Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

I'd REALLY love to just have one impact signing even if it's Orakpo. I don't want it just to "have one", but I see these others teams doing just fine resigning their own guys and still getting a big FA. I thought we had tons of cap space?

He was on my Skins draft wish list out of college. Get the ink ready.

A bit injury-prone and has not been what he could be in the pros, but he's a beast and is only 25.

Should be cheap and if we don't land a top RT, he'll be an upgrade. If we do get someone, solid backup for both tackle spots.

He was on IR all of last year, and played in 5 games the year before. Would this be a depth signing, or is he being looked at as a starter.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

Since we have not been spending on the secondary as we expected, we probably can afford Decker and I'd love that move. He can also return kicks...we need as many of those as we can get. Decker's visiting the Jets.

We have to be more attractive than them for a WR. We have a QB. They don't. Vick has been rumored to be an option for them, so they're apparently not sold or commuted to Geno Smith.

Some are suggesting Britt and Rice...I hate the idea of both. Neither can stay on the field, whether because of injuries or off-field issues. They've both shown that can play at a high level but both will be headaches.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

The team on Tuesday afternoon scheduled visits with free agent cornerback Corey Graham, who spent the past two seasons with Baltimore, and defensive end Antonio Smith — a 10th-year veteran who played for the Houston Texans the past five seasons. The two players are expected to arrive at Redskins Park on Wednesday.

Redskins free agency, Day 1: Riley, Moss back, WR Roberts, G Lauvao and LB Hayward added - The Washington Post

todays scheduled visits we know about so far:

- Right tackle Bruce Campbell (Panthers) to visit Redskins today, per Tandler

Bruce Campbell, T for the Carolina Panthers at NFL.com

- defensive end Antonio Smith

Antonio Smith, DE for the Houston Texans at NFL.com

- cornerback Corey Graham

Corey Graham, CB for the Baltimore Ravens at NFL.com

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

i would not count on campbell to be the answer at RT.

even if we signed him, im not sure he would make it on the opening day roster.

imo he has zero positives to hang your hat on other than he is a former terp and had "draft steal" hype in the draft.

Not zero. He is a great athlete. Perhaps the Skins think he can be "coached up". That's debateable but it might be worth a try at less than $1MM. We're not exactly loaded at OL.

Blocking TE? Jumbo Package? Safety?

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

Bruce Campbell made it to unrestricted free agency, huh? Vested veteran Bruce Campbell.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

Campbell was a combine hero a few years ago right?

Hasn't he pretty much been a bust?

Nothing wrong with giving him a look I guess, I'm just not seeing what there is to be excited about.

John Keim is always good, and he was excellent this morning on free agency:

On point as usual, can't argue with anything here really.
