But we all know the Skins are going to get more than 2 guys in FA so it doesn't matter what I tell them to do.

Doesn't it feel great to now know who is going to be our QB day one.

I hope not Finnegan, he's an idiot, rather have Terrell Thomas.

Or Carr from the chiefs

I second this. Carr and Finnegan are going to get a ton of money thrown their way.

Also, maybe bring Reggie Nelson as safety? Although I don't know if he's a SS or FS.

I am not going to say that Finnegan is an idiot, But I agree that Thomas would be a good pick up.

My list would be.....

1. Nicks- a good guard can help cover the (right) tackle spot
2. Thomas- we need a good cover corner- Meangelo is liability plays the ball instead of coverage.
3. Garcon- we need an exposive WR that can catch the ball! ( I think Hankerson will show a big improvement this year, he started to catch on last prior to the injury)
4. Safety- ??? LL I still think should move down to inside the box to LB ( we all know he needs to be more disciplined, if re-signed)??
5. Linebacker ??? not sure on the last two (hope Fletcher comes back, getting slower but buys us time and is a good leader)


Your thoughts?

Terrell Thomas has a knee injury so I'm a little skeptical, but yes, he is a great CB when healthy.

Finnegan, like him or hate him, is a great CB, he's just not liked because he picks fights with other teams WR's. He is a pro bowler for a reason. Carr though is my first choice, but I'm worried that the Cowgirls are getting him and LaRon.

Nelson is a FS.

Eddie Royal
Paul Soliai
Vincent Jackson/Pierre Garcon
Courtland Finnegan/Brandon Carr
Ryan Harris

Perfect FA for me.

I might be in the minority, but love the trade, hate the price!

I think we can all agree that we needed a franchise QB for a long time, with that said, I think the price was outrageous. It seems we play just good enough to put out of contention for the QB we have all wanted for a very long time. I think RG3 will be a good fit in Shanny's O. I hope it works out for us, just cost alot. Would I do it??? Dont know... I hope the guys in chrage Allen, Shanny, and Snyder have a great understanding of this kid and what he can do. They get paid alot more than I do because they know more about the game than I do.

If it works out, I think it will be worth it, as the media guys say, it will be worth it if he can perform at a high level.... Only time will tell. I hoped Campbell was going to work out..... What is the boards thoughts on this trade?

I think you'd be in the majority of reasonable fans with this statement. And welcome to the board.

Welcome jayroc. Many people have expressed a similar sentiment including yours truly.

I'm with the Terrelle Thomas fans. Solid corner without all the drama.

[Ruhskins]

I'd like to see the Redskins see if they can get anything in way of a trade from Moss and Hall (if we get Thomas). Despite many flaws, Hall had a notable season in 2010 and I am sure Moss can help a WR-starved team that may not have much cap room.

Despite this, I keep reading that the Skins are looking for depth in the secondary and not necessarily a starting corner. So who knows. It seems that the first order of business will be a #1 WR for RG3 to throw to. Hopefully a close second will be a replacement for Landry.

Can't see them getting any thing in trade for Hall or Moss. I think the depth they would provide we would be better off if we keep them.

I agree the WR is an issue we need, it seems they would catch the ball and fall down, what happened to YAC? Moss is the best we have at that. I still hope we can re-sign LL (he just needs to stay healthy).

Do you think if we gain Thomas we should trade Hall and Moss? I still think Moss has some left in the tank. Hall??? He drives me nuts, one game he plays great then its like it gets in head and has a brain fart.... IDK.... Would love some consistency on this team, as I am sure we can agree on that.
