That's a good question.

Hall was a expected sign. so I don't count him. Doc fell into our laps backwards so I dont count that either. AH was our only calculated FA move thus far. And now nothing except for a moronic old man punter who is no better than Plack. So AH and Johnson. They cut JT. And yes Im going to say it. They should have brought Evans back or Talked to JT earlier about workouts and cut him weeks ago then we could have signed Canty and been done with DE. Maybe FO has a crystal ball but it seems they are content with AH but not very agressive otherwise.

How do you know we weren't going to make a splash for the O-line? It's not the redskins fault that Dockery was released by the Bills. Im sure they would have made a quick swoop in for O-line help if Dock wasn't signed. Either way we got O-line help.

I don't. And Im happy Doc worked out for us. Im not complaining about that. But since signing AH we seem very reserved. Unless you consider Johnson a priority.

I'm really baffled about us not pursuing Angelo Crowell especially since London Fletcher was encouraging the move. Any other OLBs on the radar?

When did Fletcher say they should sign him? If thats true, then I think they will. He was Jery Grays LB, when they were top 5 in the league. Maybe he is just figuring out how much we should pay him.

The longer he's on the market means not that many teams are interested which in turn means his price tag will continue to fall. Maybe that's their thinking.

Exactly, I think the FO is looking for discount given he's had a history of knee problems. I think Crowell could be a solid starter (given he's healthy) for 1-2 years.

Well, what I was trying tosay is maybe they made an offer and he did not like it. So, he is out there trying to establish a value for himself that we can match if we want to. Assuming he wants to play with Gray and Fletcher.

Aside from Fletcher supposedly lobbying for him, I haven't heard anywhere that we're interested in Crowell, and I know he hasn't visited either.

I read a few "Redskins could pursue Crowell" articles, but that's about it. Nothing concrete. That said, I think he would definitely help us.

There was an article in the Washington Times that mentioned London Fletcher's endorsement.

Last I heard, he was visiting Tampa Bay.

Just a thought, some people talked about trading ARE in some threads, and I thought there's no way ARE would have any value. If Greg Lewis is worth a 5th round pick, ARE would have to be worth at least a 4th rounder, possibly a 3rd rounder (he has better numbers the Greg Lewis). I'm not suggesting that ARE be traded, is just that looking at this trade made me think about AREs value.

[53Fan]

I think ARE would make a decent slot receiver this year and if Thomas or Kelly step up that's where we'll see him. I really think he's been out of position since he's been here. That was probably the idea when we got Brandon Lloyd. But to this point nothing has worked out to where we could play ARE at what would be his most productive position.
