Teams talk to players A LOT... starters, backups, etc

TALKING to someone is nothing

what a bunch of dramatics

I think it's the history of this team that continues to fan the flames. People remember when it comes to big name free agents, the Redskins always lead the pack.

He's considered one of the top defensive tackles available. He was "cut" by the Cleveland Browns this week. Some fans have a difficult time believing teams cut their top players.

This post from a poster at Washington Post caught my eye: Responding to Redskin Insider: Shaun Rogers meets with Redskins, signing is not imminent.

If this team gives a 32 year-old NT with a history of injuries, questionable work ethic, and off-field issues a contract worth $5 million/yr and let their most productive WR (and damn near ONLY playmaker) walk away coming off a career season when the same price could keep him in burgundy and gold, then it's gonna be awfully hard to sell anyone the notion that the Redskins are in better hands now than they were before...[UNQUOTE/

Whether their intention is to sign him or not, it's the above mind-set that has been adopted when it comes to the Redskins and free agents.
