Another way to look at it...

That's the true reality of the situation at this point in time. Anything less is just another exercise in futility and pointless speculation.

Remember folks -- when the league goes uncapped, there will be fewer FAs, not more. Each team gets an additional tag to hold on to players so they can keep players much easier.

While this is true, those who are FAs will have their agents busting down Snyder's door, knowing that the man will show them the money. So while there are less FAs to choose from, if Snyder is still willing to open the checkbook, the cream of the crop so to speak should be here.

That's true but most of those guys will be over-the-hill overpriced plugs. If we don't draft Ts and Gs to go with them, then it will be same as now.

They're so many areas that need to be addressed, especially on the O line. We're going to have to look at the FA market in addition to the draft. The major problem with the FO (and we all know this) is that they scout FA names rather than talent. Our next FA pick ups have to be young up and coming players. I would be shocked if the Redskins FO actually scouted though. We'll probably end up with Brandon Marshall or worse, T.O.!

New rule, Sign no free agents over the age of 27.

That's what I was saying.

Also in an uncapped 2010 Rogers and Campbell are not unrestricted free agents.

[GTripp0012]

I like the assertion that Rogers = Smoot. Next week, DeAngelo Hall/Mark Carrier comparisons!

[tryfuhl]

We're moving Hall to safety? Or do you mean that his career dies here.. or what? I'm out of it right now

How about this way of looking at it:

Things won't get better until the Redskins have at least two solid drafts and build depth on both offensive and defensive lines. Let's accept that it would be preferable to unload as many high-salary players as possible now, load up on draft picks, and endure a couple of 4-12 seasons, rather than attempt another round of free-agent pickups in an effort to patch the unpatchable.

Of course, Danny is incapable of keeping his incompetent hands off draft and trade decisions, so draft-based growth is just a pipe dream.

What does the d-line need?

Load up on OL, the d-line is fine.
