I could swear that I've heard in the past that he's a local guy and has said that he would love to play for the Skins. I know that really doesn't mean much when there are actually millions of dollars on the line, but maybe he'd be willing to work out a good deal just to play here. (Why do I put so much faith in these players?)

Trevor Pryce is an interesting pick up but I think he'll go back to denver he did the same thing last year

Agree. No Abraham though.

Man Dude I hope your right, I could live with those picks.........I think the sensitive people here think I want to pay T.O. money to some old player, just bring in a solid #2, because Jacobs is Garbage and Patten is a #3

ramsey isn't being traded for abraham, he's not enough (and JA and bryant both probably fail the character test). Pryce will be too expensive and we have no reason to waste money on archuleta...

I don't think we'll try for either CB listed either due to their price and the fact that we already have a #1.

he played under williams before and I don't think he will cost that much... especially if to players we look like a serious contender

I just don't see spending the money with what amounts to a depth pickup. Maybe if he languishes and costs us nothing but he'd have to be ready to sit. Joey S has done a quality job for us and is younger I think.

JoeRedskin · 03-09-2006, 12:25 AM

I am betting we pick up CB Andre Dyson - he's a former Titan (though may not go back all the way to when GW was there) and a solid corner. This year's Walt Harris but a better corner.

A Free Agent Warning

Once upon a time a promising young LB named Pierce was excited about getting a shot at starting in the upcoming season, but unfortunately his team signed an overpriced veteran free agent named Barrow instead. Barrow is still on our cap and never played a down in the regular season (ironically his cap number was a big reason we couldn't afford to resign Pierce the following year). Not only did it turn out that we already had someone who could fill that role but actually we had 2 people who eventually both excelled at that position.

Moral of the story is: Promote from within. Have faith in your coaches and avoid overpaying free agents!

We need to sign our own FA's (especially Clark) first, then if it isn't a WR or DE we have no buissiness talking to them - OK, maybe a veteran OLineman for depth to replace Brown. Everything else can be shored up in the draft! For once we don't have alot of needs.

hmm what about a receiver? wouldnt that be a good choice. hmm come to think of it is ole sticky fingers 50/50 Gardner still out there? or is he still with the packers?

RedskinPete · 03-09-2006, 01:03 AM

I like Akin Ayodele....Can play strongside or weakside LB and is very fast can line up as a DE. Was second in 03 and 04 in tackles and was jacksonville man of the year nominee in 03. He would allow Marshall to stay in the middle[MLB] and leave Washington SLB and Ayodele to weak! I think he fit in great in a GW Defense! I don't know if this would be a first move but it would be a good one!

I was about to post the same thing. I like him too. Though I think we might be able to wait a bit. See what the market is for guys like Peterson and Witherspoon...and LaVar...first

Big C · 03-09-2006, 01:10 AM

i went with archuleta, solely because we havent re-signed ryan clark yet, and we are expected to cut bowen, so that leaves a huge hole at SS. archuleta would fill that. shortly after i think we will add some OLB depth

Redskins8588 · 03-09-2006, 01:15 AM

I voted other I think that we may go after A. Bryant or K. Robinson. Which both would not bother me at all, then maybe we go after a DE or someone for help in our secondary. We may go after Giviens too, either way I dont see us going after and really "big" name player unless Gibbs and or GW thinks that the player will fit with the team...
