whats the word or carlos? dont we have to tender him by 11:59 pm tomorrow or he becomes a FA?

i havent heard anything about carlos which scares me into thinking the skins might just let him walk which i would have a real real hard time understanding.

I hope Reed and Golston stay.

I would be shocked too. Even if he isn't in your plans, a starting corner in the last year of his rookie deal has value.

The Post has us tendering Rocky now so maybe they just haven't announced the tender to Carlos yet.

Rogers will get tendered, can't see him not getting one.

Now the Ravens are supposedly looking at Walter from the Texans hard....

The Ravens have a big need at WR... I don't see WR high on our list of priorities

I agree with you just pointing out that Ravens were interested in him since some people were hoping we would pick Walter up since he knew K.Shanahan's offense.

This year I've a different perspective on FA than last year's off-season. I want to see how Allen handles our FAs. From what it sounds like, all the guys that are worth a damn are getting 2nd round tenders or are going to get tendered. That's a far cry from the day when we'd just let everyone hit the bricks.

Soup = will be tendered
Golston = will be tendered
Doughty = will be tendered
Raback = in negotiation.
Rogers = will be given a pair of hands to replace his bricks.

I'm sure there wil be a few more that'll work something out.

Whoa, Rocky sounds a tad bitter:

Redskins Insider - McIntosh 'on short end of the stick' in uncapped year

Shortly after the interview ended, McIntosh called back to make a few more points.

"And one more thing," McIntosh said. "What can they say about me? Statistically, I'm proven and I'm consistent. I mean, what? They try to knock me down because of my knees or whatever. Oh, yeah, I missed a couple of games, but other than that I've been out there. I've always been to training camp and I've always practiced, so you can't say I'm hurt.

"And they dang sure can't say I'm a punk. Make sure you put that out there, you know, in terms of me being out there on the field and not being physical because I am. So there's nothing that they can say [negative] about me. It's tough because under this collective bargaining agreement, I fall under a restricted free agent. But if you don't want me, and you don't want to give me anything that's even close to fair, just let me go. Let me start over somewhere else."

^ Yeah, he sounds a little pissed. He's played well but not great. Not sure what he expects.

Yep, mine too. Solid player. In the 3-4 scheme, "Players in the secondary will have more responsibility in terms of making calls, and Doughty is among the brightest on the team coaches and players say."

[Chico23231]

^wow...i mean come on man everybody is dealing with the CBA issue. I think Rocky has been decent, but with this new scheme coming, I dont think it will fit him as others. I think the low tender is the right move, right now. If he excells this year, he will get paid.
