Beyond those two, I don't know. Perhaps Prince Amukamura could help us.

I'm really not expecting the Skins to achieve much in FA with all of the mad money some teams are throwing around. It's hard for a team to sign the FA's they would like to have and still be able to stay the course cap-wise and financially.
I am confident they will get a deal done with Junior Gallette.

Multiple reports Skins have shown interest with Reggie Nelson. Keim is saying no visit...yet.

Reggie Nelson, FS for the Cincinnati Bengals at NFL.com

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports free agent Vernon Davis is visiting the Redskins on Thursday.

Redskins GM Scot McCloughan drafted Davis in San Francisco, but this is not a great fit.

yuck. guy was terrible with the Broncos. Hope we pass

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016

I'm a little worried about not filling the holes we created with not resigning Hatch and Knight. But maybe they'll come back for less after testing the market if we don't sign upgrades/replacements.

I like Reggie Nelson but would much rather address DL,LB and CB with the most resources.

I think Knighton may soon eat his way out of the NFL. As for Hatcher, I think the Skins should try to get younger at his position. The Skins should be able to address both positions with other players either in FA or in the draft.

A FA CB would be nice. There are a couple of decent ones still available.

I don't see any FA OLB who excites me as a fan, other than our own Junior Galette. Inside LB can be addressed in the draft.

Well the entire offense was terrible in Denver (see D. Thomas).

He was specifically brought in to help improve it...he, by all accounts, was a major disappointment.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016

Vernon Davis at the NFL minimum, no guaranteed money, otherwise no thanks

Reggie Nelson at the right price would be a big addition . DL in the draft.... Hatcher and Knighton are not coming back.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016

People are acting as if Vernon Davis would be asked to be the primary tight end.

32 years old is what I see and coming off a less than stellar year.

I personally would rather see us develop younger players who are less expensive & have a higher upside.

Unfortunately not everyone you sign is gonna be 25 and entering their prime, he is a good blocker and as a 2nd string TE for a reasonable 1 or 2 year contract, I will gladly take him.

Jermaine Gresham would be my choice. Vernon Davis...realistically, how much does he have left after 2 terrible seasons?
