Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1
Like the Barnett signing. Good stopgap/backup. As others said, he may by us a year or two after London to develop a long-term replaceement.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1
i dont understand why barnett was available and was left sitting on the shelf in the bargain aisle.
admittedly i havent followed the NFl as much over the past 2 years but i thought barnett and matthews were going to be a LB duo for the pack for years to come . . maybe the rodgers signing really crunched their cap space .. but to be able to take a flyer on a nick barnett and see what he can contribute is a very nice luxury imo. im just worried why no other team picked him up earlier.

He was probably on the NFL scrap heap because he's a 32 year old LB. While he's still been productive there's not a huge market for LBs his age. |

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1
I got mixed feelings on the Barnett signing. But the pickings are pretty slim at this point.
To be honest, my bigger question is about next off-season. Let's assume London is gone. Even if Keenan is healthy is he ready to step in to a starting role after nearly two years of not being able to play and develop on the field? But we can worry about that later

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1
Given that Keenan is oft-injured and Fletch is near the end, perhaps we should use some of our restored cap space next year to sign a hotshot ILB out of free agency.

speaking of linebackers, Riley needs to get an extention. I def dont think you start an injury prone ILB who hasnt seen the field in a year and half. Id say look at the market and bring someone in reasonable.

I expect us to draft highly and/or sign highly an ILB next year. After Perry, there's more questions than answers on the depth chart.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1
I watched Barnetts Press conf. He seems like he is a good team guy and has a good attitude. Like Matty said, he is 32 and teams don't really go after players that age anymore.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1
I see that the minor injuries are starting to kick in for a lot of guys. As long as they stay minor and not major (knock on wood) then we re good.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1
Fletcher and Barnett both know what it takes, and what it feels like, and that's a good thing.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1
Anyone know the easiest/best way to get VIP passes? It used to be you could give blood and get them (not that I need that incentive to give blood
 ). REALLY want to get some cool pics and last Saturday it was slammed and I couldn't even get close.
