How is it that we didn't land either Linval Joseph or Arthur Jones?

I guess this is what the anti-Redskins method of free agency feels like. Weird to see us letting all the top talent go to other teams.

I have a feeling we'll make a push for Byrd now that most safeties have been picked up and we also haven't spent as much as I imagined. I thought Talib would be signed by now as well. Hmmmm

Do you sense that they are much stingier with contracts to defensive players than offensive ones? Just a feeling.

Thomas DeCoud is available and would be a nice pick up

Idk how good he is, but I have a hard time trusting a safety from a team with major defensive issues like the Falcons had last year.

Not so sure about that:

Rotoworld - Fantasy Football, Basketball, Football, Baseball and Hockey. Draft guide, news, projections, cheatsheets, depth charts and more.

After making the Pro Bowl in 2012, DeCoud was routinely burned on the back end last season. We don't expect him to have a strong market. DeCoud turns 29 in eight days.

One bad season does not make a career.

True enough. At the same time, just b/c he's from Cal, doesn't mean he's a good pick-up either.

It doesn't sound like he will be in all that high demand. Plenty of time to kick the tires on him and see if still has skills.

It has nothing to do with being from Cal, he actually had some decent seasons before last year.

lol ... just ribbing you. He did. I checked.

However, you have to admit, you have a tendency to be a bit biased to players from the West Coast, particularly the Cali, universities.

As to DeCoud, who knows. The fact that the Falcons, who were hurting on D, cut him loose says something I think. 2012 he's a pro bowler, 2013 he's apparently getting toasted on a regular basis. At 29, he is what he is and that's most likely a journeyman with declining skills.
