Daniels agrees to 1 year vet min deal

tryfuhl · 03-31-2009, 10:00 AM

Daniels called the Redskins yesterday and agreed to terms on a one-year, veteran-minimum deal, according to a league source.

"I'm coming back. I just talked to all the guys," Daniels said by telephone yesterday. "I'll probably end up signing today or tomorrow, but I'm definitely coming back."

Well...were set at DE what position do we address next?...(said in sacastic tone)

He signed for vet minimum. Granted, he probably won't see the field -- but I don't consider this a bad signing at all.

Other then not getting young on defense we have basically shored up all of our D-line issues (unless AH gets hurt) Our only issue on D now is OLB and maybe a late round CB right? Most of our issues are on Offense, meaning we need a RT, G, and a C. Perhaps a RB late in the rounds but we have picked up two talented speed RB's in Dorsey and Aldridge. So in later rounds if we wanted to play with drafting a tall solidly built WR perhaps to groom to be a possession WR might be nice. I would love to see us pick up Tate if available which he probably won't be but there was a 6'-6" or 6'-7" WR that might be good to look at in later rounds. Draft mags are saying he does not have break away speed, but is a good possession WR who will win the jump ball. How nice it would be to have three young WR's for our future.

Good move for us.

I'm guessing he has as good a shot of anybody at starting. I think that we'll def rotate though.

I'd say right now he's penciled in as a starter.

I'd bet on it. He didn't come back here to sit on the bench. He can still play and he's the best run stopper we have at DE.

freddyg12 · 03-31-2009, 12:58 PM

I would think he's the favorite to start IF he's fully recovered & didn't lose much from the injury. At first I though Daseal's post was extreme, but as I think about it, Daniels could still very easily be cut by the end of camp. He's 36 & coming off a bad injury.

Any of our DEs could be cut by the end of camp w/the exception of AC. Its a potentially crowded, but not deep position. If we get a decent DE in the draft or an udfa they'll have to decide whether to keep 2 guys w/roughly the same ability - Wynn & Daniels - or cut one of the speed rushing 'project' guys - Jackson or Buzbee. Or maybe Wilson will be the odd man out. He didn't get much pt under Blache & really didn't have much of a season, other than on spec. teams.

HOw many de's did they keep last year?

MTK · 03-31-2009, 01:03 PM

Unless we draft someone I can't see Daniels getting cut, unless of course he's just not healthy enough but that shouldn't be an issue. Who is going to beat him out? Wynn?

Coff · 03-31-2009, 01:36 PM

Good signing, good deal. He's respected and liked on the team; he provides valuable leadership in the locker room and tutorage to the young guys. It would be a nice if he could pressure a quarterback once in a while, but beggars can't be choosers. Fact is, he's hard, he's tough, he's a role player. Good signing.

Daseal · 03-31-2009, 01:49 PM

Matty, I agree he's penciled in as a starter -- I just don't see him making it through training camp healthy enough to start.

calia · 03-31-2009, 01:49 PM

I agree with this move too. With Brandon Jacobs out there, I like to have a D line with some heft to it. Running into a line with Haynesworth, Griffin, and Daniels on it would have to hurt.
