He's referring to Seattle and Minnesota.

Well he's not worth big $$ he's getting old. O well good for Seattle, they still won't win a Superbowl

Definately would not pay him a big contract.

Fawk!

There's making good moves and too many moves. Seattle is making too many moves; I can see an Eagles Dream team disaster on that team if one of their big names gets hurt. Plus its San Frans division to lose.

They are building an ego-based team from the foundation of a sound selfless team.

We will roll them next playoff visit.

The best parts of that team were drafted and developed by that team, loud moves usually are not good moves, but we will see.

I see them as New York Jets West with Pete Carroll as an equivalent clown car driver to Rex Ryan.

The difference, however, is Russell Wilson. He's solid and shown he's both more talented and an exponentially better leader than Sanchez.

@Edwerderespn: CB Antoine Winfield was close to deal with Seahawks and still seems his preference but other teams now involved at last minute. Stay tuned

I disagree, I think it's Seattle's division to lose. IMO Wilson will prove he's better than kaepernick next year, I'm not sold on Colin like most are, he has a good arm but I haven't seen him throw as accurate as the other young guns in the NFL.

Agree 100%, I like kaep but I don't think he's the answer for the 9ers.

Shoulda kept Smith.

Washington Examiner - What to look for in a DB - Matt Bowen

Yes, we’re expecting the Redskins to select a defensive back with one of their first two picks later this month. Maybe even both of their first two. Considering the depth at corner and safety, and considering the desire for more depth at both spots, it’s a strong possibility. We’ve told you whom they should look at in previous reports. This time we’ll tell you what they should look for in a player, through the eyes of former Redskins safety Matt Bowen as well as a longtime NFL defensive coach.

No mention of dreamy eyes?

Mods, please move it to news if it's deemed worthy.

Redskins lost in the race for Winfield..

Antoine Winfield, Seattle Seahawks strike contract - NFL.com

[CultBrennan59]

Now that we're not getting Winfield, I can say this; he doesn't stay healthy. He did last year but previously he's been often injured.

[81forHOF]

Am I crazy for thinking we should take a look at bringing C Woodson in (I realize we would have to restructure someone to do so) to raise the level of competition at nearly every position in the secondary? At the very least he would provide quality veteran depth at multiple positions.

I recently heard an interview with him and he seems to have a something to prove because no team has contacted him. He said he wanted to play another 2 years. I know he was hurt last year but he has pretty much proven to be sturdy in the past. I think we could get him pretty cheap with maybe an incentive laden contract. And he is only 8 months older than Winfield.

I know signing aging vets has not exactly worked out for us in the past but I feel this could something different.
