re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
He is the 4th redskin from the 2001 Miami Hurricane team. Moss, Portis, Taylor (RIP), and now Buchananan. where is SkinsCanesfan when you need him? I met him a few years ago and have to say he is a real good guy and will provide a positive influence on the lockeroom.

re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
Didn't Allen draft this guy when he was at Oakland? He sure missed on this pick cause PB really never panned out as a corner. Is this really an upgrade over Smoot? Probably not. I'd like to see Tryon and Barnes push the starters.

Agreed that Barnes and Tryon need to play like future starters in 2010, regardless of Buchanon's role.

He had 11 INTs and 4 TDs in the 3 years he was in Oakland.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
A stopgap move. I like the idea of perhaps trying him out at FS. The team has many capable SS. Is there any interest trading for Doughty, Horton, or Landry? I don't think drafting a FS is an option.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
I still think Tryon and Barnes can contribute. Westbrook's value hinged on special teams only.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
Gives us more speed and a guy who can cover in the slot.
Good move for us. |

I'll be the first to say it, Camp Fodder.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
And I'll be the first to second this notion. This is a very ho-hum signing IMO.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
5 teams in 7 years. Reminiscent of the Mike Rumph signing...

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
Just looking at his deal I'd say he's more than camp fodder. 1 year $1.5M with incentives of $750k. He's no superstar but he's not just a camp body either.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
My guess is that he will be starting by week 3 if not sooner. Nice pick-up. It's nice to see a front office that makes some sensible moves and sign them for cheap!
