Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?

9 free agents in a single off season? Reading through this thread I would think that some would accuse you of blasphemy. Ok 8 because of Ngata, but the Ravens will lock up a long term deal before the end of the season or franchise him.

Bailey on the cheap would be great. I would be able to wear my #24 jerseys in public again.

I don't think we should do things like that anymore. Champ would have been a great life long Redskin. He would have been great to have around in his prime but that is past. We need the team to grow and excel as a unit. a spark here and there isnt goin to do anything.

We need all young hungry players with homegrown vets who are dedicated to the Redskins growth and willing to mentor the younger guys. A guy like D. Green who till this day cares about the team.

I don't want guys who spent their careers somewhere else anymore. It never works out for us.

If we are going to suffer thru the pains of losing we might as well suffer while knowing we are doing things the right way. In a direction to finally have a winning team.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Totally!
To many guys came here cashed in and retired.....on the field! Find some younger dudes that are still trying to make a reputation.
Invest in a herd of high quality scouts!
.........unless a non-overthehill vet falls in your lap at a reasonable rate.

Didn't Bruce Allen change somewhere around 21 players in the Bucs' big season?

9 is pocket-lint to him.

Key word in my original post was SOME. I didn't say sign all of them. Just some of the ones I thought could be a good upgrade. But then again, maybe I am going for blasphemous.
