Just a word of caution on Holland that you should be aware of.

1. He is the ONLY Unrestricted Free Agent Dallas has and they dont want to resign him.

2. He was acquired in a trade with Denver in 2008 for a 5th round pick. Denver was glad to be rid of him as he had a bevy of fines from the team for consistently showing up to camp overweight and out of shape.

3. Since arriving in Dallas he has not had any real measurable playing time, he is WAAAAY down the depth chart behind guys like Free, Proctor and McQuistan. Free and Proctor are very good, but if anyone is BELOW McQuistan on the depth chart, that person should consider a career change.

Just wanted you guys to be aware of what we as fans have had to endure since acquiring Holland.

Have you every met Stephon Heyer or Will Montgomery? If the guy is trash I'm sure Shanny will show him the door. If he can beat either one of those two guys, that's a step up. Thanks for getting back. My homeboy was talking about him this morning. From the schimmy I get, he was on the bench last year but did good the year before that.

Yeah, that was the year that Dallas was 21st in rushing and missed the playoffs. So if that is what is defined as "good", well, okay.

He played for Shanahan so if we pick him up then I am sure he will fit.

hadn't heard anything about that until your post

i think hicks was a great signing for his versatility alone. he may not even start if Rinehart continues to impresses Shanahan. If both of them play equally well, the edge goes to rinehart, as it would minimize the line shufling required if another player goes down. I like the idea of hicks being our #1 backup at all the guard and tackle positions. IMO his best shot to start is RT unless we fill that need elsewhere in the offseason. We don't have a starting caliber LT on the team at this point. Clifton was the only "quality" one out there and i'm using that term loosely. If the position isnt somehow addressed before (or during) the draft, i'm very scared for whoever is our QB in 2010.

credskins, thats my point. the skins FO actually knows these players and arent signing them. as a fan, im not going to get mad and act like i know more than them b/c i got espn insider or read profootballtalk.

Economics 101 and Sport Psychology 101 are apparently not Snyder's and lot of Redskins' fans strong point.

It also shows people do not desire to make optimal decisions when given huge load of income.

I don't how valid this rumor is so take it with a grain of salt, but we could be bringing in Kevin Mawae tomorrow

Should be at Redskins Park this afternoon, if he's not there already. I'd be surprised if he signed today

I wouldn't mind this move at all. Even at his age. It seems interior lineman, particularly centers, tend to play longer late into their careers.

I hope so and I would love a one year rental. It is sad to say but he would be head and shoulders above anyone on our line and he has intangibles that are hard to quantify.

Would you trade Rogers and our 2nd rounder for Sproles and a 3rd? Keep in mind it would be the last pick in the 3rd round

(And keep in mind I'm just the rumor mongering messenger here)

I would definitely do it. Either Tryon or Barnes would play opposite D.Hall, we dump Rogers, who doesn't want to be here, and we bring in an instant home rome threat in Sproles.
