pjfootballer Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Pick him up on the way back from San Diego! Don't forget to stop in Nashville. Only 3 1/2 hours to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We need to make Winston a Skin quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pick6 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I really hope this is the first guy we locked up today. It would be a huge upgrade to the Oline and we could use the draft to get depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolkskins Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Man this would be a crucial signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 A couple of things... It doesn't sound like he's in any hurry to sign: "Unless somebody blows my socks off (with an offer), I won’t be in a rush to sign. I definitely want to be in a good situation like we had here.” Still, he seems like an ideal fit. But he'll be costly. Can we afford him, given the cap uncertainty right now?

I don't really see how a starting spot with a ZBS team that runs almost exactly the same offense that he ran in Houston (with the same OC) couldn't be anything but a "good situation" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T.

I'm just saying it sounds to me like he's going to take his time before signing with anybody. He's been dumped and it stung... a LOT. This sounds like a man scorned: “Basically, they told me they were up against it (the salary cap) and didn’t want to insult me by asking me to take a pay cut. “They said they hated to do it and maybe we could work something out down the road, but, well, I’m just stunned. I didn’t want to leave. This just sucks.” And now he wants teams to wine and dine him a little bit, make him feel wanted, boost his ego. So I'm guessing he'll shop himself around. That's my take, anyway...

ddub52 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 PLEASE get this guy Shanallen. Winston, a guard and/or center in the draft and we will be set up front. Just read that Winston has visits lined up with Dolphins, Chiefs, Rams, per league source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Houston, Eric Winston's former home with the Texans, is only 180 miles from Waco, home of Baylor University. In Texas, that's little more than a long commute. So I'm sure that Winston was able to closely follow RG3's amazing college career. Maybe that will help sway him to DC if it comes down to decision time between the Redskins and another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston really wasn't part of the equation. Austin, most deifnitely. Dallas, some. Not really Houston though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWinzit Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 http://www.rotoworld.com/sports/nfl/football The Miami Herald reports free agent Eric Winston is looking to become the "highest-paid right tackle in the NFL." That could winnow his list of suitors considerably, but still only 28 and coming off another big season, it's not an unachievable goal. He's set to meet with the Ravens, Rams, Chiefs and Lions after visiting the Dolphins on Wednesday. Source: Miami Herald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I don't see why/how the redskins aren't on this list. Time to get aggressive FO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stophovr6 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I don't see why/how the redskins aren't on this list. Time to get aggressive FO! This FO isn't in the habit of paying the top money anymore. More in the habit of looking for guys that want to play and be a part of the team.
