Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013 Part II

[BigHairedAristocrat]

winnfield still demands a pretty penny. not sure he'd be worth the price we'd have to pay at his age.

[GridIron26]

Winfield might be old as he will be 36 in few months, but he still gets it done. He didn't even allow a touchdown through air in his side whole season last fall. He is good at blitzing & creating turnovers. I would love it if we are able to find a way to sign him, I don't think there is any better free agent who could come in, help us on the field and mentor our young DBs other than Winfield and Woodson.

What's our cap situation look like at the moment Canuck?

What do people think Winfield would command for an entire contract/against the cap this year?

Really not sure right now. Will try to do an update in the near future.

[Evilgrin]

Winfield gonna join us?

[RGIII]

What type of money will Winfield demand? Damn he's old; Deion old.

Correction. Leon Sandcastle old.

I don't see why we'd sign Winfield.

He's old, injury prone (now) and only a 1-2 year stop gap. I'd take Hall over him.

Winfield is better than Hall even though he is older. And he will get fewer dumb penalties. and he will cost less than, or at worst the same as, Hall. and we are exactly looking for a stop gap of 1-2 years while we invest heavily in young (ie drafted) CB talent.

For the life of me I don't understand why some are still making Hall out as an effective number 1 CB, he isn't that and he shouldn't be paid like one. If he wants to come back at #2 or nickel back money then fine, but otherwise he and FDavis can go tear it up in the AFC East.

Same is true of Winfield. I'm still talking about Hall at FS. CB should be high draft pick, not FA given our cap sitz.

Winfield's play hasn't declined. He'd be a good pickup on a short term contract. Unlike Hall, Winfield will actually tackle people.

Hall at FS would drive me crazy. I couldn't stand watching him, as our last line of defense, getting run over or avoiding tackling altogether. He plays football like a matador and I hate that.

You're right about one thing: CB should be a high draft pick. We should also sign one more vet on a short term deal.

Have you ever watched Hall play in a game?

It depends which game. Hall in one game will look great like against Dallas, then the next week will look awful, getting dragged by QB's and getting beat by third string receivers. Because Hall is so inconsistent, it just depends on which game you watch whether or not Hall will be good or bad, Hall isn't gaining much attention for a reason, because teams are not dumb enough to pay him almost 8 million like the skins would have, which is why they cut him.

Winfield would be a great value for the skins to sign depending on the price, a lot more valuable than Hall seeing as how Winfield graded out a lot better than Hall. Luckily the Skins are waiting for the market to settle which is what great teams do.

I've seen every Redskins game and player since 1960 and Hall is no safety.

I mean, how many commentators/analysts remarked at Hall's inclination, nay, eagerness to put the effin hurt on the ball carrier last year? He's the toughest corner we've had in a long while IMO. Los could hit too (I was at the '08 home game vs the Browns when Los knocked a guy out of the game). But Los has a pretty big size advantage over Hall.
