Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=2674183 this is an espn article listing the free agents available after this season. quite a number of quality LBs, some O linemen, and other players here and there. who do you think we should grab/will grab from this list? linebacker wise, cato june would rock. i think he already played with washington so itd be awesome for those two to reunite.

TheLongshot Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 No MLBs on that list, and that's the only place where I see the Skins signing at LB. Nate Clemmons looks like an obvious choice, considering his experience with Williams. Cory Redding looks like an interesting name, who could provide good value at he position. Interesting that there is no mention at all about Dockery on the list. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotomacSkinsFan Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 the only guys i like on that list are steinbach and clements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry wilburn Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hmmmm.... Looks like Clements will be Redskin, AND with the agreement he has w/ Buffalo to not apply the franchise tag, the Redskins will have to be VERY creative if they are going to give up their customary package of three draft picks.

Rex Tomb Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I don't know if we need a LB necessarily. What if we moved Rocky McIntosh to MLB and Marshall out to WLB? Would that suit our defense better? I think Rocky would be great at the Mike position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL please God! I hope we don't overcompensate to get him like we did for Lloyd or Portis. Portis could have and should've been a man-up trade, no draft pick involved. Sigh...our F.O. is terrible.

Widget_5 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 The players I like; • CB Nate Clements (Buffalo) • WLB Lance Briggs (Chicago) or • WLB Cato June (Indianapolis) • OG Kris Dielman (San Diego) and if we have the money it would be good to try for • SLB Adalius Thomas (Baltimore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin11 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I vote for Clemons and build up in the draft for a good MLB. ANd maybe a OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Made Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 That's a nice list. I did not know that Roderick Hood was a free agent. Now that's an interesting name and the perfect size (5'11'' 196lbs) CB that Williams' defense likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phat43matt Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 i would pick Ahman Green, and maybe Chris Simms. We need to get rid of betts real bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasRocks!! Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 hahaha...where is all the money coming from for this FA? You all have so much work to do in terms of the cap if you expect to be able to fit even 2 of these guys on the team. Those large signing bonuses and $31 million dollar contracts you hand out to 3rd receivers doesnt leave a lot of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those large signing bonuses and $31 million dollar contracts you hand out to 3rd receivers doesnt leave a lot of room. Those "big contracts", so to speak, don't have a large cap impact until a few seasons later. At that time, the deal would either be redone, or the guy would be let go. As for our cap situation, a lot of dead cap space will be coming off the books. Also, there are guys we can cut to save on cap space, and others where deals can be reworked. I don't think cap space will be an issue. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the burgundy and gold Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 thats a pretty weak class. Briggs and June and maybe Clements are the top players in that class. Briggs would be great to have although i doubt we'll get him. Clements is very realistic for us to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason ok the "big contracts" i am talking about also include this big signing bonuses which is garaunteed money. You release a player before that is paid off then you still owe him the money and it counts as a cap penalty which goes against the cap. so you either keep this players with the crazy signing bonuses for example, AA or you release them and take the hit.

DallasRocks!! Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 another thing is that these guys "we can cut to make space" usually turn out to be players who actually are helping the team. Like Pierce, you let him go cause you didnt want to meet the money he was demanding in FA. So you let one of your contributors go and leave a hole just to take another player. So you gain one player just to lose another player which leaves another hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas gets on a roll and like clockwork - their know it all fans come out of their holes and start running their mouths about this, that and the other thing.

It's interesting you were no where to be seen last year, even though you've been "coming here for a long time" or you weren't here after the 22-19 miracle, even though you were "coming here for a long time" Just admit it - you're like 98% of the other Cowboys fans that post here - you're here to rub Skins fans nose in the dirt. And when the Cowboys start to lose again - you'll disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

six4g Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I think: CB Nate Clements (Buffalo) is a no brainer considering Rogers performance and Springs' age and injury potential, not to mention that he's a Williams guy. He's gonna coast though!!!!! OG Kris Dielman (San Diego): we need O-line depth and he may come at a reasonable price. DE/DT Cory Redding (Detroit): If he only averaged 4.5 sacks a year he's already outplaying all of our DE's. Don't think this guy will break us; matter of fact he should come cheap. These signings along with Rocky starting next year and PP coming back from injury along with a safety in the draft should help us tremendously. Now if we could somehow also get Calvin Johnson from Georgia Tech in the draft.............................................SWeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Portis could have and should've been a man-up trade, no draft pick involved. Sigh...our F.O. is terrible. We were going to lose Champ, or Franchise him and lose other starters. We got Portis for a third rounder & and we got to keep our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
