2012 Free Agency Wish List

[los panda]

can't hurt the chances

If people said that about Moss in New York, they would have been wrong. Eddie Royal's one good season came as a rookie with Shanahan calling the shots.

I don't think that means Shanahan shouldn't take a flyer on him to see if he's got the same skill set he did in 2008, but chances are he doesn't, and he won't be an improvement over Banks in the return game, and won't give the Redskins a useful receiver in the passing game. Not that it's not worth a shot to see if Royal can surprise, but he's unlikely to provide any help here.

Well since we might not have Moss, Armstrong, Stallworth, and Austin it would make sense I guess... not like Banks or Austin saw much time at WR. And Stallworth was cut before being brought back. Though I think we will carry one less receiver this year.

I would say an 100% no to Colston or V. Jackson. How many times have we seen FA wr's go to another team and flame out? Plus Colston will be 29 and he's always got a bum knee. Jackson has had too many DUI's. Too risky. I would go out and get the best guard or right tackle that's out there.

Those are probably both the same guy: Carl Nicks.

He's the best available free agent, until Manning is released.

1. QB
2. QB
3. WR
4. WR
5. Everything else

Not sure Nicks fits the mold of what Shanahan wants in a guard. But I personally wouldn't care and neither should they. He's a serious upgrade over anyone we currently have. Hopefully he's on their list but I doubt it. They already have money tied up in Chester and they like Cory L. But perhaps they could sign Nicks and move Cory L. over to center.

If Nicks wasn't what Shanny was looking for in a guard, why the hell would we give him a big money deal? You don't sign players that you aren't sure can fit your system.

Royal could be a Gaffney type of player here. I'd have no issue with bringing him in, but he doesn't solve our need for a big play guy.

Plus Royal will only be 26 at the start of the season.

Can we really use two players with the initials, ER?

I don't see why not. Better than getting "MF" Matt Flynn right?

[IrMitchell]

I'm all for Eddie Royal, and I think Eddie Royal is all for Mike Shanahan.

He brings some legitimacy, and more big plays.

Colston--we need height!
WR-Colston, Gaffney, Moss, Armstrong and Hankerson
RB-Helu/Hightower
FB-Young/Schmidt
QB- RGIII/Rex/Hill or Hoyer

Pretty sure Armstrong will be gone and why was Royster left out there.
