They were saying on NFL network that he told the raiders I would like 2 be close 2 home dont draft me, he's a Alambama guy.

Don't get me wrong I'd would like to sign him for depth.

FENNO: Pat White return to NFL would set troubling precedent - Washington Times


Anybody know this about Pat White? He had a lawsuit against the NFL for failure to protect him from head injuries. Really? This douche bag has the nerve to sue the NFL for head injuries and he was only in the league for one damn year. Not only that, he barely played. Now, after 4 years, he's decided his head injuries are ok so he's back to trying out for the NFL again?


**** this guy.

**** this guy.

I am a WVU fan, but that honestly I have forgotten about White as a pro because he did nothing. NOTHING, I actually watched Dolphins preseason games that year ('09) to see him play, he was bad or at least very underwhelming compared to what he did at WVU. He looked lost, couldn't read the defense, made bad throws, and he had a little razzle in the running game but he is small and knew he wouldn't last in the NFL.

The conspiracy theorists in me wonders if the Redskins will get something on the back end now that they rid the NFL of a law suit. (yeah right)

BUT.... JOEREDSKIN maybe be able to (hypothetically) answer if this would set a precedent of any kind for the other cases against the NFL?

IMO we have a FO that has the credentials to tell our owner relax we got this.

Well here's an oh sh!ter for y'all.

@BurgundyBlog: Not good. RT @seankjensen: Antoine Winfield is expected to visit the Seahawks early next week.


Of all teams to...

Talk about over kill in that secondary, but that'd be a hell of a task to play against that defense when healthy if that were to happen.

Seems like he would want to go to a place where he would start, not play nickel and dime packages. You know he's not going to get ahead of Seattle's two starting CBs. He has a good likelihood of starting here. I wouldn't sweat it too much.

well, he probably would start over Browner, and when theres 3 WR sets, he'd move to nickel and Browner would stay on the outside.

Bet they talk shit about FedEx.... (I know he played there in '12 & '11)

Wonder if it would scare away FAs. If RG III can attract them then FedEx could send em running.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

That seems like way overkill for those guys. But whatever, the rich keep getting richer.

I would take the kid who won ROY over the runner up personally. Of course it would be such sweet revenge to beat the Hawks in the playoffs next year at SEA if he signed there. HAHAHAHAHA.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Browner and the other asshole (Sherman) are UFAs next year I believe.

[RGIII]

At this point, I can't imagine Winfield is still desperately needed. Do me a favor Winfield and go for the money elsewhere. Why string this thing out any longer? I'm looking forward to the draft.

[ethat001]

We've seen time and again that putting a high priced FA into a different system may bite you in the a$$. I had a feeling that CB's were different, because cover skills should translate to different systems -> but Nnamdi is a recent example where it can backfire.

However, it is enticing to see a secondary that includes: Winfield, Wilson, Hall, Biggers, with a healthy Merriweather and sober Jackson backing them up. Then a couple of draft picks and vets.. There'd still be big issues, but last year we scored 27 ppg (#4) and gave up 24ppg (#22) -- any defensive improvement from last year could keep us contenders for the playoffs and a lucky streak would get us into the SuperBowl.


I'd hate to see Winfield go to Seattle. If they keep their team together, it looks like we're going to have to go through them for the next decade to get to the SuperBowl.
