Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013

Play with Brandon Weeden or Robert Griffin? Hmmm.... Tough decision...

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

I can't see anything other than money and returning to his hometown as being reasons to sign with CLE.

He continued: “I even asked Bruce why [the offer] changed, and he said, ‘It’s because of the cap,’ and I got emotional, because this is home. I love the fans, I love the team and the coaches and the guys in that locker room, and the city. But, God’s moving me in a different direction, and it’s the Cardinals. Hopefully, I’ll be able to carry over the same type of hard work and play that I had here, and bring it there. But it was definitely hard. It just didn’t add up for me to stay. But I know, in my heart of hearts, if it wasn’t for the cap, I would've been here.”

This is an exert from an article in the Washington Post.

Zo wanted to come back, we wanted him back, the cap penalty cost us and he knows it. No hard feelings and what ever was written before about him being upset with the organization was just looking for press. I wish the guy the best.

Former second rounder who has had some shoulder problems but reported to play well when healthy.
I think this may be a decent signing.

[That Guy]

can't be worse than polombus right?

I know it's early, but i don't like the THOUGHT of Trueblood, Pashos, or Compton starting at RT Wk. 1

That's true... Though unsubstantially, arguably all three are better

I like Pashos a lot more than Trueblood, who is one of the worst lineman in the NFL. He couldn't keep his starting job last year, benched due to excessive suckage on a bad team.

Compton has more potential than Trueblood, who has a track record already.

I think the competition is between Compton and Pashos, who was good before missing last year to injury.

Maybe we'll get lucky in the draft but I doubt it...we need a secondary still. Another RB is probably a good idea. I'm still holding out hope that Helu can return to form and Hightower can come back but right now if Morris goes down, we need someone better than Royster.



Coincidently, the Bucs stopped dressing him for games against the Skins.

The more I read, the less I like this move. Also heard he averaged 10.7 penalties from 06-09. If Compton can show significant improvement during OTA'S, Minicamp, and Training Camp, with Pashos and another draft pick competing to start I won't be as concerned about RT

I'm worried also but who knows, maybe he comes in here and the scheme is a better fit for his skills? IDK.

[vallin21]

I know he's (Fred Davis) from Ohio, but man, Brandon Weeden, or RG3??
