Re: Redskins Free Agency Thread

Love AP's contract.

So far it almost feels like our FO's thinking "let's build a badass D, admit next season is a rebuilding one, and worry about the offense later"... But Jay and/or Bruce having to save their jobs, I don't see them going into the season with so many holes on one side of the ball.

Per OTC, we currently have 16.8M available, not including AP's 2.5M cap hit.
So that's 14.3M.
Could create some more space by extending Scherff (WTF are they waiting for?!!!) and cutting VD (maybe even Mason Foster but then you have to worry about ILB depth).

So we still have some cap to maneuver with.
What I would prefer to happen is us signing a proven vet at LG and a solid #2 like Donte Moncrief, then go WR/Edge rusher in the first 2 rounds... and hope you can trade for Rosen or do something at QB without compromising your future...

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I want us going TE if Hockensen is available at 15. Talk about an area that has felt neglected for years. You just can't count on Reed.

That is a lot to ask for with only 14.3 million available and still needing to draft. Agree cuts need to be made but as you point at what cost? I never feel like the Skins ever go in with an adequate amount of $ and are always up against the cap going into FA and draft. Would love for them to blow the whole thing up and go into a full rebuild.

When they're able to sign a 84M contract and structure it so the first year cap hit is 4M, I don't think it's that crazy to hope 15M-20M would be enough to get a decent LG, a #2 WR and sign our draft picks. That's assuming we could get Rosen, which right now I'll admit is a pretty big reach... but even if we don't, Keenum has proven to be capable of playing decently with the proper supporting cast.
