I must say that if you truly were a proponent of the "Suck for Luck" idea, you wouldn't have the FA wishlist that you have on your sig.

With the upcoming salary floor, I think we can sign some talent to benefit for the future while still somehow obtaining Luck. Signing free agents and being a bad team aren't mutally exclusive, especially when all teams are forced to pay a minimum amount, other teams competing for Luck will also be signing free agents.

Report: Redskins will target Jenkins brothers, Holmes in free agency | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

First I'd really heard Holmes' name mentioned for us. Cullen and Kris have been on our radar for several years actually. And I see Yanda as a longshot personally. Ravens will do anything they can to keep him.

Help on the lines is priority #1 in FA

I'd like to see the Skins FO accept that they are in the process of building a team and, accordingly, draw a line in the sand in terms of the age, injury risk, and knucklehead risk that is acceptable in the players they pursue in Free Agency.

To be more specific about the age limit, I would like them to stay away from players who will be older than 28 at the start of the season.

Based on the above and his ability, I think that Yanda, who turns 27 on 9/15, would be perfect.

Holmes is a very good player who is only 27 but he fails the knucklehead test. The risk of his being suspended for one year due to a second substance abuse policy violation is worrisome to me. Still, he is a very good player and he's only 27. I'm torn on this one.

Cullen Jenkins, at age 30, is a little older than I'd prefer but I think he's a good fit for our defense at RDE. I think I might make an exception to the age limit and go after him.

Kris Jenkins is a very good football player who plays a position of great need for the Redskins. Unfortunately, he fails both the age and injury tests for me, so I hope they pass on him.

I would definitely re-sign Jammal Brown and Rex Grossman.

I think we need an ILB, so I'd like to see the Skins go after Kevin Burnett (age 28).

I wonder what happened to make this news public? Redskins FO have been tight-lipped about what they are doing and plan to do.. On other hand, the list seems pretty good, I have no complains except for Kris Jenkins. Kris have history of injuries, but perhaps playing beside with his brother will motivate Kris to play hard and throughout injuries if it comes up.. I really hope we will be able to resign Brown and Moss - the veterans are essential to our offense.

And no where in this article is there a mention of us getting a CB. We have to have one, thats more important than signing beat up kris jenkins or santonio holmes.

NFL.com news: Redskins prepared to make run on big free agents after lockout

In this article, JLC said that Redskins plans to pursue to resign Philip Buchanon.. I think it's starting to look obvious that Redskins like Kevin Barnes as a replacement .

eehh...alright, but I think we should definitely make Nnamdi, JJ, and Ike Taylor offers and see if any of them will accept. If not then I guess I'm fine with Barnes starting at CB.

I want Barnes to have a chance to start, after sitting for 2 years.. I like Joseph out of those three.. Well, of course I would love to have Nnamdi but I expect him to be well out of our budget range, which leaves to Joseph and Taylor. Arizona traded Taylor back to Steelers for a reason and then Steelers apparently won't resign him for a reason. I do not want to find out what the reason is.
