golston.
Ratliff can disrupt and can break through double teams. Golston not as much. It is doubtful Golston will wake up tomorrow and play like Ratliff. He would have shown the ability by now. Golston is a good DL.

[jdc65]

The team has 3 NTs already. 3-4 DE is a weakness now, and if Haynesworth is gone, then End is a major problem. Golston has to be an End, IMO.
Way too many 4-3 DEs and 3-4 OLBs, and not enough 3-4 DEs and 3-4 ILBs.

[JLee9718]

Golston might not be a star, but he's a solid player on the defensive line. You never hear him complaining, like AH or CP.

Watching Montgomery at the U. of M he consistently made plays, his game was always in the oppositions backfield. Hard to figure what happened to him after coming here other than perhaps his work ethic.
