This isn't what I was hoping to see

^^ this is the profile of the person that reported the Skins declined contract talks .. Josina Anderson.

Who is Josina Anderson? Who is Tony Pauline (trent story)?

Am I being the asshole here by questioning the veracity of Josina and Tony when no local reliable beat reporters are corroborating?

Im not believing anything until I see Craig Hoffman, JP or Keim corroborate or endorse it.

LOL .. the world will get you more times than you get it.

Apparently JP did pretty much endorse Josina's tweet about Dunbar. LOL

Sources close to #Redskins CB Quinton Dunbar tell me that he had reached out to the team to discuss a reasonable contract restructure but the club declined the conversation. Dunbar remains resolute in his desire to be released or traded.

I thought same thing when I first saw the report by Anderson but after reading a little bit about her, I think she's legit. And even better now that Finlay confirmed it.

If we can pick up a quality TE in free agency like Hopper or Henry then I would think it would be on the smarter spectrum to not make a splash in the WR market this season. Give Haskins another pass catcher to continue to build his confidence and move us down the field. Spend some money on a quality CB (especially with the Dunbar drama) like Bradberry and/or Byron. Extend our Guards and look to add some depth to our RT spot, I like Viatai from the eagles. He’s Shown promise and give him a chance to overtake Moses starting spot. If at this point there’s enough left to scrap a multi year deal to Tre Boston go for it.

With a similar FA period to what is above I would then like to see us. Take Young (baring an unlikely RG3 deal) and then come back in the 3 and start to fill in some of the remaining gaps WR, CB, LB, TE etc.

Spend the majority of offseason and solidify our defense. Then go into next offseason with an offensive mindset. And work on closing more gaps. There are no glaring holes that 1 or 2 FA pickup will make up Super Bowl ready. Work to our strengths and backfill

Agreed - good post! Getting the best TE in the market I think will help Haskin's much more than spending upwards of $20 mill/yr for the best WR. Harmon is a decent WR #2. Draft for the WR#2 role and let that draft pick battle it out with Harmon in TC. Even if the WR draft pick is a total bust, you still have Harmon.

We could go for the best TE and a top CB for the same money we pay for Cooper at WR ($20 mill/yr). I think the Redskins will spend their money this season in the OL trenches: resigning Trent Williams, Scherff and Flowers. Martin is the backup or might fight it out with Moses for the OT position. Then you still have to sign FS and LB. Use the draft for Chase Young, WR, TE and OT. It's tough to fill all the holes in one season but if Kyle Smith has another excellent draft the team could rebuild faster than expected.

[Irrefutable]

There are too many needs to expect them all to be filled in one season...WR, 2 or 3 TE, 2 OT, 2 G, QB and 2 or 3 LB, 2 CB, 2 S

It will take 2 or 3 years of rebuilding.
