Time to kick the tires on Redskins1. In 24 hours the first big name will be on board! ha ha ha

The Post didn't reveal anything new about Gibbs' intentions re: free agency. He has been saying for months that the Redskins would be "aggressive" in free agency if the CBA got extended. Redskins.com has even been reporting that the Redskins were possibly looking to upgrade at WR, CB, DE and along the O-line (for depth). So, from my perspective, it's not the WP article changes anything.

As I said earlier in this and other threads, I think we'll probably add 1-3 starting-caliber players and some depth. That wouldn't unreasonable or crazy; that would be what we all have expected and the norm for an offseason. I, and I think others, would be highly surprised if Gibbs added 5+ starters.

What I was saying would be crazy, would be to go after a bunch of big-name players who are going to command 8-figure bonuses. I would be surprised if we got two players with 8-figure bonuses.
