2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread

[Schneed10]

I know things are moving fast and furious. But unless your name is SmootSmack - who is getting his info straight from his connections, I don't see any excuse for not providing a link to the source of your information.

Or if you heard it on the airways, say what show and station you heard it on. Don't throw unsubstantiated crap out there, at least link to the twitter feed so the reader can decide for themselves how credible the information is.

The Mods should not have to chase people on this, we should all know the rules by now.

Harumph.

How do you know that someone posting the rumors also works for a major sport outlet like SmootSmack does, and gets even more accurate better information than him?

Becasue we have been on this site for many years and I have yet to see anyone predict as well as him.

B/c no one else has made the claim. If someone else here has legitimate insider information, great - let us know who your source is & how you know this is reliable info. Otherwise, you're just blowing smoke and cluttering the thread. Of course, if you have such insider info, people would probably give such claims more credence if they had been made and demonstrated prior to the a day in which rumour, innuendo and false leads are bound to be rampant (you know, like Smootsmack did).

Double Harumph!!

SS posts links when possible. If something is just a rumor, he says it is just a rumor. In so doing he inspires trust.

Agreed.

Let's stick to the reliable sources. There's enough credible rumors floating around without having to wade through the BS of Joe Schmoe on Twitter making shit up.

So something on Twitter isn't a reliable source or does it depend on who's tweeting? Just trying to clarify.

Depends on the source.

Schefter, Mort, local DC media, etc. = good

Horny4Zorny = probably not so good

The Horny4Zorny tweet was a joke. He even posted it on Extremeskins. and afterwards put ...........LOL/JK


Not even sure why SB posted it as it were legitimate. There are some credible guys out there.

I can point you to three insiders that know the 411 when it comes to the Skins. Everything they've ever said has matched up exactly to what Smoot has. I've been reading (on Extremeskins) these guys posts for many years now and they drop knowledge when they can. One of them runs Extremeskins (which is owned by the Redskins) and has made many contacts during his time there. They aren't going to tell you who they are or what they do.

In fact, here is another nugget from one of them.

Haha auto correct.. last tweet. Yanda could get 7.5-8 per year from skins. Sorry for the Mis- tweet

If I were a Insider, no way in hell I would tell you who I was or what I did. Not sure if you remember, but a cat by the name of Andyman used to post on Extremeskins. It ended up being Karl Swanson, but people would hound him about who he was and what he did. Sometimes you just take the information and be happy. You'll know what's credible and what's not. I will say this. Don't expect the information to always come true because of how things go in the NFL. It's constantly changing. The deal made right now could be gone in 15 minutes. So information given at a particular time could very well be accurate, but 100% false the next day. It's how it rolls.

Logan Mankins stays home.

Just heard Orakpo...I think he's ready to step up to be the defensive leader. This guy sounds seriously amped.

Looks like Vincent Jackson stays home too.

I dont see us picking up two hot shot WR's unless we had a hot shot QB to throw to them.
