Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013

Not surprised about Hall. Was never a big fan but he did play pretty well down the stretch last season.

[The Goat]

I hope we re-sign Hall. It's not very often a guy says he wants to stay on with his team and openly says he'll take a pay cut to do so. Hall is a baller and the more I reflect on the season I like his fiesty ways. Our defense can be flat, lackluster in long stretches outside of London's tremendous effort/focus and Hall's edge.

Imagine this 4:30 presser with MS and BA together:

At 4pm, Mr Mara and Mr Goodell, along with the other owners in the NFL, were served with an injunction on all actions related to the blatant extortionary tactics, and we intend to disregard the 18M salary cap penalty. If any FA acquisition that we try to make is denied on grounds of the salary cap penalty, we will immediately file the appropriate legal briefs regarding unfair constraint of trade acts.

Thank you and have a good day.

ok, I probably got all the legal terms wrong, and it probably won't go down like that, but I would just like to hear the words "Mr Mara was served", If that's bad, then sue me :cheeky-sm

I would love a :45 second press conference along those lines as well..

Mr. Mara, Mr. Goodell, you screwed us in 2012 with $18 million in cap penalties and we kicked your ass. You're screwing us again and we'll kick it once more. RG3 bitches. (drops mic-walks off)

[Paintrain]

Per JasonLaCanfora: In addition to releasing CB DeAngelo Hall, as expected, Skins also highly likely to release Santana Moss and Adam Carriker. Need cap space

[Meks]

ugh, just dont want to see Moss go at all, he was huge for us in his new role last season

[The Goat]

Gdamnit I hate to see Moss go. Lame.

Maybe we'll re-sign to a more cap-friendly deal. He deserves that opportunity.

If the thought is that Moss will not get picked up do to his age if we release him then I suspect we can get him at any offer we want.
Partially because I just read this in his wiki.

On January 25, 2012, his $5.2 million home in Florida went into foreclosure.

[Evilgrin]

Its not about Hall personally, its about not overpaying, and creating bad contracts.

[Chico23231]

Thanks for the years of service Moss and D Hall...both were favorites of mine at one point in time. Its time to move on.

Ugh we aren't very good at FA:

That really doesnt represent the Redskins as a whole.
It represents Vinny Cerrato.

I think "aren't" is an incorrect statement. The guys they cite are:

Haynesworth, signed 2009 (4 years ago)
D. Sanders, signed 2000 (13 years ago)
B. Smith, signed 2000 (13 years ago)
A. Archuleta, signed 2007 (6 years ago)
J. Trotter, signed 2002 (11 years ago)
J. George, signed 1999 (14 years ago)
D. Stubblefield, signed 1999 (14 years ago)

So, yeah. In the late 90's and early 00's we sucked. AND, in the last 10 years, we had two very bad signings.

Since Cerrato has been gone, we have had solid success in the FA market. Last year's crop were significant contributor's to the team at relatively reasonable prices. Without going back, pretty sure the same could about MS's first crop of UFA's.

Shanallen runs March very differently than Cerrato.

Those were all terrible, but IMO Stubblefield was the worst, because he was still in his prime and he was awesome in SF, then came to our team and did absolutely nothing. I always hated him for that. Haven't heard that name in a long time, alright done venting.

I hope we don't break the bank for any big signings. If we can get just 1 of the 3 positions signed , RT, S, CB, then we could have a more open draft to get best players avaialble while filling in the other 2 positions. Don't overpay though.
