goodbye evans

Not too surprising. I know we're all disappointing the overachiever isn't returning (and it probably only further confirms that Blache's personal fave, Phillip Daniels, is returning) but a) you had to figure after we let him test the market we weren't going to make a big push for him, if he wanted to return he would and b) no one is the least bit concerned/curious that only team made a true bid for him?

I'm happy for him though. Good luck in Frisco with Damon Huard manning the other side.

Over/under on the number of days until SmootSmack's User Title reads "Alex Buzbee": 4.5

I had Alex Buzbee, and Sting Like a Buzbee off and on for several weeks last summer, went on vacation, came back and he tore his ACL...so he's asked me not to do that again

...I've got the over.

I wonder if Evans was upset with Washington. From my understanding both teams had similar offers on the table for 2yrs and around $4M. Evans said he wanted to be back with the Skins and wanted a chance to start. So Jason Taylor gets released, therefore as soon as Evans signs a new deal with us, it's his job to lose.

So if we assume the Skins were offering him ~$2M/yr (almost 2.5x what he made last year), and he had his chance to start, why would he relocate 3000 miles to play for a worse defense?

maybe he was guaranteed to start there?

anyways thought that he was going to decide friday, maybe it was by friday

either way, some people made this guy out to be an awesome player, he's replaceable, just up to us to do it

Wasn't an achilles injury?

Jeez the only DE still on the roster w/ any size couldn't make it through warm-ups w/o a serious injury... fantastic.

Here we go again, the sky is falling. We released JT, we didn't resign a journeyman DE who's 30 yrs. old. The FO is retarded, Vinny sucks, Snyder only cares about money, etc. etc.

If my figures are correct we have $ 12.2M in cap room, after we were supposed to be in "cap hell" again for the 50th season in a row. There are still the following decent UFAs out there at DE, LB and OT:

OL: Khalif Barnes, Gandy, Runyan, Marvel Smith, St. Clair, Tauscher, Tra Thomas, Ray Willis

DE: Berry, Daniels, a bunch of no names

LB: Derrick Brooks, Donnie Edwards, Mike Peterson

There will also be June 1 cuts.

In the draft we aren't locked in to a specific position or player so we have flexibility to get an immediate impact starter or trade down and get starters in two positions. If Orakpo is available at # 13 we take him, if one of the two top OTs (Monroe or Smith) falls, we take him. Otherwise we drop back into the bottom third of the 1st round and pick up a 2nd rounder. There we should still be able to target either Smith, Britton or Oher at OT, Tyson Jackson or Robert Ayers at DE, or one of the USC OLBs. We may get real lucky and get one of these players in the second if we manage a trade-down well.

No June 1 cuts this year. Last capped year means that there's no added cap relief for waiting until June first to cut.

I suppose there could be a flurry of activity then, but it would be purely coincidental.

It sort of feels like after Dock everyone at Redskins Park went on vaca... i'm not advocating another spending spree w/o purpose but for f sake we have some serious needs. Why spend $63 guaranteed money @ DT and the secondary in one fell swoop but fail to shore up a proven, healthy run-stopping LDE and also keep the LB corp shallow on depth and talent?

GTripp0012 · 03-04-2009, 10:26 PM

But if Buzbee was waiting for an opening...this is pretty much as wide open a race as the Redskins have for a starting position.

The team loves Buzbee (at least they did last year), but I don't know if they see him as a full time starter.
