2011 Redskins Free Agents Rumors and Reports-Part 3

[Longtimefan]

There's a lot of talent left on the market to be acquired (especially for depth) Some teams are taking it slow waiting for prices to drop.

Or, waiting to see who else is cut. There will be more players available in the next few days...probably a lot more Cowboys too.

Cullen - comes back to us for a cheaper contract after seeing no one is going to break the bank for him.

James Jones- There is still no #1 reciever and need the talent

Rudd-28 going into his prime and we be a great compliment to Fletcher

Blalock is a beast and we change the look of the o-line for a long time.

Tell me how any of these players aren't worth the skins time?

We need another lineman and a Linebacker. The WR's are Marginal at best. I admit Jenkins is a reach but last year we signed both Larry Johnson and Parker when most thought we couldn't do it. (even if they didn't make the team in the end)

Wow, Atlanta just got Ray Edwards for less than we paid Stephen Bowen. That's really good work by Thomas Dimitroff.

I wanted to answer the question: what has our money gotten us so far? We've spent more than $50 million in free agency.

I went to my FA Spreadsheet and to the 79 scale to see what kind of quality we've brought back. These rankings were made before FA opened (with the exception of players acquired in trades, like Gaffney), and do not consider our scheme. Just the quality of player. Basically, no pro or anti Redskins bias here.

Barry Cofield 89
Josh Wilson 85
Stephen Bowen 83
Santana Moss 83
Chris Chester 79
Jabar Gaffney 79
Sav Rocca 79
Donte Stallworth 77
Kellen Clemens 75

Our $50 million brought us one potential star (who doesn't have an obvious place in our scheme), a young above average corner, two average players in Bowen and Moss, three guys who are fringy starters, but may be so according to need, and some depth in Stallworth and Clemens.

Is that worth $50 million? In 2009, Vinny got one potential star and a young, average corner for that much money. It's not that dissimilar to what we have here, except in that we have more holes now. In 2004, we seemingly did a lot better than this with less cap room: Springs, Washington, Brunell, Griffin, Ray Brown, Portis, etc. That FA class put a core of talent in place for the next five years. I don't know if this one will do the same.

Completely Off-Topic:

I just heard on the Doug Gottlieb show that Vinny said somewhere (on the radio I guess) yesterday that he offered two first rounders to the Bengals for Chad Ochocinco back in the day when Ocho was asking to be traded. Did anyone hear this? Is this true?

Yeah, I do remember that from back in the day. Thank god Mike Brown is Mike Brown, because if it had been any other team in the NFL they'dve taken it and ran, and we'd have no Orakpo and Trent Williams, or possibly our '08 first rounder and Orakpo. Not sure if the offer was before the 2008 draft or after.

Byron Westbrook re-signed, much to SmootSmack's glee.

Hell yeah it's true, I remember thinking how IDIOTIC the Bengals were for not taking that deal. I wouldve been PISSED if I was a Bengals fan....

well, i think they're pretty pissed regardless. now THAT is a championship FO. vinny would be proud.

[SmootSmack]

Yeah I know we talked about this a few months back. It's odd though because someone else very involved in the trade talks back then told me it was something like a 1st and 3rd that could be as high as a 1st for Chad and a conditional late pick...but it's Vinny so what can you really believe. Still...willing to give up up to two 1st round picks for Ocho...but won't move a 5th for Jamaal Charles.

Rex won't leave because this is the only place he can start
