Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

I am just playing devils advocate Alvin. They had money invested there because they were able to with so many of their key players coming in relatively cheap because they drafted well.

Like I said earlier in the thread, I wish we would have spent some money at S. If we make a big play for him so be it, but I think we needed on D or up front.

Maybe its an early April fools day.

The Ravens won with offense as well, J Jones , T Smith and A Boldin is a solid to great core that wasn't cheap.

Jones and Smith were dirt cheap. Boldin was the only high-priced WR on the roster.. We already have Garçon.

I was killed from my earlier post that Aldrick Robinson has some of the same attributes as DeSean Jackson. They both are deep threat WR's and can run after the catch. I'm not saying Robinson is as talented as DeSean but he is much cheaper and doesn't come with the baggage. I'm torn on this because the last time the Eagles gave away their star player it was McNasty. We got hosed on that deal. The Eagles not only gave away their best WR but they have a cap hit this year for 6.5 million for releasing D-Jax. They must really wanted to get rid of him. We have seen DeSean be a distraction for the Eagles over the years , but also seen him make big time plays. If the price is right sometimes you have to roll the dice and hope he grows up and becomes a real pro. Its funny if we sign him we get blasted by the Haters. Yes we have made some dumb free agent signings but DeSean is 27yrs old with tons of talent so how can you not take the risk if you need a another WR to go along with Garcon. This gives RGIII another big time playmaker and who says if we draft a WR he will be productive. I read that D.Hall wants him here so lets make it happen for the right price. HTTR

Number one, yes, he is a great receiver. He would be a great threat, and RG3 knows how to throw the deep ball. EVERYTHING would open up for the rest of our offense. No question.

Number two, though, is we should get him only if Gruden thinks he can control him, and make him a long time contributor. Not because DHall or anyone else wants him here.

The key here is Robinson actually has to make the catch. His hands are a question mark, though admittedly they got a little better towards the end of the season... and he wasn't really known for running any routes except the fly. I'd like to see what he can do on a real route and if he can make guys miss.

dhall and RG3 .. as far as I read.... both want him here and have publicly made it known...

If it is for close to minimum (as most reports seem to indicate is what he was looking at), I think this is a solid signing.

I'm happily surprised. A professional Secondary.

Well said Rave. Not to mention Jackson is a special teams threat as well.

[chewman]

He is going to really help with the leadership in the locker room as well.
