Any last minute free agent pickups?

SmootSmack · 08-30-2005, 09:49 PM

I get this feeling that there are a lot of people even on this board who know more about Gibbs' playbook than McCants

celts32 · 08-30-2005, 10:13 PM

I would sign Price. I think our WR's are a little weak and I think while Price has been a bust I blame at least half of it on the most overrated QB in my lifetime. Price's stock in the league is low right now so he will probably come cheap...

I noticed that the Cardinals have cut Ifeanyi Ohalete, is he still hurt?

LOL!!! Or at least "think" they do....

Anybody think Dyson will be cut?

For the most part, the players cut at this stage in the game are fool's gold. They may look and sound great, but there's a reason they are jobless right now.

if they get anyone I'd say Koren- he's fast and big like a Monk prototype. A good coach can turn personal problems around. Price would be a nice pickup also. If he can work his way to #2 he'd may get his flare back. Were better get someone cause we don't have depth at that position and moss is considered injury prone

MTK · 08-31-2005, 09:25 AM

I'm sorry but a good coach can't turn around Robinson's personal problems, he needs to take care of that himself.

Big C · 08-31-2005, 01:27 PM

i wouldnt call robinson the type of character guy Gibbs would want on his team

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 08-31-2005, 02:21 PM

I wouldn't want to sign Robinson unless:

1. All of our wideouts were dead or paralyzed
2. D.C. reinstated prohibition
3. D.C. area stores stopped selling antifreeze, rubbing alcohol, and glue
4. We kept Koren chained beneath FedEx until game day

offiss · 08-31-2005, 02:37 PM

The reason I would take a flyer on Warrick even with the injury problems is this, he will be moving from playing the majority of his games on turf to grass, which may help quite a bit as far as his injuries are concerned, that terf can eat some players up they can't take the constant pounding terf bring's on an everyday basis, I would imagine he's also practicing on it as well, if the price is right I say take a shot you never know.

JWsleep · 08-31-2005, 03:05 PM

I'd wait for a vet TE and/or a CB--don't think these WRs are worth it right now. But we could use TE upgrade and corner depth. We'll see after the cuts to 53.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 08-31-2005, 05:10 PM

I actually think we're okay at corner. Harris, Rogers, and Springs make a pretty good trio. While Williams uses a lot of defensive backs in his schemes, our lack of depth beyond the nickel-back position is offset by our depth at safety.

However, I would definately like to see more quality depth at tight-end. Sellers is a good blocker, Royal is a good pass-catcher, but I'd like to see us sign another tight-end who can both block and catch. The problem is, I doubt such a guy will hit the market.

That Guy · 08-31-2005, 06:39 PM

gibbs wouldn't go for randy moss, and KR's price/performance/problem ratio is total and complete crap in comparision. gibbs wont do it, period. the guy has REAL problems and i doubt he'll be capable of playing for anyone successfully this year.

price warrick and mccants are probably 3 good pickups for needy teams... price and warrick are good #3 and able to handle #2 jobs... mccants is a good #4 and can play #3 as well, but he's stats will always be closer to those of a TE (360 and 6 type stuff).

That Guy · 08-31-2005, 06:44 PM

if we have the space, price is better than dyson and if he's cheap it couldn't hurt. Warrick would be an upgrade there too, but he's had more injuries and i'm not as sold on him.

either way, if the skins pick up one of those guys, i think they'll be buried at #4 or #5 all year, so it won't matter that much.

Warrick is now a Seahawk
