Good signings so far, showing they know they need alot more to really contend.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

After the initial reports of Sproles getting released Monday night, it was speculated (Rich Tandler) that we were the frontrunners for him.

Now that it's a trade situation, I wonder if we're still interested?


Gruden knows how to use 2 RBs effectively, as he did with BJGE and Bernard last season.

My question is who can we afford to trade? Certainly not draft picks...

Kirk Cousins for Sproles.

Kirk for a 2nd or a player full time starter.

Otherwise, keep him as a backup.

Fair enough. I suppose I consider a talented 3rd down back to be a "full time starter" and so worthy of a trade. NFLN has reported that 10 teams are interested in a trade for Sproles, so he has value. But I agree that we should get full value for KC.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

If it's a late pick, I'd trade for for Sproles. Unlikely a 6th or 7th-round pick would have the impact of Darren Sproles and we DO need another RB on the roster since we really only have Morris and Helu as usable-quality backs.

New Orleans will probably take anything they can get to end the embarrassment of the way they've handled Sproles in the last few days. No way they can keep him now.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

Yeah, Cousins' trade value is much higher than Sproles. The FA RBs aren't finding much of a market for them.

Apparently his positive pff grade doesn't mean much....


He is just coming off a knee injury. That can't help.

I guess teams aren't thrilled with a 2 down backer.

We are about 8 years late doing that.
