I think he was mentioned in an earlier thread, but any reason why the Redskins aren't going after Khalif Barnes? He seems (on paper) a better player than Ray Willis. I know the Jags sucked this past year, but he would seem to be an upgrade over Heyer and JJ.

Khalif Barnes, wasn't he the tackle who gave up the most sacks last year??? I know he was injured but somebody mentioned the above statement (unsubstantiated though). He is a mauler in the running game making room for MJD and Taylor but don't know much about his pass protection. Anybody got any inside info on Barnes?

One thing I've noticed about the Redskins over the past few years is that if you don't hear anything (doesn't mean they have to go after him right away) about a prospective player as soon as they're available then the chances are the team won't go after them at all. We've heard about Ray Willis so I don't doubt that the team will try and make a run at him should he still be available. Kalif Barnes on the other hand hasn't been mentioned outside of the message boards.

Of course you end up with random guys like Fred Davis and Justin Tryon that no one had the slightest clue were being looked at but those instances seem to be rare. In fact I can't remember the last time we signed a possible starter where no one had any idea we were trying to sign them.

I didn't hear one word about Hanyesworth before he was signed.
