Redskins free agent signings 2018

[skinsfaninok]

Per Rap sheet it appears Badger will be a Texan, apparently they will offer a wealthy deal, but again it's all speculation. I do wonder if we are even interested

Hello All,

I've been reading the forums for a while, and decided to join today, so I could chat/share with the other members.

I'm sure it's not lost on anyone that the Redskins stand to lose in a single offseason: Cousins, Grant, Murphy, Galette, Breeland, Fuller, Hall, and Brown. We will also finally feel the total affect of Scott M being gone as well. Didn't we learn a lesson last season letting half the offense walk?

I thought the method of building a winner was continuity and drafting, cultivating, and KEEPING your own talent? Instead, we let Murphy, Breeland, and Fuller (young talent we drafted) go to perform in their prime for some other team. It's beyond me why we haven't made more of an effort to nail down Brown and/or Galette. We're also hearing that Cravens is being shopped.

I know we cannot see what's happening behind the scenes, but from where I'm standing other teams are aggressively working to get better this offseason while the Redskins sit on the sidelines watching talent walk away. You'd figure a team that had a 7-9 season last year, and their division rivals winning a SUPERBOWL would be moving a little harder.

Instead of getting younger, we're getting older. Smith is 5 years older than Cousins, and (if we sign DRC) he's pushing 32 years old....no thanks.

This is NOT the definition of STABILITY or CONTINUITY.

Welcome. You need to ground yourself in the realities of the salary cap.

The Redskins currently have $21M in cap space. Murphy signed for $7M per year, Breeland signed for $8M, Grant for $7M, Niles Paul for $2.5M, and Spencer Long I'm not clear on what he's getting from the Jets. But point being, with our cap space, you could have kept Murphy and Breeland, and then had just enough to sign your draft picks. But that's it. Like completely it.

Reality is every one of those guys got more money than they deserved. We can replace them very well by patiently waiting and spending a fraction of what it would have cost to keep them.

The team was wise not to pay those prices. The Ravens will find themselves cutting Ryan Grant in two years. You can take that to the bank.

Problem is with the redskins that I don't trust them drafting either are front office is not good and as of right now we are definitely not better than last year and we still have no starting LG,or MLB,or a bona fide starting RB ,if we mess this draft up they should fire The Whole front office

I would point you to the thread I just started in the drafting section. Our past 5 drafts have been rock solid. The thread lists the drafts from 13-15, and barring ridiculous injuries the players have been solid NFL caliber, either here or on another team. I double checked 16 and 17 and while both drafts are early, 17 looks freakishly good with our current college scouting staff:
Jonathan Allen, Ryan Anderson, Fabian Moreau, Samaje Perine, Montae Nicholson, Jeremy Sprinkle, Chase Roullier, Robert Davis, Josh Harvey-Clemons, and Joshua Holsey


and 2016 with Scot is looking average to OK too: Fuller, Ionaiddis were strong positives Doctson, Craven, Sudfeld are average. That is the first 5 picks.

Just seems a cop out to say the Skins are bad at drafting.
