Redskins Sign DB Cedric Griffin

Swarley · 03-16-2012, 03:58 PM

I'm fine with bringing in a cheap player that can play both CB and Safety. No harm in this signing unless you stop looking to improve.

We got Terry Allen from Vikes after two ACL's and he came here and rushed for 1,300 yds and 10 Td's. Stranger things have happened.

We need 6-foot, 190-pound Aaron Ross and throw in Eric Winston.

Did we sign him? Obviously, I'm too lazy to look for myself.

No...

I just want us to.

2.5 million is a lot to pay for this guy; we need the help, but I can't help thinking there are unsigned, undrafted players out there with a lot of upside who have two fully functional knees and who wouldn't command $2.5 million.

As long as we get the other Griffin too, I'm OK with this... he had a pretty decent year last year, despite recovering from the ACLs. I don't think this rules out of the Ross market either, even though I think he (Griffin) is a better CB.

GTripp0012 · 03-16-2012, 06:49 PM

The Montgomery restructure and Griffin deal create a net cap difference of virtually zero. If you want the math, it's:

cap = 6.5 million - 2.5 mil (player salary) + 390k (r51) + 2.06 (Monty restructure) = 6.45 million

That 6.5 was a rough estimate, but the work shows how today the Redskins didn't change their cap position in 2012 (and only slightly in 2013).

Griffin sure looked like crap in that youtube video on the free agent thread. No way is this guy a potential started of anything....we need a legit #3 corner and #2 safety.
But I am way more concerned with Fletcher and oline....we can arguably support the oline with mid round picks, but we are likely running out of cash for free agents

Time to dump Hall to make more room.

He was coming off an injury, if he doesn't get better they didn't give up anything and can move on without him. I think he's he decent pickup.

Swarley · 03-17-2012, 12:03 AM

I'm more interested if they plan on using him as a safety. If that's the case and he stays healthy this could end up paying off.

Even safties that are moved to CB don't look as bad as he did in that video.

yeah im on board if the plan is to bring him in to challange Gomes at SS. I like Merrieweather at FS and then bringing in a mid round selection in the draft at FS if that is the plan. Griffin at CB is just a horrible idea.
