How bad is our secondary?

[JoeRedskin]

Last year, a contract year, Rogers tore it up. I honestly don't know if he is doing the same again this year.

He didn't want to be here. He thought he deserved a long term big money deal that NO ONE offered him and settled for a one-year deal in SF. Had he played for us in the final year of his deal the way he played for SF in his one-year deal with them, he might still be here.

but, he didn't, he's not. Moving on.

You can also check out my 2013 free agent thread which had lots of secondary guys we could target as well.

Am I late to the party or can we rehash the proverbial MeAngelo vs. Los argument?

As a canes fan im curious about what will happen with ray ray armstrong. Got kicked off the team but the kid can flat out play. Maybe he will do some growing up by draft time and could be a steal in the later rounds.

Let's admit two things about Carlos Rogers, and then move on forever.

(1) Carlos was better than we thought, we definitely miss him & all would want him back. I'd wager if we had a poll on this board on who would take him back right now (if he actually wanted to be back here), most everyone would say yes.

(2) It was a good decision at the time to let him walk, since he underperformed here and was unhappy. It was our decision along with his, since it is likely we could have offered him a contract he would have accepted if it was lucrative enough -- but we didn't think he was worth it at the time. Good decisions still have risks and hindsight doesn't make the decision a bad one.


The other thing is, we had a losing team, losing culture, bad locker room guys, and a dysfunctional front office. Players didn't mind leaving. I'd wager that more players would want to be part of our team now because RG3 is here, and if a Redskins player like Rogers was offered the same contract on another team now -- they'd be more likely to stick it out here because there's a lot of potential & a better locker room than before.

Why to people always bring up Halls 50 million dollar contract, he wasn't given that by Bruce.

This crap pisses me off, and the Carlos Rogers subject he wanted a Hall type contract and we couldn't give that to a guy who under achieved here.

The assumption is that he can be cut, but that's also without understanding the massive cap hit that would happen because of his guaranteed money. Kinda like cutting Jamal Brown, but way worse.

DHall can be cut at anytime with very little, if any, dead cap space. Hall has no guaranteed money left (Or very little, I have heard estimates of literally around 300k at most). What you have to understand about Hall is that his guaranteed money is part of what our 36 mil cap penalty is about. We used a little known clause that allowed us to bring guaranteed money that is normally prorated over the life of the contract to be due in one year. Under normal circumstances, it counts against a cap. Since this clause was enacted in Halls and Haynesworths contracts during the uncapped year, the NFL hit us with a 36 mil penalty over two years (The amount of guaranteed money from both contracts that we dumped into the uncapped year was 36 mil).

Halls guaranteed money has already been paid to Hall during the uncapped year, and counts against the cap in the form of the 36 mil cap penalty. There is no double dipping of cutting Hall and having the guaranteed money count twice against the cap (dead cap space as well as the cap penalty).

True I guess he could be cut, but who is a better option. We always hear he can't cover, tackle and takes too many risks trying for ints. I will agree with two of those he is horrible in coverage and takes too many risks for ints, but his tackling has gotten better. I also believe I have seen his on kick coverage.

I was saying why he CAN'T be cut.

Looks like Hall was playing quite a while with a messed up pinky.

The Redskins secondary wasn't that bad last year considering how they played down the stretch run. In comparison to how they played earlier in the year, the defensive backs improved tremendously. The secondary coach stopped having the cornerbacks play trail technique so frequently, probably ordered by Coach Haz, and they played more man to man coverage and less soft zone coverage. Help is still needed in the secondary, most notably the two safeties.....

In the upcoming draft, the Redskins will probably select a safety and CB with their first two picks.... Need to Know: Kiper has Redskins going safety - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

i dont think we should cut him, just dont see him as expendable at this point..
