I'd like to bring back Galette because he was gaining his explosiveness back. We drafted and developed Smith so I don't expect these dumb ****s to re-sign him. Smith is on the 3rd year of a 4 year rookie deal, is he not? I think the beat guys have said the Skins are set to re-sign him to a big extension soon and it's a priority. You just can't pay your back-up players $7-10m a year (what Murphy got). Maybe Galette will take less. But this is why you have to draf and develop year after year and why, when we draft a Josh Doctson when we conceivably dont need an impact WR right away, it's important to factor in the long-term im0lications. And this is also why having draft picks and focusing on the draft > FA is so important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much to be heard from what's going on with these guys. Remember Poe and Logan signed 1 year prove it deals last year. Late in FA too. Yeah part of the reason why I am chilled is that. I want one of those DTs preferably Richardson. I am under no illusion that the Redskins arguably lost more guys than any team I can think of right now -- it was actually just talked about a little while ago on the NFL Network with someone going something to the effect of wow the Redskins lost a lot of guys. But if all they do is sign Richardson and Mathieu, they have made up that ground and more IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Sounds like standard free agency speak to me. Pairing with Swearinger and Norman would have to have some attraction to the Badger. But I know we love Nicholson a lot so it probably isnt going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mathieu expects to get more than his previous deal of $12.5/yr and is truly "concerned about winning" then he won't be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd play nickel CB so he'd always be on the field. So our secondary would presumably be Norman - Mathieu - Nicholson - Swearinger - Moreau ... and he'd be insurance against Nicholson getting hurt. Not to mention that, as of now, we'd still have Cravens on the roster. The Badger would really allow you to e flexible and possibly just keep 4 Safeties since he can play safety and nickel back.

Since 2000, the redskins have won 7 games or more 10 times. The other 8 were 6 wins or less. So this team has had plenty of lousy years where they've been in position for high picks. Far too many, I'd contend. ...and some people think Im a pessimist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 This is the most Ive ever seen other teams want Skins players. At this point we are losing: Cousins Breeland Murphy Long Paul Grant With the possibility of other teams picking up: Pryor Brown Galette Lauvao Compton If we are smart and only pick up about 3-4 bigger FAs, we will get 3-4 Comp picks from the looks of it.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Strange how fast Alex Smith arrived in DC, considering the trade wasn’t “official” until 16 minutes ago ? im guessing he flew in today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFi Skins Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 FIRE IT UP Now that the new league year is upon us and no trade has materialized, Dolphins are releasing DT Ndamukong Suh, per source. He will be free to sign with another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Imagine how pumped we'd be about what looks to be a little re-tooling effort if we hadn't made the Alex Smith trade, and still had Fuller and that 3rd. We'd be happily counting our comp picks and looking to next year's QB class if no one falls to 13. Instead we're in this weird artificial window where we feel like we have make splashes and win games, even though we suck, because Bruce was allowed to attempt to go into emergency job saving mode. I would have been fine letting Cousins leave and winning 4 games this year with McCoy or something (assuming a rookie QB didn't fall to us) and looking yo next year. But this organization would never do that and instead we get half measures and desperation...but not enough competence to go full win-now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswerdlw Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Are all the teams supposed to be under the cap at this hour? I would think that Philly would have had to cut more players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think so with Grant, either, but Paul seems far more unlikely. I don't think he'd be signing this quick unless it was a decent deal. And he's likely to be their number 2 TE, looking at what they have. Primary backups make good money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
