2013 Free Agents

[KI Skins Fan]

It's about time we fans become more realistic about the Redskins and Free Agency this time around. The $18M cap penalty that the Skins are facing this year is going to severely impact their ability to sign FA's, including their own. The Skins will not be able to significantly improve the team through FA this time around.

Some of our favorite players are not going to be re-signed. Lorenzo Alexander and the Skins may never reach a compromise on his compensation. Adam Carriker may be as good as gone. DeAngelo Hall may end up being cut rather than having his contract restructured, etc. The Redskins will probably lose some players that they would very much like to bring back.

We're out of the running for any big name FA's. We just can't afford them. Any time we sign a mid-tier FA, the salary cap may require us to part with another player we would have liked to keep. My assumption here is that any FA signing would address a position of greater need than that of the player who is cut.

At this point, we're going to need to strike gold on one or two mid-tier FA additions at key positions and have a very strong draft class to upgrade the overall talent level of the team.

I agree that he is overpaid and should be cut, will not care one bit if it happens. But he was clearly covering a different receiver in week 3. He came off of that to try to catch AJ Green (who had single coverage on a safety). Week 4, you never, and I mean never, put an elite outside receiver one on one late in a game where you are holding the lead. The ball missed his hand by several inches and it took a diving catch by Vincent Jackson. Darrelle Revis wasnt stopping that one. The only thing that was stopping that one would have been a safety over the top. One that actually understands what over the top means, so that automatically rules out M. Williams and R. Doughty.

If we take the worst play of every game for every player, and judge them only on that. Do we have a single player ever in the history of the NFL that would rate as a good player?

Agreed. Can't stand the dude. He's an overpaid, washed up, hot-headed, loud-mouthed, finger pointing, me-first jerk with no sense of accountability for his routinely piss-poor play. Show him the door. We can get someone younger, harder working, more humble, and most importantly, much less expensive than this headache.

Keep in mind he's also working on an article giving the opposite perspective, the case for D-Hall. Although I'm sure that one will be much shorter and probably a lot harder to write.

Haters, haters. Why cut a guy that leads the team in INT's?

Because he's making way too much $$ and isn't that good to begin with?

I think in order for Hall to stay he needs to take a pay cut period. Otherwise it would be economically sound for the team to get rid of him.

In terms of production, he is ridiculously inconsistent and whether he stays or not, the team should be looking to upgrade. Although, the same can be said of the entire secondary ; and I still stand by my belief that the secondary won't be successful until we find a decent Free Safety.

Since I don't have the boner-inducing hatred for Hall, I don't think the team should get rid of him "just because". If he was as terrible (in all aspects) as some people here cry about, the team would have gotten rid of him a long time ago.

Say all you want about d hall, yes he is overpaid yes he takes chances on ints. IMO the bottom line is this he played well down the stretch, how can we just cut the guy with no replacement?? who would be a starter across from Wilson? Crawford? don't mind cutting him but the player to take is place is a huge ?

And bonehead personal fouls.

[SirLK26]

Whatever. Yes, he needs to take a pay cut, not just a restructuring, but the more our offense has the ball the better.

That's what free agency and the draft is for.

[Bubba305-ST21-]

nobody on our roster is a better replacement than Hall. he is better than anyone other than Wilson. that being said he def needs to take a paycut but I don't trust anyone else on our team to start and do not trust a rookie cb to start if we even use our 2nd considering we need a safety bad. I say make him take a pay cut and keep him! he played good down the stretch and better then anything else we got
