addicted Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 I agree with the general sentiment of your post but I don't think it's a stretch or media invention to say our QB situation is unsettled. I think that's putting it mildly. I think its settled just how and when we dump McNabb is the question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think its settled just how and when we dump McNabb is the question Yeah but then who replaces him. Grossman is likely but that's not a thought to set the pulse racing, at least not in a good way. Beck? Do t see it personally. A rookie? Non of the top three or four prospects are ready to start from day one in my view and I think Gabbert and Newton are both probably off the board when we pick. Not much in the free agent market is likely to be better than Grossman. Yeah, I think unsettled is mild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecardiacrll Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 No one is going to sign anyone until the CBA situation gets worked out. Bingo....Your not allowed to sign free agents until theres a new CBA agreed upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much in the free agent market is likely to be better than Grossman.Yeah, I think unsettled is mild. Welcome to a rebuild. This is settled but not a fact so we are talking about what we expect. What I expect is McNabb isn't our QB of the future and this isn't a team on the verge of the Superbowl. What teams like ours do is find a QB who can play until the rookie we choose to take over the franchise is ready. The "excitement factor" matters not. A few years ago under Gibbs we were like this and used Brunell while Campbell got ready. This time around we will use Grossman while the rookie gets ready. The only way I see this not happening is if the experts decide none of the QB's are worth this and delay this another year. Even if that happens financially we would be asinine to keep McNabb another season because that ensures he's going to cost us millions and at 35 he's not worth that to the ball club who's going to spend millions to get a QB of the future the next season. How much money do you think we can dump in this one position on two players? And if they planned to keep him next year why did they try out the Grossman experience? To me this is a done deal, McNabb's on the way out ---------- Post added January-19th-2011 at 06:19 PM ---------- Bingo....Your not allowed to sign free agents until theres a new CBA agreed upon. Even your own players? I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthor99 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Besides Moss I don't see a reason to bring any of those guys back. If I have to watch McIntosh for another season I think I might puke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 No urgency here. If it is a rebuild truly hope they don't make any drastic plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worstSeat Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I just think the owners see no point in giving new contracts based on the old CBA. They have no clue if the player pool percentages decrease, if there is a rookie cap for larger cash going to Vets. They have no idea how to structure these contracts, so they are going to wait until they have a new direction of how the CBA will look like. That doesn't work -- it's not like everyone's contract ended at the end of this season. Brady signed a giant deal with only a year in front of the new CBA. The Colts are talking to Manning now. I think the issue isn't just the unknown of the CBA but that there's really no crucial piece of the Skins' future to be resigned right now. If there was, they'd be working on getting them signed. No lynchpins, that is, EXCEPT LOS MANOS DE PIEDRA. Sign Los, Bruce. Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I considered this but Seattle would definitely disagree...On January 3rd they re-signed Mike Williams to a 3 year deal On January 14th they re-signed Ben Obomanu to a 3 year deal Both WR's were set to become Free Agents on March 1st. Edit...remember the question isn't why aren't we signing other teams players, it's why aren't we signing our own? Even so, there's not a lot of activity going on league wide. It's random signings sprinkled here and there. I would imagine most teams are playing it cool for the timebeing, feeling the situation out.

I think we're okay with all of those guys leaving. I could see us potentially matching an offer on Moss and Grossman knows that his best chance to start is here in DC, so I don't see him running away. Jammal Brown is a little odd, but this just gives more weight to the idea that we're getting Ryan Harris from the Broncos for RT. Amazing how bad last offseason might look if we gave away a second and two thirds for players that spent a year on the team. I'd like to see Moss and Grossman back before the 4th... but I don't expect anything to happen until the real FA period begins and these guys start talking to other teams.

GaryGreenMonk Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 i would guess we haven't signed Grossman because we don't know if we'll be stuck with McNabb next year or not. Obviously Grossman's check will look bigger if he's heading into next season as the favorite for starter rather than back up to McNabb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HigSkin Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Why commit to income over the next few months with no certainty in the CBA? It's not like guys we might want to keep can sign with anybody, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
