2009 Free Agents

[The Goat]

SmootSmack (and whoever else might have an inside read on the FO): are we gonna sign Hall or not? I'm so frustrated at this point. If current cap was an issue why didn't we cut Springs and sign Hall (his naturally replacement) simultaneously?

I wonder if Redskin One is airborne yet? Anyone else getting that excited/anxious feeling? Ahh yes, the eve of Free Agency, aka offseason Christmas for Redskins fans. It must have been like pulling teeth for Danny not to make any moves last year.

JASON BROWN SAYS RAVENS WILL CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE ON OFFENSE
Posted by Mike Florio on February 26, 2009, 7:09 p.m.

Ravens center Jason Brown will soon be playing for a new team. And it sounds like Brown is more than a little bitter over the team’s decision not to pay him the kind of contract he apparently will be getting on the open market.

“[F]or the last four years I’ve poured out my heart and my soul to that team,” Brown said during an appearance on Sporting News Radio’s The Monty Show. “Any and everything that you could possibly say or do to be that guy, the type of caliber player where any team out there would say, ‘Hey that’s the type of guy we want, that we need on our team,’ that’s me. I’m not trying to pump myself up right now, but that’s how I have to feel because I’ve done everything possible to market myself and to build my stock over the last four years.”

Brown also thinks that the decision not to keep him arises from an ongoing philosophy to invest money onto the defensive side of the ball.

“And I do realize they’re in a binding situation right now and if you look at the history with Baltimore they’ve always been a defensive team and with the stance their taking with me right now looks as though they will continue to be a defensive team that struggles offensive wise,” Brown said.

Brown has been informed that the Ravens won’t be attempting to re-sign him. Candidates to land him include the Redskins, Dolphins, Vikings, and Rams.

Don't need it. Jason Brown can be brought in by limo from B-more and Hall is in-house. Anything other than those two is gravy.

Even Dock can just catch the train down to DC LOL.

I'm looking for Hall and Dock tonight. The rest... eh.

Edit: Ok maybe Willis too.

Jason Brown is looking to become one of the highest paid interior linemen in the NFL. Do you really think he's worth that kind of money to play center for us?

Personally, no. Sandwiched between big Dock and a resurgent Thomas (or Rinehart or Jansen possibly) Rabach is serviceable.

He ain't getting Faneca $$$. When he makes a Pro Bowl then he can think about asking for that. If he has unreasonable demands, then pass on him.

[SmootSmack]

The interest in both sides, but it's apparently more from Brown's side then the Redskins. If we do sign him, Kendall is basically gone

Couldnt agree more. He might not get Faneca $, but who knows? Look at the contract Dockery got from the Bills. Noone expected a slightly-above average interior lineman to fetch that kind of money.

LOL Brown complains about the lack of offense in Baltimore... I know, i know we'll be better this year but really.
