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.

The guy is not even a starter in Arizona, he's a backup. I thought they wanted starter material?
