Who should we go for in Free Agency?

Actually in the last five years we've drafted 9 people for the offensive line. That's near two complete lines.

The problem is, we suck at drafting. If we leave Long and Moses out of it as too early to call, we took 7 swings and connected only once.

2014
Morgan Moses T 3rd
Spencer Long G 3rd

2012
Josh LeRibeus G 3rd
Adam Gettis G 5th
Tom Compton T 6th

2011
Maurice Hurt G 7th

2010
Trent Williams T 1st
Eric Cook C 7th
Selvish Capers T 7th

We don't have many high picks.

In 5 years we've only had 1 first round and no second rounders?

You can't build a quality line around that.

You also need someone who can develop offensive linemen. Like what the Patriots have been able to do.

Not sure where to put this post.

I was looking at the cap info on the Warpath. (I'm sure it takes much effort. Thanks to those responsible, it's great)

What was the rationale for keeping Bowen last year coming off an injury with a huge cap hit?

Haslett loved Bowen. It could have alsoe been a release fee issue, cutting him cost us as much as keeping him.?.?
Between Bowen and Orakpo we had a ton of money tied up on two guys that did very little last season.

Should we bring back Jarvis Jenkins? To me he's been another draft bust, round 2 pick folks

Yes on the cheap. He's young and we can't replace everyone in a year.

Nope, not even a little bit.

New Englandish?

Larsen looks promising. 6' 4" 315 center.

Redskins sign 2 linemen who took very different paths to Ashburn | Comcast SportsNet Washington

Tyler Larsen Looking To Be Center Of Attention

Larsen looks good on paper- 5.1 speed 36 BP reps.... must look bad on the field

I'm in favor of giving any young player who might possibly help us a chance. Also, specific to Larsen, we could stand to get bigger at the center position.

I agree, Larsen could be someone who could be coached up.... plus he will be cheap. The Redskins need to bring in 10-20 of these type of players, and maybe 2 or 3 will develop.

Randy Starks is expected to be cut- how about a one year contract if you can get a hometown discount ?

then cut Bowen, and Coefield ..... and save $$$$$$$$$
