2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread

[Ruhskins]

I'm going to go insane if they line up Rabach at center again. Dude gets trucked over time after time it is ridiculous. I know he's a nice guy and a good leader, but we need to get better period.

I think their no. 1 priority should be guard, and RT if Brown leaves. I really hope Brown doesn't leave, b/c that would mean another bunch of draft picks wasted. Yanda would be a HUGE pick up, I think we should pay Yanda anything he wants. The guy 26 years old and could be a force a guard for years to come.

I don't get the fascination with Cofield. If we were 4-3 team I'd say let's go after him, but the guy has played as a 4-3 DT for his entire career and I don't think we need another 4-3 player taking a year to learn the 3-4 defense. I like C. Jenkins, I wish he was younger. K. Jenkins would be a nice pick up (for a reasonable price) as a NT mentor to our young linemen.

We will sign the big name CB Asamough, Shanahan loves his shut down corners.
(anyone remember ol' champ?)

Skins Fans, look at it this way, there is no way our defensive line could play any poorly this year than last. With the addition of nnamdi and Atogwe to an already solid Landry and Hall..........along with the addition of our stud rookie OLB, our defense is looking much better and definitely rejuvenated. Add an upgraded NT, and you got yourselves a damn good defense. I am actually itching to get asamough. He might be the upgrade needed to turn our secondary as well as our defense from solid to great.


People seem to be forgetting, we have some excellent players on the defensive side of the ball! Here are my list of optomistic points that some fans might be forgetting about.

1. Secondary. With Atogwe added, FS is a concern no longer. Landry is free to roam and obliterate people, and should have a lot more oppurtunities this year than last. Last season he was a beast. Lets see how he grows when he actually has a solid FS, and possibly one of the premier shut down corners in the game roaming the WR wastes with him (Asamough). Expect Landry to be an all pro this season.

2. Our LB's - Cant wait to see the rookie beast play alongside Orakpo and Fletcher. Put a beefy, solid ILB next to fletcher thru free agency, and you have yourselves a very talented, very solid group. Expect big things from them this season.

3. Our D-Line - It cant get much worse than last year. I think its a foregone conclusion that we sign a FA NT this offseason, and I cant wait for that to happen. That instantly upgrades the line. Lets hope Carriker keeps hammering away, and we find the player on our roster who will take the reigns at the other DE position and excel. This unit will be MUCH improved this season.

4. Our Front Office - Shanahan and his son can do nothing but improve on last season. They are committed to making this team better, and with a heady decision maker in Allen, and an owner who will do and spend anything to win, lets hope their best attributes mend together into a winning formula. They proved they want competition on the roster and will let younger guys compete, as evidenced by the end of last season, and the largest draft class in the league. I think with the experience and wise decision making that BA and MS brought to this team when they were hired, it should really let Daniel Snyders best qualities shine through.

I'm sure guys like Kory L. and Montgomery will get strong looks at C, but I'm not expecting them to look outside the team for a new center
