That sounds right to me. And my guess is that Woodson has more left in the tank too.

Here's the thing. Woodson didnt sign because GB wanted to rework his contract and bring him back at a lower number. I think he believes he will get paid on the open market, and bet he will. I just hope it isnt us. We can find a starter in this years draft for safety and or CB. This is a deep defensive draft. Freeney does not fit at all. I would rather have Brace than freeney. Freeney is a straight up 43 DE.

If we ran a 43, sure. But we don't.

As to Woodson, I agree with your assessment as to why he left. Not sure he is going to get paid. If he hangs around for a bit and is looking for a home at a reasonable short term price, I would be happy to have him here. Don't think it is going to happen or that it should even be a priority. From everything I am reading, the draft is deep at the safety position.

I'm normally against this type of signing but I wouldn't mind Woodson coming here at all, just as long as we draft a guy that's waiting in the wings. He'd be a perfect short term solution at safety.

First off, I don't follow the rest of the league enough to have an idea of how much Woodson has left. Nevertheless, I looked at some 2012 Woodson highlights (for what it's worth) and in those highlights he was making plays all over the place, as usual. I'm thinking he may have 1-2 years left in the tank.

Remember when the Redskins were looking at using DeAngelo Hall closer to the LOS in a "Charles Woodson like role"? What about getting Charles Woodson himself for that role? He's certainly a perfect fit for some of the things the Skins want to do in the secondary. If he were to struggle some on the outside, I suspect that he could still dominate TE's and slot receivers.

I don't know but I have the feeling that Woodson could do a lot for us. He has been a great player and a big time playmaker in this league.

The key to getting him would probably be to convince him that we can win it all in a year or two.

Wes Welker would be excellent. He gets open. He could move the chains and then defense in the draft. A winning combination.

[skinsfan69]

I think Welker goes back to NE. I don't see how they let him walk.

They let vets walk all the time.

What they don't do is overpay for a guy who's on the wrong side of 30 or perhaps a bit past their prime.

I'll actually be more surprised if he doesn't go somewhere else.

Denver , Baltimore , Atlanta ( If Tony G. Retires ) , maybe even NYG ?

that's hard to believe that they'd let that type of production and brady's favorite target leave. i could see if his numbers were tailing off...

I want Chris Rainey. He is a speedback that would be good in certain packages for us. He is a low risk high reward, sign him to a one year deal.

His girlfriend would like it too if we signed him since apparently he has a lot of time to beat her.

Where do you get low risk from? They guy has had off the field issues since college. He obviously can't do what he's supposed to. Last type of person we need on the team and in the locker room.

Let Dallas sign him. Dez needs someone else to hang out with on the weekends and have a family slap-fest.
