I am looking forward to the start of Free Agency!

Mostly, I'm interested in what the Skins can accomplish but I'm interested, in general, as well.

I think it's going to start fast and be a real donnybrook. That's because there are numerous good players available and it looks like more than half of the teams in the NFL will have over $20MM to spend. At least five or six teams could have over $30MM to spend with both Oakland and Indy having huge amounts of cap space at $64MM and $40MM, respectively, at present.

If Oakland is planning to spend, they could bring in several big-time players to lead their team.

Other than the Skins, Indy probably intrigues me the most because they already have Andrew Luck and now they have the opportunity to make some significant upgrades to their team in FA (and the draft).

Let's get ready to r-r-r-r-r-RUMBLE!

I'm such a sucker because I'm the same way. Over and over again, we've gotten burned by free agency and yet I'm such a Redskins news junkie it's like Christmas for me. My name is Paintrain and I have an offseason addiction.

I hope we're strategically aggressive and make good fit moves, not star chasing. I get the feeling we're past the big splashy moves. Allen has never been a 'name' guy, been almost cheap to be honest. Gruden seems like more of a grinder/prove it guy than a big name/flash guy. I won't be surprised with a decent sized day one move, laying low for a few days to let the market come to us and then a busy end of the week/start of week 2.
