RDSKNFN_48 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 FIRE UP REDSKINS ONE: CBA Talks: Owners Agree to New Deal By Gary Fitzgerald Redskins.com March 8, 2006 NFL owners agreed to a six-year extension of the Collective Bargaining Agreement on Wednesday evening. The vote was 30-2. The decision is expected to increase the 2006 salary cap substantially. Free agency will now start on Friday morning, March 10, at 12:01 a.m. ET, according to NFL.com. The salary cap is expected to be more than $104 million, an increase of the $94.5 million that would have gone into effect without an extension. The lower salary cap figure would have forced several teams, including the Redskins, to release some veteran players. Head coach Joe Gibbs and team officials had worked diligently over the last few weeks to restructure contracts of veteran players, including quarterback Mark Brunell. It is expected that those contract restructurings will be voided now that a new Collective Bargaining Agreement has been approved. Gibbs has said that he expects the team to be aggressive in free agency with an extension of the CBA. Team officials have identified wide receiver, defensive line and cornerback help as positions of need this offseason. "The way I look at it is that we are one of the aggressive teams in the league when it comes to signing free agents and doing the things we need to do," Gibbs said earlier this week. "Everybody has their own mode of operation, but for us we feel like being aggressive when we see players that we can add through free agency."

zoony Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Sign a certain somebody from the Rams. Get D line help thru the draft. But I do think we need a linebacker in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAsBeachBoy Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Certainly good news but no new quotes really those were from another time. Give it two hours and we'll probably have some solid stuff to drool over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Quite frankly, anything gibbs touches turns into gold. whatever he does and whoever he cuts i will support him. cut Jansen, and i still support u. Just bring back the lomardi back to washington. i was too young to witness the celebration and who was it that caught a pass from the president(ricky sanders?)

ptimeskins-11 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Right on Taylorpicksix, Thornton would be a great pick up. Will come cheaper than some LB's. I'm a Tar Heel so I've watched him since college. Would be paired up with Marcus Washington again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard86 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Nice - we have a lot of money to play with. Let's go after a linebacker. Hey, I heard LaVar Arrington is available, and wants to play in the NFC East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedzoneHunter Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Sign a certain somebody from the Rams.Get D line help thru the draft. But I do think we need a linebacker in FA. How about this: draft a DE since that position is deep this year. Then sign Howard to start at DE and help develop our pick. Sign Tommy Polley, OLB from Baltimore and out bid San Fran for the services of Brandon Lloyd, a restricted free agent WR who has star written all over him.

Sign Tommy Polley, OLB from Baltimore and out bid San Fran for the services of Brandon Lloyd, a restricted free agent WR who has star written all over him. If San Fran didn't match our offer, we'd have to give them picks based on what they've tendered him. I can't remember if they've done that yet or not but we probably don't have the picks, anyway. I'm not a big Polley fan, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailVictory Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Are there any cut/waived players that we might sign before the start of free agency? Like an Ike Bruce, Sam Adams, Sam Madison, etc.? I wonder if we would've cut Ramsey tonight if the new CBA did not get signed... kudos to the team for playing chicken on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portis&taylor Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Sam Adams intrigues me. I think he would be a good addition to the team i like salave'a but Sam is much better maybe better than griffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
