Junior Seau a Redskin??

dblanch66 · 06-09-2006, 01:15 PM

Let's not forget about McCune. He is in his 2nd year and could emerge. The only positive about signing Seau is his leadership qualities. He could be a very energizing influence in the locker room. But maybe not worth the price tag.

Speaking of aging LBer's, let's pause for a moment and reflect upon the stellar career of Monte Coleman.... okay! Now about "Say-ow": We don't require his services. having said that I'm not going to be upset if we sign him. We've done worse, way worse.

I'd rather see the money spent for OL help.

Thats exactly what I was thinking prior to reading your response. Can we get some freaken depth at O line. Has anyone seem any noteable cuts for some veteran OL help.

I think the only thing we need to be looking at with our remaining allowance would be someone to shure up this line in case of an injury. We saw what happened last year when one of our starters went down. The running game was affected dramatically and at times we seemed to be one-dementional.

Lets see what becomes available here.

At least he would give Salva'a some one to click with.

On a serious note, I really hope this isn't true because it just seems like the type of signing we would have made six or seven years ago. I hear the name "Deion" whispering in the wind when I read that we are possibly in talks with an old veteran who won't have any long term impact.

Deion, Bruce, Carrier et al were at the end of their careers but we paid em big. Just by the timing of this rumor its unlikely seau will get much if anything beyoned the minimum.
btw, Deion actually played above avg. here just not up to his past. If Seau can play that well, start an entire 16 game season, for vet. min. $, he would be a bargain. I don't think he's every down material at all, but he may be tough against the run. If GW thinks we need the depth, sign him cheap.

Its totaly different than the signings we did 6 or so years ago. Back then we would bring in these Vets and give them hugh 3 to 5 year contracts. Thats what we need to avoid doing again. If Gibbs and Company think they could bring him in for 1 yr small contract and they could get a value from him than I trust what they think. It would kind of be what we did with Ray Brown last year he was a mentor and when we need him he did his job well for us.

It took me like a minute. You magnificent bastard.

TheMalcolmConnection · 06-09-2006, 01:13 PM

Right, because wasn't Taylor starting by the 3rd or 4th game?

Hog1 · 06-09-2006, 01:28 PM

Sign him, Hopefully he won't be the next Bruce Smith. he can school young Rocky!

That Guy · 06-09-2006, 01:32 PM

it'd be a good move. right now we have no one that's gauranteed to be all that great, though either clemons and mcintosh can HOPEFULLY get it done.

as a reserve he could be like ray brown for our LB corp.

Carnage · 06-09-2006, 02:18 PM

couldn't hurt mcintoshes develpoment. I have NEVER heard an ill word about Jr.

Monkeydad · 06-09-2006, 04:29 PM

I'd be fine with the signing. He's been a great player, he has a ton of experience that will help with the development of our young players, he's unselfish, a team player like Gibbs wants and he'd have a chance to close out his career with a Super Bowl win with the Skins.

As long as he's not too expensive, I don't see any reason NOT to sign him.

Quality depth is never a bad thing.

BigSKINBauer · 06-09-2006, 06:24 PM

Is he a free agent? If he would go for vet minimum, it makes me wonder why the dolphins wouldn't pick him up themselves if he was even worth that...
