Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

Why do I get the sense that Free Agents dont want to come play in Washington? Is it the FO, organization as a whole, the new coaching staff, Haslett as D-cor? I woulda thought RG3 would have attracted more players to come on offense...

I think its a legit question, but an assumption on my part...

In the case of Sproles, the problem was not a player's choice, the problem was that we just didn't pony up. I wonder if this is true for others - they'd come to us if we offered enough $$ but we didn't.

I heard the Mitchell deal was the same as Pittsburg offerred. Also that the Cleveland guard we got was like 3rd choice, the other 2 guys who got similar deals went somewhere else.

I don't understand the love for Mitchell, he's an average safety that had a good year. He wasn't that good with the Raiders, he was projected as a 7th rounder even possibly a FA.

Maybe Allen, the diehard Skin, has overestimated the attractiveness of our team due to his own misplaced fondness. Perhaps we needed to sweeten a couple of deals with more $$ to overcome players' 3-13-phobia.
