TK Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Guys like Walt Harris are going to be plentiful in the second round of free agency.Heck, somebody just picked up Atrell Hawkins a few days ago :laugh: Good for him. Last year we waited until mid June to pick him up. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Didn't Vinny say we're not done yet? Stay tuned. :munchout: Yeah .. but the signing of Carter was After he said that. wasnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 You gotta love how aggressive we are in free agency. With all the big hoopla over our cap situation, we are signing guys right and left. I couldn't imagine my team just watching free agency pass by without making an effort to shore up it's weaknesses.

richard saunders Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I don't see it happening... I agree with you Die Hard, it's my dream pick up also. I'm not concerned about his supposed character issues. But, I think someone else will step up and offer more (either compensation or money) than we can ultimately afford.

Slateman Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I think we've done enough big name signing. I'd rather draft a guy and then get some Oline help and a nickle back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailYeah Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 If we really have signed Carter, and Abraham is visiting the Park. Of course we're still in the running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMADD Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 The Redskins have all 5 starters back from last year. And it's not going to break the bank to get a few reserves in here.We effectively lost Raymer and Ray Brown this offseason. Both making peanuts It's not going to cost a lot to get their replacements. I think the goal should be to UPGRADE the OL reserves, not just replace Raymer and Brown, who, frankly, only deserved peanuts. When Thomas went out, it hurt. The Skins need some competent backups on the OL, and no, you can't get them for peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard saunders Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 TK, Cerrato did say we weren't done, but he also said it would be tough to land Abraham. He talked about us not having a first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not concerned about his supposed character issues. But, I think someone else will step up and offer more (either compensation or money) than we can ultimately afford. I understand.... I've just got a gut feeling here. I think Abraham wants to come here. All things being equal (or close to), I think people understand that this team is about to take off. It's young team and core, it's building momentum, all-star coaching staff, it's a great venue, great fans, great tradition.... and the team spends money. Just a hunch.

Frediemac Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I would think we have forced Denver's Hand into spending Big Bucks for Abraham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyleft Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Even though the team signed Carter... the money is still there to sign a guy like Abraham. You give them our 2nd round pick, Ramsey and a pick next year... and we don't need much space for a "rookie draft pool" Not to mention... how does this play out? Renaldo Wynn is still under contract. He's also a versatile D-linemen who can play DE and DT. And he's lost some speed on the outside and never provided a pass rush anyways. We can add Wynn to our DT rotational mix (Griffin, Salevea) and have Carter and Abraham switching with Phillip Daniels. You can also put Phillip Daniels in... and move Carter to LB in different schemes. I wouldn't count Abraham out just yet. I THOUGHT SINCE ABRAHAMS WAS GIVING THE FRANCHISE TAG WE WOULD HAVE TO GIVE UP A FIRTS ROUNDER. WE KNOW FROM SPURRIER, THAT'S NOT A GOOD BUSINESS.:dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 This is what I do know; everybody the skins have gone after this offseason they've gotten. I'm not trying to get my hopes up like that, but with Snyder and Gibbs track record this offseason I wouldn't be suprised at all. In fact, I believe the skins will get him. It's not a question of if, it's merely a question of how and how soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE KNOW FROM SPURRIER, THAT'S NOT A GOOD BUSINESS.:dallasuck 2 first or firts rounders actually, but that can be negotiated (revoking the tag perhaps) as we saw with the Lloyd deal.

fdarugar Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I am starting to think Carter is going to play LB, with Abraham possibly signing as a DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Thomas went out, it hurt. The Skins need some competent backups on the OL, and no, you can't get them for peanuts. If the Redskins wanted to secure high quality offensive linemen... they would have already been on the hunt. The team has identified its areas of concentration.... and it's not in the hunt of big-name offensive linemen. Whether we wish them to or not. When you got 5 starters the calibre we do... and as much money as is invested in the offensive line... you aren't going to spend big-time money on reserves as well. It isn't logical.

Kevin West Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 If anything, signing Carter gives the Redskins greater leverage in trade talks with the Jets. Pass Rushing DE is no longer a desperate "need." Also, once Brees decides where he wants to go, the rest of the FA QBs will start to fall into place. The Jets will need to make a move.

WE KNOW FROM SPURRIER, THAT'S NOT A GOOD BUSINESS.:dallasuck not necessarily. they can still trade him for whatever theyre asking for (which may not be a first rounder), but if they let him sign with us for nothing in exchange (in terms of a trade), they get a free first round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Tony, don't forget Wilson and Molinaro. It's time for them to start contributing. I haven't Gary. Honestly Wilson I'm writing off as a body... Molinaro I think can contribute. We still need a backup center though and guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HapHaszard Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Man I have to quit taking naps, when I went to sleep Carter wasn't even in the picture and it looked like things had settled down. NFL radio said somethiing about the Skins being at it again, and I rushed here to find out. I see on the board that it was posted here at 4:30 or so and was just breaking news on NFL Radio at 5:25, geeze, you'd think they would read this board for the news to report.
