Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?

[IrMitchell]

I think if we're gonna make a move it should be for one of Paul Posluszny, Chad Greenway or Barrett Ruud.

Is Pittsburgh really going to let Woodley walk? I doubt it.

I think he may want to test the market, especially after they didn't give him the long term deal he wanted last summer

Regardless, even though I know I said his name has been attached to the Skins. I don't believe he's coming here, similar to the Peppers situation last year

What will make free agency even more interesting this year is that it will probably come AFTER the draft. This will possibly mean teams will be less focused on filling a need in the draft and more on getting the best player available. In turn, teams will fill in the remaining team needs after the draft.

Free agency cant begin until a new CBA is reached, and its not expected to be reached before March when FA has historically begun. I had not considered that aspect of it but Larry Weisman was talking about it on ESPN980 yesterday.

In my opinion, it makes more sense for the draft to occur before free agency, atleast from the teams perspective.

You are correct. They were talking about it yesterday also on the radio that we might just see the draft come first for a change if the CBA is not resolved. Free agency might end up being over the summer, which might be a good thing for the Skins for a change. Force them to use the draft vs. throwing away draft picks.

Seems more likely the cba won't be resolved by draft time. I think this will make for some interesting scenarios as pertains to movement in the draft. Will more teams want to trade out of the top 10 to avoid the big salaries & reserve some funds for free agents? Or will there be more interest in moving up into the top 10 since teams haven't signed any FAs?

Exactly... The NFLPA wont like it though, as this will result in most teams holding off on signing beterans until everything else shakes out. As an example, if the draft had occurred prior to free agency in 2010, we probalby wouldnt have wasted our time bringing in Larry Johnson and Willie Parker.

We did [start to] break tradition last year. All of the old guys are cuttable with no cap hit. Bruce Allen sure has brought his contract designing expertise to the table.

Also, we didn't overpay for the likes of Willie Parker and Larry Johnson. BA has definitely brought some financial responsibility to the team.

Ahhh yes, I didn't think about that aspect of it either. Agree that it makes more sense too, though when has that ever changed anything haha? I know from my madden franchises the frustration that order brings...

Some interesting news.... especially in regards to Sinorice Moss.

Redskins work out veteran wide receiver; Haynesworth shows up - Yardbarker

The team worked out two players late last week, a source confirmed.

One of them was WR Sinorice Moss, the younger brother of Redskins WR Santana Moss.

Sinorice Moss was selected in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the New York Giants, who waived him from injured reserve on Nov. 9.
