I don't know why he's out there, if he is

Brian Dawkins maybe?

Hmmm. I'd take him over Williams anyday. You might be on to something Angry.

Yeah, it was either yesterday or the day before. I saw a news report questioning why, on the 20th anniversary of the day he bought the Cowboys, he would be spending time in Philadelphia.

Well, I guess this solves that mystery:

Convenient itinerary though, given how close Baltimore is to Philthy.

This would be nice: Hunter Smith

on the free agent front, the Redskins obviously need a punter and veteran Hunter Smith would appear to be a good fit.

The Redskins aren't allowed to contact Smith's agent, Tom Mills, until 12:01 a.m. Friday even though Smith opted out of his contract with Indianapolis. The contract doesn't expire until midnight.

Smith's 38.8-yard net average was far better than the Redskins' collective 33.4-yard net average, which was last in the NFL. Smith spent the first 10 years of his career kicking half of his games indoors but he's worth a look.

Mills said if the Redskins are interested, Smith is interested.

"It would be a logical destination," Mills said

Anyone have any thoughts on Geoff Hangartner (Panthers backup OL)?

I know he was 1st team all-big 12 (Texas A&M) in 2004. Isn't he a center? Could be a nice depth move if he can play some guard, too. He'd definitely be inexpensive.

Starting caliber Center who should be more cost-effective than Jason Brown.

The Center market is absolutely loaded though not only in free agency, but in the draft.

If Rabach is on the team next year we have only the front office to blame.

Buffalo’s purge continues. The bills released tight end Robert Royal today. Earlier, they let go of guard Derrick Dockery. The Bills are clearing cap space and making moves, and they might not be done. Royal was also a Skin at one time

He also sucked to high heaven.

Please no one recommend that we pick up Royal because he was one of our more terrible players of the past. He could not catch and when he did, he could not hold on to the ball.

The guy is a walking turnover.

We held on to him because of potential. It never developed. Please...don't even think about it.

[GMScud]

Everyone calm down. No one suggested we go after Royal. 44 just mentioned he used to be a Redskin.

Oh I agree Skinny. The only reason I even posted it is because of his past ties with the Skins. I don't think anyone wants this guy
