Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013

Exactly Skinzman.

These RTs all got little to no gaurenteed money (TP and JT for sure) and most likely signed vet min deals. They will probably be under the rule of 51 once the roster fills out.

Fine with T.P. coming back to stride to improve, looking more and more like we need to bring Hall back.. and i'd be fine with that as well...

Still hoping Compton can beat out TP, we need to improve at Right Tackle.

If Compton can't beat out the human turnstile, then we might have a lil bit of an issue.

We need help at safety. Madieu was awful last year. I can't imagine what it was like for our DB's to put any trust in him. I think if Safety is solidified our DB play will increase tremendously.

polumbus held it down, i'm sure he came dirt cheap. i'm happy w this signing

The FO knows best, we have no $$$ so it is what it is, I would have liked to see Ryan Harris at RT for competition.

[GTripp0012]

Pashos is on a one year minimum vet exemption, which means he has practically no effect on the books whatsoever.

If having either Trueblood and Polumbus on the roster indicates a need to upgrade the position, having both is just is kind of silly. I'll give the Redskins the benefit of the doubt here and suggest that Trueblood simply took a lowball offer before the Redskins legitimately knew whether Polumbus would be back.

The roster issue is that we currently have just one guy on the entire roster who can play left tackle. Hurt is probably the backup there. One left tackle to five right tackles isn't a great ratio.

I agree with you on this. It seems to me as if they are planning to draft one or go with UFA players. Or maybe they will try Compton at LT in camp?

In game, i would guess Hurt too. However, I would think if Williams were out for any amount of time, Tyler would move to the left side and (if they make the team), one of the new guys would fill in at RT.

It is March 18th. Once the draft is over, we sign a few undrafted FA's, play a few preseason games we will see where we really are.
I would not be terribly shocked if along the way we pick up another OT or two and Pashos & Trueblood get cut by the start of season. They are rolling the dice with these two, I do not think they are expecting too much out of either. I m not worried about OT, I would be fine with Compton and Polubus at RT for one more year.
CB and Safety positions on the other hand is in serious need of some more talent. Draft will be leaning heavy with Db's if there are good ones there when we pick. But ShanAllen has shown in the past (2011 not drafting Locker) they will not get impatient and reach for need. They rather go with BPA. Smart.

Don't even go there, seriously. You take Trent out of the deck and this house of cards tumbles.

Redskins meet with agent for Fred Davis, Rex Grossman

Hopefully this meeting with Davis's agent will come out good, and I think it's interesting that we are trying to bring Grossman back. Seems like Shanny likes what Grossman is doing with Griffin.

Rich Tandler talked about Grossman a while back. He says that Shanahan normally likes to go with two quarterbacks, but with Griffin being questionable for the first few weeks of the season, the team needed a third QB. They're going with Grossman because they need a QB who already knows the playbook and the system because he'll probably only be here a year anyway.
