Would Dunta Robinson & Darren Sproles be 'business as usual'?

skinsfaninok · 02-24-2010, 12:52 PM

Maybe we can trade Carlos to new Orleans for Jamal brown? Then Id be happy to bring in Robinson. Sproles doesn't do anything for me, he's explosive but can't get alot of carries so I think we look elsewhere. Heck John Clayton said we may be in the tomlinson field.

I don't think NO would trade a pro bowl LT for an average corner especially when they have good depth at that position, Landry on the other hand is a little more likely, Safety is a lighter position of theres and who knows if Sharper comes back there or not.

I would welcome Dunta but would hope we shy away from the Sproles sweepstakes. I would prefer a more complete back to groom behind Portis.

I would prefer a more complete back to play ahead of Portis.

Not to pick on anyone in particular, but why do people think that we can trade someone WE don't want (even though I really DO want Carlos) for someone that another team REALLY wants?

Just doesn't make sense to me.

I am glad you said that. All these crazy trade scenarios that make no sense. Like the Panthers trying to trade Peppers for 2 firsts. If he is worth two first round picks then he is worth signing for the amount he was asking YOUR TEAM for. Point blank.

You lost me. What do you mean?

The 20 mil is the amount they'd have to pay for one year if they Franchise him again. Peppers has said many times that he wants out of Charlotte. The Panthers just didn't want to let their best player go, but everyone has a price. Losing their best player they felt was worth 2 first round picks.

dunta robinson i would be interested in. we only have to sign him so there are no picks or players we would lose. the question is how much will it take to land him?

5 yrs/40 mil with 18 mil guar.? is that enough? we could give him 10 mil or so as a signing bonus during the uncapped year.

2010 - 5 mil sal/ 10 mil bonus
2011 - 5 mil salary/ 2 mil bonus
2012 - 5 mil sal/ 2 mil bonus
etc.

i would also tender carlos and let hall, carlos and dunta compete things out. im not ready to move on from carlos.

sproles - no thanks. im going to assume he will want more than dunta but for a change of pace, smaller back who cant carry the load, is he worth 5 yrs/50 mil or so? id rather plug in shanny's RBC and look to draft a later round rb this year or next year.

I hear you. I've been trying to trade you to ES for a while now but they won't even give me a ham sandwich in return. They offered tuna, but I'm holding out for that elusive ham.

Everyone tries to improve their team with free agent signings. The "business as usual" Redskins approach, though, is to pay way too much for free agents, thus creating locker room resentments. In terms of the theme of this thread, to me the question is not who we sign but how much we pay.

I would not mind signing Robinson, Sproles, or especially Dansby, as long as we do not overpay. Then we will not be doing "business as usual."

I feel I'm worth Pastrami but you'd never get that much for me.

Back to topic, I'd LOVE to get Sproles here. He could stay in the same role as in SD...return kicks (bye ARE) and spell an aging RB to try to keep him healthy.

Vet minimum plus incentives?

I would like Sproles. Any explosive player that we acquire on offense is a positive. I wouldn't even object to renting T.O. for a year. He was pretty much a perfect soldier in Buffalo and showed that he can still produce. As for Robinson, I don't really care. I think they are fine with the corners that they have. Tender Rogers and let Barnes and Tryon get better. I would rather see a big time linebacker signed than another corner on defense.

Still, the O-line has to be priority number one and I think you could argue that they need 4 starters brought in (through FA or draft). I will feel better when Dockery is th weak link, not the strength...
