2011 Redskins Free Agents Rumors and Reports-Part 3

Channing Crowder should go to New England. His name always sounds like some horrible butchering of clam chowder.

So if we are not gonna make a play for Orton, Bulger, etc. then we seriously need to get Rex into camp. Anybody know the hold up?

Yeah. There is no immediate hurry because....

1- This gives Beck and the Rookie QB more playing/learning time.(snaps)
2- Grossman already knows the offense.
3- Technically all the FA's can't participate on the field or in the weight room until Thursday. So, whats the incentive to come in early? so he can stand on the side line and sweat for 2hrs? They keep saying he'll be back, I don't think other teams are beating down his door, and I'm sure he's just playing it smart.... show up late Wed. and sign the contract so he can be on the field Thursday. No big deal.

I'm sure some of the panic is Beck throwing interceptions and not hitting the long ball all that well.... keep in mind other teams are going through the same problems until they all can get back into a groove together again.

Not looking forward to a long season of struggles but i mean we have to be realistic. We are 1 or 2 injuries away from being swept by every team in the NFC Conference.

I like that you think we need to be realistic, but at the same time, we are 1 or 2 injuries away from being swept by every team in the NFC? Now I'm no Kool-Aid sipper, but come on. That just makes you sound like you're in the doom and gloom club. Every team deals with injuries. That's why we need to have good depth. This team has addressed that through the draft and free agency. One thing all these position battles have the advantage of bringing is the fact that the best guys for the jobs will win the jobs.

That is 100 % correct because even if every single player on this team stays healthy we are no better than a 4-12 - 5-11 team. We all know thats impossible , but yes absolutely we are the bottom feeders of the NFC as we speak.

The reason it is taking long is because Rex wants starter money. We don't want to give him starter money. He feels that we don't have any other options if we don't pick him up, so he is putting us to the fire.

No offense to Rex, but he doesn't have any other options really. Who else is going to put him as the starter? Nobody. Hell, he's not even guaranteed to start here, he has to compete for the job.

Tatupu would be a great addition! Knee surgeries were minor; and I'd feel way more comfortable starting him at ILB than Riley, Henson or Alexander.

Hayden would be a nice move, but nothing more than a 1-2 yr deal. Very underrated, and would arguably be the best CB we'd have.

CB's (If Hayden signs)

1. Hayden
2. Hall
3. Wilson
4. Buchannon
5. Barnes

It's a crowded group, but IMO Hayden, would be the best true Cover CB we'd have.

My man if hayden was that good a team as bad as the colts secondary wouldn't let him walk

EEich · 08-01-2011, 09:48 PM

Lots of injuries the last 3 years. Not great before that... would likely be battling Barnes for PT.

It was more of a salary issue. He's one of the top available CBs now, but was under contract for over $6 million this year and has had some injuries. The Colts decided to go cheaper with less injury risk. They have decent CBs left with Jarraud Powers, Jacob Lacey and Justin Tryon.

I'd be willing to take the risk on him for the Skins. He'd probably play behind Wilson and could allow Barnes to be a backup FS instead of CB. If Landry can't start the season, Horton is likely next on the depth chart. OJ Atogwe could shift to SS and let Barnes play at FS...which I think would be better than a starting duo of Horton and Atogwe.

I would be very cautious in signing a CB from a team that chose to let him go because they had Justin Tryon on the squad to replace him...

Just saying...

Or of a team that released Tryon
