visionary Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Next week Goodwin is coming to town. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/16/AR2006031601802_pf.html "Free agent offensive lineman Jonathan Goodwin is scheduled to visit the Washington Redskins on Monday, team and league sources said, as the club executes its second wave of offseason maneuvering to add depth. Coach Joe Gibbs said the team is essentially finished with its major splurges after signing five players in the first three days of free agency, but the Redskins are still pursuing a center-guard, a starting-caliber linebacker and a defensive back." "Goodwin, 27, has spent his four-year career with the New York Jets since being selected from Michigan in the fifth round of the 2002 draft. He would be a solid backup at center and guard, and has played primarily right guard for the Jets. Goodwin started 10 games last season, and has also excelled on special teams. Goodwin is 6 feet 3, 318 pounds, and the Redskins are seeking one veteran to replace their two primary depth linemen from 2005 -- veterans Ray Brown and Cory Raymer; Brown retired and Raymer was released last week." (don't usually post threads in here, but I didn't see this anywhere to my surprise, since it came out at least half an hour ago, so....) I hope we try to get Mitchell too by the way. We need to add At Least two starting/stop-gap quality o-linemen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jofizz Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Man this guy is a beast. Get out the checkbook Danny. Sounds like a good guy to have backing up the dirtbags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexxrev Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 glad too see this, depth is needed. good find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 So would you guys be satisfied as far as OL depth is concerned if we sign this guy? We'd have all our starters return, Molinaro backing up tackle and this guy for center/guard. I'd be happy if we got him and used one or two of our late round (6 or 7) picks on developmental linemen.

flexxskins Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hey visionary, I was hoping on the Mitchell signing myself. Have you heard any word on what the hold up is on him signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Nice find. If the coaching staff likes him, he's ours. :thumbsup: Agree. He sounds like a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 An offensive lineman who went to Michigan. Not much more needs to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionary Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 We had trouble last year, so I think we need to sign a top backup guard and a top backup center, and maybe one or two other medium range o-line backups, to bring into camp at least. We may be able to get some in the draft though. (maybe trading down with the 2nd round pick to the 3rd or 4th round). But we also need another CB and LB. It would be a lot easier if the backup o-linemen we already have would should a bit more promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionary Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hey visionary, I was hoping on the Mitchell signing myself. Have you heard any word on what the hold up is on him signing? No, I haven't heard anything new about him since the report that we brought him in or were interested him, or whatever. I like him and this other guy though. They could help a lot I think.

SittingBull Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Maybe this means the coaching staff is confident in Molinaro's ability to step up to the plate and fill in temporarily at OT if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfbovey Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 This would be a good signing because he can play Center and Guard. Bugel definately likes to have versatile backups to maximize depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FS36 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 So, apparently we aren't done with free agency. A starting caliber linebacker and CB are looking to be acquired through free agency. How many more starting caliber linebackers are left in the pool? So if O-line depth, LB, and CB depth will be solved thru FA, what does that leave for the draft? I'm hoping we package our 2nd with something to move into the late 1st to pick up a natural receiving TE like Pope or Lewis. I really hope we can get Lewis. He's 6'6, has good hands, and what's more, can block. I know Pope will be gone, as well as Davis and I never really like Fasano. Fasano is slow and doesn't seem to have natural athleticism.

dfbovey Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Gibbs said that with a new CBA, the Redskins would attempt to fill all their needs in free agency and draft the best available players in the draft. Modest free agent moves remaining? Sign Jamar Fletcher as a nickel back. Sign Jonothan Goodman as a utility OL backup. Sign Sam Cowart to play MLB and move Marshall to weakside. That would cover most of the holes in the roster. I'd still like to see more depth on the OL and at the DT positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I don't know much about him, vis, but he sounds like a good pick. Raymer showed we'd be better having our b/u center be able to play gaurd so he meets the need and has the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
