This could be a crazy thought but maybe the Re dskins are willing to see what they get out of Rambo and Thomas before throwing 10mill at a safety

Ward and Talib with Ware on the way. Guess the realized how shitty that defense was.

Im actually really disapointed in FA day1 ill be honest. Few resignings, few special teamers, and possible replacement/backup for OL? Wtf was Allen doing today.. playing golf while Mitchell was being signed by Pitt or what???? If we have the same secondary were fkd.. corey graham mark my words isnt the answer. Smh.

The skins are being smart by not over paying some of these FA, like John Keim says there are some big contracts coming up next year (RGIII, Williams, Garçon, Morris) don't want to shoot your load and end like Dallas next year.

Maybe those guys didn't want to come here or management finally realized that winning free agency each year never works.

I believe it's reflective of what they are trying to do and what most fans have been screaming for in years past: Grow your own.

21-23 players (out of 27 picks) from the last four drafts are likely to be on the day 1 roster. Not all of them are splashy. Not all of them are stars, but if the roster culture is going to change we are going to see more of these types of UFA day 1's.

What has to happen now is twofold: (1) Young players need to step up; and (2) the team needs to win. If they can do those two things, chasing after big UFA's to fill real roster holes will stop and UFA will become a time when we pick up an upgrade here or there.

if you want to build from within, you gotta give the guys that are "in" a chance to develop and not churn through the back end of the roster while you overpay for guys who may or may not pan out. Even that's true of the younger guys, at least you aren't wrecking your salary structure over imports. (i.e. if Riley regresses and we need to cut him, it simply is not going to cause a whole lot of cap pain).

soo the broncos had roughly 16 million under the cap but landed Talib and are the favorites to get Ware......how does that work?

I doubt Ware is going to command big money.

Dude hasn't played football in two years, and is still suspended, I think it's officially time to stop mentioning his name.

With nearly every area of the team in need of upgrades, we should have realized that the Skins were probably not going to sign any top FA's other than Orakpo. Bruce Allen even said that he wanted to add 20 new players this off-season.

Still, I was anticipating one more top FA signing, like a kid hoping for a pony at Christmas. Now, it looks like we're going to have to build a better foundation before that happens. I'm not complaining (much). It makes sense but ...WHERE'S MY PONY?!!!

Exactly. I feel the same way.

Honestly, I thought the Redskins did pretty all right yesterday. They avoided most of the huge free agency mis-steps. They weren't one of the teams that got a lot better yesterday, but they have most of their cap room available still and can still find some value later on.

I remain perplexed by the way they evaluate the players they do sign, but they do seem very able to get a deal done with a player they want, particularly on offense. I'll be interested to see what the plan is on defense going forward, but they haven't missed out on all this talent that people are suggesting. They've mostly just missed out on huge, problematic contracts.
