2015 Free Agents

[That Guy]

at the end of the season, gruden was putting thompson in to pass block. he wasn't amazing at it, but he was better than the other three RBs.

Starting today teams can waive players from their rosters. Players with four or more seasons immediately become free agents and able to sign with any team while those with less than four years in the league are subject to the waiver system.

The Skins are fifth in line to claim a player with less than four years of service. I can see how this could conceivably help us but i have some questions.

First of all, why would teams want to waive players at this time? It seems to me that they might want to wait.

Secondly, if the Skins pick up a waived player, would they need to drop another player from their roster?

I'm having trouble grasping the benefits of these new rules.

Does the NFL really need the $400. fee ?....... I know they need to keep the numbers down, but there must be a better way

Yea thats kind of greedy ... They should pay the scouts etc a per diem to attend out of the league pocket. Not force these potential players to pay them..

Terrell Owens can wear a disguise, use a fake name, and lie about his age but can he scrape up the $400 fee? That's the question in my mind.

Iupati is only an elite run blocker you guys do know that right? His Pass blocking is below average and that's what we need imo more of a hybrid who can do both but im looking more at his pass protection.

[over the mountain]

the only reason i can think that the NFL is charging players to attend is bc they are not signed with a team, not under NFLPA .... im guessing?

does seem odd and petty since, ultimately, it is there to benefit teams. there might be a legal reason for it.

2 FA I would like the Redskins to sign, Mike Iupati and Brandon Flowers.

[Irrefutable]

the Redskins could have a lot of cap space, rumors are there will be several vets cut due to big contracts.... Bowen, Chester, Coefield, Paulson, Porter, Hall, etc.

They now have somewhere between $14- $20 million dollars, when you add the expected increase, and the cuts, they should have $30-$40 million dollars in room. I hope they go after B level free agents at safety, OL, CB, DL, and TE.

I'd rather wait and see how Hall comes back from the injury(s) ... Before cutting him... He still has a ton of value for THIS secondary..
