jbooma Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 We have had an issue with the DL and DE's the last couple of years if we do not sign Carter who else is out there that can help? A number of key guys have already been signed by other teams: • Pryce is right: Ravens to give DE $10M guaranteed • Texans nab DE Weaver as part of defensive makeover • Broncos retain DT Warren with lucrative 6-year deal • Panthers sign DT Kemoeatu to 5-year, $27.5M deal • Bills tackle needs, sign DT Tripplett, TE Royal I think even more then a #2 WR we need a good to great DT as well as a DE. When Griffen got hurt last year the D did not play as good and it was not a coincidence. Let Randle El go to the bears with Lloyd now we can get a lesser name WR to compliment both Moss and Lloyd, we need DL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frediemac Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 DT Kemoeatu was the guy the Skins had interest in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 honestly im comfortable with the situation we had, but we just need more depth along the d-line to help out the current guys. when joe and griffin were playing at their allstar level, daniels was a mad-man. Wynn is a great run stopper. we need to continue to develop Evans and pick up Andre Carter and another DT and we are fine. We need an athelitic 3rd down rusher. im not sure if chris clemons will step in at the LB position this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballGuy2677 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 WE NEED DARREN HOWARD lets pull a Clevland and sign him from under philly tonight Oh my gosh...if we could do that, I would cry of joy... But if we cant sign a good defensive end theres always Daryll Tapp in the Draft though I rather sign a defensive end and draft a cornerback.

Laxpunk2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 It's looking more and more as if we'll sign Andre Carter to give us some speed/depth at the end position. I think our lack of activity among DL points to us adressing it in the draft. We have plenty of players that can contribute now, they're just getting older. A draft pick or two will let us develop a player to take over when Daniels/Wynn start getting too banged up to keep playing. Resigning Evans will also be crucial as he gives us depth all along the defensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter23 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 i figure if Carter gets signed, he would start over Wynn atleast... i know he played LB with the 9ers last year, but what end position was he playing before that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNeverDie Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I wonder whats taking so long for us to sign Carter? Maybe they're negotiating with him as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azmodeus13 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Carter was a RDE before - and that is his natural position in my opinion. Speed edge rusher who can play run stopper at OLB... Personal theory I have stated several times - I think GW might rotate Carter from run stopping OLB to DE on passing situations and bring in a better cover OLB on the same passing situations - Carter was not a good cover LB with the niners. I still drool over Clemons, Carter, Griffin and Daniels on the line on a 3rd and long - I can see the pockets collapsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdarugar Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 who is left? I say we trade Patrick Ramsey for Kris Jenkins and Julius Peppers but seriously.. who is left?

azmodeus13 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 A beast who gets injured a lot and comes with a higher price tag than RE... a lot higher... I think you're right to say jump on him, but make it an incentive laden contract to cover our butts in case he rides the pine a lot with injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i heard from somewhere that he hated the Redskins though? Because all of his friends were Skins fans and it bugged him or something like that.

Mister Happy Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 The best DEs are still out there in Andre Carter, Darren Howard and John Abraham. Considering how we fleeced the 49ers for Lloyd, I think Robert Mathis is not totally out of the picture. I wouldn't mind making a play for Kalimba Edwards, too.

Butz65 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 We have had an issue with the DL and DE's the last couple of years if we do not sign Carter who else is out there that can help? A number of key guys have already been signed by other teams:• Pryce is right: Ravens to give DE $10M guaranteed • Texans nab DE Weaver as part of defensive makeover • Broncos retain DT Warren with lucrative 6-year deal • Panthers sign DT Kemoeatu to 5-year, $27.5M deal • Bills tackle needs, sign DT Tripplett, TE Royal I think even more then a #2 WR we need a good to great DT as well as a DE. When Griffen got hurt last year the D did not play as good and it was not a coincidence. Let Randle El go to the bears with Lloyd now we can get a lesser name WR to compliment both Moss and Lloyd, we need DL Relax - if we sign Carter we'll be in good shape. No team in the league has real depth. That's the reality of today's NFL. If we sign Carter I'm sure we'll be able to get depth with the draft or via pick up after the June 1st cuts. We can't sign every free agent can we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNorth Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I wouldnt be surprised to see either Wynn or Daniels traded/cut should teh skins sign Carter, especially if Demetric Evans resigns. IMO, there would be too much money tied up in the DE spot if Carter signs. Then again with the new salary cap it is hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sign Andre Carter, re-sign Evans, and reluctantly cut Wynn...I like the guy but he is old and is costing us too much on the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyConway Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Carter would be a big add but I think we'll draft for both lines mainly for depth. Some names for DT... http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=127&p=9&c=12&yr=2006&nid=83&lnid=83&rc=16&pid=22 and DE... http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=127&p=9&c=12&yr=2006&nid=83&lnid=83&rc=16&pid=23 I wouldn't mind Carlos Hall or Abraham.
