WR - Rice can play. No to Britt and Nicks because they quit on their teams.
RT - I dunno. Didn't work last season.
CB - Sign Corey Graham today.
ILB - Steal Daryl Smith from Ravens since they don't want to pay him.

I don't think Nicks quit as much as he was hurt, if it is a 1-2 year deal I am fine with that.

looking back the mitchell deal seems like the only one i thought we would have made.

reports were that we were targeting him.

im trusting the FO to have a game plan for FS.

I would like to see something done about RT in FA. Im not a big fan of starting rookies at the ends (unless they are blue chip talent like trent). I think SF got a bargain trading a 7th for martin who is a recent 2nd rounder at a position of need - RT.

I know reports are that we are looking to add another WR but i dont think that is a position of need. there is not a true no. 1 on the market and we dont need another no 3 or 4 receiver.

garcon, hank, roberts, moss, robinson = no more room for another average body. we already have 4 of them.

Good thing we have a #1 WR already, and I wouldn't call Roberts an average body until he plays, but I can see us adding another WR somewhere.

I'd REALLY love to just have one impact signing even if it's Orakpo. I don't want it just to "have one", but I see these others teams doing just fine resigning their own guys and still getting a big FA. I thought we had tons of cap space?

Unless anyone trusts Hankerson, which I don't, we need to add another WR2/WR3-caliber guy. Roberts is borderline WR2/3 but can return kicks too. Solid signing but we need a clear #2, which we may not have right now unless Roberts can step into it. Problem is, he's a slot WR, more of a WR3.


I still want Stephon Tuitt at DE with Pick #34.

I still think Britt (if we can get him on the cheap) is our #2. Or, Decker :-).

Right tackle Bruce Campbell (Panthers) to visit Redskins today, per Tandler.

[Monkeydad]

Since we have not been spending on the secondary as we expected, we probably can afford Decker and I'd love that move. He can also return kicks...we need as many of those as we can get. Decker's visiting the Jets.

We have to be more attractive than them for a WR. We have a QB. They don't. Vick has been rumored to be an option for them, so they're apparently not sold or commuted to Geno Smith.

Some are suggesting Britt and Rice...I hate the idea of both. Neither can stay on the field, whether because of injuries or off-field issues. They've both shown that can play at a high level but both will be headaches.

He was on my Skins draft wish list out of college. Get the ink ready.

A bit injury-prone and has not been what he could be in the pros, but he's a beast and is only 25.

Should be cheap and if we don't land a top RT, he'll be an upgrade. If we do get someone, solid backup for both tackle spots.

The team on Tuesday afternoon scheduled visits with free agent cornerback Corey Graham, who spent the past two seasons with Baltimore, and defensive end Antonio Smith — a 10th-year veteran who played for the Houston Texans the past five seasons. The two players are expected to arrive at Redskins Park on Wednesday.

He was on IR all of last year, and played in 5 games the year before. Would this be a depth signing, or is he being looked at as a starter.

Upgrade if signed. Move Palombus to OG. Tom Compton as swing tackle.

Trent LT
Lauvau LG
Kory C (gain 10-15 pounds)
Palombus RG
Campbell RT

Cut - Chester, Monty

i would not count on campbell to be the answer at RT.

even if we signed him, im not sure he would make it on the opening day roster.

imo he has zero positives to hang your hat on other than he is a former terp and had "draft steal" hype in the draft.

Bruce Campbell made it to unrestricted free agency, huh? Vested veteran Bruce Campbell.
