Redskins Free Agency 2016

[metalskins]

Have I mentioned how much I am loving this year's free agency? Taking care of our own and adding quality, versatile players like Bruton.

[Ruhskins]

Getting a bit ahead, but I'm sure this has a lot to do with the upcoming negotiations with Jordan Reed:

John Keim ‏@john_keim 46m46 minutes ago
reported last week that Jordan Reed had changed agents. Now confirming he's hired Joel Segal, as @MikeJonesWaPo, @MasterTes reported earlier

Good news on Gallete.

But on another note...LeRibeus is back? Seriously???
he was thrown around like a rag doll last year.

Center was the weakest link on Offense last year....I hope they keep looking to improve this position in the draft.

[SFREDSKIN]

What's Ziggy Hoods role on this D? DE or NT?

[Schneed10]

I doubt LeRib was given anything more than the minimum. He'll be on the roster bubble.

Love that Gallette is coming back.

Can't see Murphy as a 34 DE, having deja vu w/ this discussion, IF he were to move seems closer to an ILB then a 34 DE

Don't agree that Murphy even has to move to get Junior on the field tho
I can't recall whether or June is actually good against the run or not, but ultimately I don't really care because he's here to rush the passer.
In that regard Murphy can still play run downs/rotate w/ Preston or whatever but on pass rush down which ~65-70% of the time:

June-Preston-Reyes-Kerrigan

on base downs:

Preston/Murph-Ricky-Bake-Paea-Kerrigan/Preston

Surprised at the money that Bruton received,

Like his skillset/measurable (4.46 @ combine) and like his special teams background
Typically speaking you expect a special teams standout to be a tough guy and solid tackler

with that being said, I wouldn't just pencil him in as a starter just yet
Duke is the most experienced and proven S on the roster his problem with us this far has been injury
Really like the idea of giving Hall a real chance at FS, I think he could make the transition very well
Jarrett seems like a natural

Bruton is going to have to earn his way onto the field and I'm sure he'll be given every chance to win the job because of the signin and money

But like w/ Jeron Johnson last year, I don't think he'll be handed the job

A positive 2nd order effect of Bruton winning a S spot is the ability to keep Hall at CB and help in the lower secondary opposite Breeland IF Cully is still recovering/ineffective OR Hall can join Jarrett and specialize as a NB/slot safety

actually Bruton is much more experienced player, Duke has only played 21 games in four years. David Bruton, SS for the Denver Broncos at NFL.com

Duke Ihenacho, SS for the Washington Redskins at NFL.com

That's why I said Duke is the more experienced and proven Safety not player but Safety.

Duke was a starting S, something Bruton has never been.
Bruton was in Denver before Duke but Duke surpassed him on the depth chart and started ahead of him.
Despite missing the better part of the past 2 seasons due to injury Duke has 15 starts in 4 years compared to Brutons 8 starts sprinkled over 7 years.

DE Alan branch signed a 1 year deal with embarressment known as the Miami Dolphins. He was our second visit.

Like to see us get a little serious with Reggie Nelson FS.

[CRedskinsRule]

Quick question on Bruton did he and ihenacho play together on the broncos? Wondering if Nacho talked Bruton into coming here.

I wouldn't mind drafting another OLB even with Gallette back. I'd be happy with a guy like Floyd from Georgia. Any player on the defensive side would be alright by me. Or Laquon Treadwell if he is available.

How about going after Karlos Dansby now that he's available? Might be a little rich for our blood and a bit older than a normal Scott signing. He is solid though.

he's 33 and he's looking for a lot more than vet minimum. someone will grab him, and he probably does have 2 years left, but i doubt we're the destination. never say never i guess, but it's pretty doubtful.


as for duke's preseason reports... everyone is always great in the preseason (if they aren't abjectly terrible), cause they aren't actually tackling or playing real football. it's like, puff piece central. there are definitely noteworthy things/items that happen, but there's soo much happy noise that i wouldn't rely on those reports too heavily.

Yeah its not likely, but I wouldn't complain if it was a reasonable deal. I'd offer more than the minimum but less than he was making. We need another MLB, but more likely will be through a mid round draft pick. That's more our style (now).
