Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

Is Thomas going to be ready to start?

a) he is still a rookie in terms of game experience
b) a Lisfranc injury like his takes a LONG time to heal - just ask Joe Red. Will he be healthy at the start of the season?

I think Kenny Britt would be a mistake for anything other than a very cheap, 1 year, prove it contract. More queston marks than production.

I would be okay with a multiple year deal if it was incentive based on behavior and performance.
It's simple, you perform and act like an adult you get paid. Act like a kid, you get cut!

That would be a good contract.

By the time the season starts, it will be a full year since the injury. It happened in the first pre-season game. By the end of the season, he was off crutches and in a walking boot. I have heard reports that he is doing some running already. Sounds like the recovery is coming along, but we really wont know until we start OTA's or even into training camp.

Good. Obviously I wish him a speedy return. But I wonder if he can be counted on.

Helu had the same injury and had no problems last year.

It does, my brother-in-law had the same injury and it took him about 15-18 months to feel "fine" or "100%" but he wasn't a professional athlete. I guess it depends on how serious the injury was and where he is now. But, I still think by season end he will have implemented himself as the SS and who knows, maybe Baccari Rambo has a Superman like 2nd season.

Yeah, but I'm sure your bro in law doesn't get top notch treatment and therapy like these athletes do. I really wanna see him in the starting line up by seasons end.

I would say probably not. He's going to need some time as this is really going to be his rookie season. But I'm sure we're going to see a lot of Thomas this year.
