One of the most improved teams on paper. Will it translate to more wins in the playoffs?

This would have been a mega-deal about 6 years ago. At this point, I wouldn't get too excited over 31 yo RB and 33 yo WR. Glad we're not the ones shelling out cash for players' retirement... I'd say they get at best 1, and I doubt two years from them.

I really don't like it that the Skins let Knighton get out of town without closing the deal with him. But what do I know? He and his agent may have an inflated idea of his value. Still, I assume that the Skins and his agent would have discussed the parameters of a deal prior to his visit. Oh well, we'll find out soon enough where he goes. I hope we get him.

He probably wanted more than what the Skins wanted to give him. He will play out the market.

With Browner being 6-4, 221 and now 30 years old, could there be any thought by the Redskins of possibly moving him to safety? He has good speed and he is very rugged. He might be able to do some damage as a safety.

Or am I out of my mind, as usual?

So back to NFL Free Agent signings, DeMarco Murray is visiting the Iggles. I was hoping that Jacksonville or the Raiders would lure him out of the NFC East.

If he does sign, it'll be interesting to see him run behind Philly's line; not the same as the Cowboys IMO.

He hasn't played safety before, so he might not be able to make the transition. Rather have him on the outside player corner jamming WR's and excelling in bump n run coverage

It would be fun to see him beating up on WR's (especially Dez Bryant) as a Redskins corner. He and Breeland would be a very physical duo.

OK then, we'll fix the safety mess by signing Browner to play corner and then moving DHall to FS and Amerson to SS.

I wouldnt want Amerson playing SS. We will draft a safety, plus if our front 7 is thst much better our secondary will look better

Damn you Jags and Raiders.

Filed to ESPN: DeMarco Murray, en route now to Philly, is expected to sign with Eagles, per source.

The only positive here is that Philly doesn't have the OL that Dallas has or the QB.

Murray is a good signing. First move by CK that I say, "okay, that makes sense." It is also the first move that causes me any concern. When healthy, Murray is a good, solid back that will fit well into CK's system.

With that said, Murray had one great year behind a great line with D. Bryant on the edge. Prior to that he was very good but oft injured. Also, I think Philly's line, while still competent, is not the line it was three years ago. Finally, what are the numbers involved? Generally, RB's are notoriously bad ROI signings. If he gets D.Murray at ~4.0M/year, very good. If he gets, D.Murray at ~8.0/yr. very bad.

All in all, I think its pretty much a zero sum game for the Skins in that Murray is still in the Division. In the short term, his departure hurts the Cowboys, and his arrival helps the Eagles. Would have preferred Murray to go the way of Shady but, oh well, can't get everything you want.

Murray has 1,100 touches for his career and had a monster 449 touches last year alone. He's a candidate to run out of gas soon.
