Yea. Here is a link. 2009 NFL Free Agents

Matt Birk, UFA, Minnesota Vikings

T.J. Houshmandzadeh, UFA, Cincinnati Bengals

Nnamdi Asomugha, UFA, Oakland Raiders

Albert Haynesworth, UFA, Tennessee Titans

Now. we probably won't get Asomugha, that be a stretch, but these other 3 we can get, now Birk, wont come with a large contract, a respectable on yeah, but way better than what we got, T.J. is a good guy, no problems and is probably the best WR on his team now ( I take Chad for a 3rd or 4th rounder) and do even got say why we need Haynesworth, but I be willing to trade players away to make money room for these guys, on my trading list if I was owner:

Moss
Washington
Springs
Smoot
R.Thomas
ARE

It would free up big money to sign these guys we draft a nice OLB draft some nice OL and DL. I would change our D to a 3-4, just cause it so hard to know who is coming.

with T J the #1 then Thomas and kelly can battle for #2 with Cooley, and Portis our ol is Samuels, Kendall, Birk, Jansen, Heyer,

our Defense:

Carter, Haynesworth, Taylor

McIntosh, Fletcher, Blades, Rookie OLB, and you know the DB's already

Hall, Rogers, Landry, Horton.

but this is what I would do, I am just feeling the holes where we are weak, I dont think we will go after anyone, except Haynesworth.

We can't trade away Moss and EL

1. Re sign Hall. He will be the leader of the secondary. I would sign Hall (for the right price) before I sign Rogers
2. Release M. Washington: I think we all know why
3. Sign at least two big name free agents (preferreably on each line). Synder has surprisingly gotten away from the big splash the last few offeasons.
4. Draft an OLB in the first round. (Rey Malauga USC)
5. I agree with you D-Bag359 we need to look for a quality back in the 3rd round to get Portis and Betts some air.

I would:

1. Bring humility to my position

2. Hire a President to run all football operations

3. Get out of his way

4. Hold him accountable for the long term health of the team, and replace him if necessary if there is a continual and consistent stretch of sub-par football.

I completely disagree with the Rogers/Hall comment. Hall has hands and that's awesome. We could use it, but he's not as good (at least right now) as a healthy springs or rogers. Rogers has been playing some outstanding football this year and has been much of the reason our D has been as good as they have been. With a none existant pass rush this guy has manned up week after week with the league's elite recievers, often with little to no help, and consistently shut them down. He's a gem.

Fire Cerrato before the next draft. Seriously.

He MOD's can we get a poll to see if the fans feel Vinny should go or not?

I am with youm, bring Hall back he has been a nice addition esp late in the season.
Time to let Marcus go. I love the guy but his injuries are hurting this team.
Get an OLB to infuse some youth into the line. We are aging and aging fast!

[EternalEnigma21]

Well as far as players go (and I haven't even glanced at free agent possibilities yet) obviously I'd shore up both lines.

Honestly, that's almost all I would do. Bring in 2 good veteran O linemen and really sit down with buges and find out if he wants to be here. If he doesn't I'm not sure where you go for positional coaches next year, given the scheme we're running.

I'd also drop stan hixon, and look at bringing in someone off the pats staff. They get production out of no name receivers and have been for years. Re-sign hall (unless we can trade portis and a #2 pick for that CB from oakland whose name I can't spell or pronounce), make fred davis a #2 TE, and draft running back in an early round regardless of who we have here. (a move we should have made last year)

My draft would be geared toward o line, running back, D-line, and linebacker. I'd trade picks up or down to get impact players at those positions.

I'd stick with Cambell in camp as a starter, but I would keep an eye on brennan and I would make it a point to give him time with the first team offense to see how he fares.

[CRedskinsRule]

I would:
- be checking with my scouting department, make sure they had a good read on the various line players available.

- listen to VC/JZ about the player moves that are available

- meet with JZ after we are done this season's games (however far we go) and review his goals and coaching personnel. Give him the authority/responsibility to fire-hire his staff to fit his methods.

- authorize the spending needed to bring in competitive talent both on field and coaching

- sit in my owner's box and Scream "YEAH!!!" when we beat our opponents (oh and watch all the cheerleader practices! )

I would look for a way to trade Portis for picks (like Dallas did with Walker). I know he's dinged up but he's having an MVP season and his value wont get higher. Hopefully they could draft some linemen and begin the process of building this team from the inside out.

I see the Portis situation like Lavar where they could have traded him and got something in return but instead the skins hang on too long, nagging injuries add up, he cant play, Skins get nothing.

Yeah I can see that. I love clinton but it just may not be a fit here anymore. If we could get a decent value I'd trade him. RBs have been pretty thick lately.

The thing is the owner spends enough $ to ensure the Skins never have a 1-15 season so they will never get a #1 pick so they have to go for numbers of picks instead. Trading CP would get them that volume of picks. The skins are stuck in that region where they will never be terrible and get high picks and they will never be championship caliber because the team is just not built like a championship needs to be.
