Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

Hatcher said that he signed while visiting Oakland because Washington blew away the market for his services.

The defensive line is the one place where the team is vastly improved over last season.

So we ARE willing to pay above market value for a piece of the puzzle that we think is worth it.

I like it, because although the secondary gets a lot of bad press, you can't ask them to cover the receiver like a blanket for 10 seconds while we are still trying to get to the QB.

Increase the pressure on the QB and our secondary (even last year's secondary) looks a whole lot better.

Whining like a b*tch. How much does he really expect us to throw at him? It'll be a decent pickup but we should definitely not over pay for a 35 year old whose clearly lost a step.

does he mean fans showing love? or the organization treating him poorly?

Probably means undervaluing his worth financially in his opinion. Big mistake to let him go the first time. Not sure what he expects this time around at 35 and looking for a 2 year deal. I wouldn't be surprised either way if it does or doesn't work out.

Hire him has a FS coach he would probably get more $$$.

[Mechanix544]

Did he really just say that? To be confident is one thing, to show disrespect for an organizations fans who might be one of the few teams in the league to value your skills is totally another. Ryan Clark must be a dumbass mother fucker. Let him peddle his ass outside the soup kitchen, slothy mother fucker.

Browner was a no show today. He is going to sign with the Pats.

Heard scout Chris Landry,who has been critical of the skins in the past in free agency, wholeheartedly praise the approach and went down every transaction giving it high praise. Said Roberts and hatcher were the right call and fit. Said he have to see the contract of hatcher but assumed with Bruce it would fine. Said Riley and orakpo were the right call. Not overpaying for free safety was the right call, said Chris Clemons should be someone we needed to look at. Even mentioned geathers, sharp ton and hey ward were all good role players made sense and good value. Porter he said would be a good value, thrives in the slot. He mentioned that both safetys needed to be upgraded for sure. He only concern was the guard was an over pay but likes the fit in the offense. Mentioned Steiger move to center is a stronger position for him.

I was surprised he was so positive, good stuff coming from Landry

I've always liked/respected Chris Landry. He doesn't always say stuff that 'skins fans want to hear, but looking back, I'm not sure he wasn't right about most.

I'm not close enough to talent evaluation to say if we've truly upgraded thus far, but at least the FO is trying to and most moves appear to be "smart" moves and not reaching for over-hyped stars past their prime.

I hear what u saying. Landry is good because he talks skill set, best fits scheme-wise and of course film breakdown. I think what u gotta understand is he can say one thing but if the coaching staff takes a guy and uses him wrong then it wasn't cause Landry was incorrect.
