Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013

[redskins5044]

It feels good not to be spending big in FA anymore, teams are built through the draft and filling holes in FA with value players at a low cost.

I completely agree. Notice how a lot of the premier teams, if not all the premier teams are not making much noise right now.

Excellent point. Boring free agency means solid depth and growth from within and a reliance on the draft. Model for success in the NFL...although, the irrational fan in me loves those free agency press conferences announcing new players...guess that's why I'm a fan and not a football exec

Boring free agency also means we got bent over with a bogus cap penalty. Otherwise we would be more active. Not Vinny/Danny active, just more active.

I like the moves that we have made thus far though with taking care of our own and restructuring some contracts.

My bet is we sign a DB, maybe an O-lineman, but not much else...

Great point about the cap crap. Am just trying to be positive and not even mention it. The cap thing makes me wonder not what free agent splash we could have made, rather, what needs could we have filled with a solid pickup, of which we can't even afford because of the imaginary infraction we supposedly committed.

and just as importantly, working to keep our own wherever possible.

I like it. The Doughty of the D-line. Speaking of which...

I was telling my brother last year we needed to cut Doughty and he said I was crazy, because he is the most durable man alive. He said at some point every year Doughty is the last saftey standing and will end up starting. I think Golston is sort of the same thing on the Dline, so I am agreeing with you.

I didn't even realize he was free agent??

We have solid depth along the front line. Adam Carriker returning and Jenkins will hopefully be improved after his second year off that injury.

Interesting. I don't see that being a possibility as I don't believe Reggie wants to return to his role with the saints. I also don't want a reason to slow down Morris to much. But who knows.

Seems as though there should be better ways to spend the little money we have.
