Redskins Free Agency Thread

I am wondering if the next Cooley podcast will be uplifting and hopeful.

I wonder if he will say he is more suited for guard and the upside is worth the signing.

How many players have the current FO and coaching staff rescued from the junk pile and turned into highly productive players? I think that answer would be NONE.

DJ was a good signing until he started talking shit about the organization and coaches

That works if it wasn't just a one year wonder *fingers crossed*

I will give you that one as I didn't completely explain what I meant. I was meaning to imply players than never amounted to anything before being taken in by the Redskins. AP was cast aside due to age and recent play on a bad team. Flowers had the under performing "bust" label on him.

Its such a weird strategy....Make Collins the highest paid safety with one of the biggest contracts in Free agency...and then refuse to spend anymore money to address long standing issues on the team...WR, Guard, pass rusher...

All areas that have good depth in the draft.

We don't know that they haven't tried to address other areas, and just not been able to make the deal. We know they were in the mix for Antonio Brown...certainly reasonable to think that without being the highest bidder, no one WANTS to come here unless they have no other options...such as Flowers.

Way too early prediction... Flowers won't make the team

Quite possible. And that would suck, because $1.5M of this deal is guaranteed. $1.0M was given at signing, and $500K of the salary is guaranteed.

So he could get cut and cost us $1.5M on the cap.

Even the most optimistic of Skins fans have to hate this deal. It's one of the worst I've seen.

Agreed, we could've kept a proven swing tackle for close to that price:

I agree and it is a great point.
However all the talk points to moving Flowers to guard where there is a huge Grand Canyon hole at LG. This is a sink or swim moment for this front Office. Either he adapts to guard and is a decent guard or he sucks and Allen will have another black eye. He is running out of eyes.

Also, I'm pretty sure he is being added for depth at guard. I believe this team's starting left guard will come from the draft.

Close to that price? Nseke's over 3 times as expensive... and 10 years older.
