According to Gil Brandt, Robinson rejected a 30mil (21 guaranteed) contract from the Texans.

Re: Would Dunta Robinson & Darren Sproles be 'business as usual'?

So would you all be surprised if we signed Dunta, Dansby, and somehow got Peppers?

Would this clear the way for a guy like Carter to be expendable? Is Carter a trade option? Also I don't know how I would feel if we had to small cornerbacks as #1 and #2.

Would the Redskins be looked at as this is DS's moves or the new regime?

Signing Peppers and Dansby and trading AC is my ideal world dream (along with Cody dropping to us in the second round). Peppers wants to play OLB in a 3-4. Could you imagine a better LB corp than Dansby, Rak, Fletcher and Peppers? AH and Jarmon on the ends and Cody plugging the middle? Landry back at SS with Horton and Smoot playing FS. Coupled with Haslett's promise to be more aggressive and our defense might outscore our offense.

Horton at FS?

rypper11-

The defense outscoring the offense of the last few years wouldn't be that hard!

That linebacking core sounds like as probowl roster lbs.... If haslett couldn't get a performance out of that front seven he needs to stop coaching football or go back to highschool. HA!

The problem I see with our D though is in the back end. We need to shore up the FS spot, The SS spot is secure as we are 3 deep, and I don't really know what we have at CB and how the current players will respond to our new defensive scheme. I like hall and Rodgers but after that we are so light.

I think in this scenario Horton or Smoot would be good at FS. Both played there some last year and with the amount of pressure the front 7 would generate a serviceable FS could post 7 ints.

I have a feeling after March 5th the talent pool in FA will go up as teams look to get rid of big money contracts. The players may not be Probowlers but I believe there will be some talent there. Hopefully a few more than servicable Olinemen will be out there.

Re: Would Dunta Robinson & Darren Sproles be 'business as usual'?

I thought there were some rules to controll teams from buying up all the players in a uncapped market. Also if you sign all those guys their first year salary would have to be huge because it would be hell when the cap comes back. I also got the feeling Peppers want AH money don't know if we could afford that

im just glad this season is uncapped. could you imagine if we had to account for haynesworth's 22 mil plus this year and CP's 12 mil plus in a capped 2010?

i thought this is why we gave AH so much money because it was almost certain that it would be an uncapped year and there would be no penalty so to speak.

Re: Would Dunta Robinson & Darren Sproles be 'business as usual'?

Robinson should be considered simply because we don't really have a high-tier corner. Hall could be a shutdown corner, but his personal ideal of playing is to be an interception machine. Rogers is barely solid, but his bad hands will cost the teams potential wins in close games.

Sproles is going to be overpaid no matter what, so it's better to stick with Alridge or look to the draft for a return specialist.

Well according to Schefter the Chargers are not even putting a tender on Sproles. I would certainly like the Skins to at least talk with the agent.

The Chargers apparently want to let Sproles go out there and find out what he's really worth and then they'll likely look to keep him long term. Unless some other team blows him away with an offer

It's what I would do in the same situation, but do you think there's a chance that Sproles takes a very similar offer from a different team out of spite?
