Time to re-sign all our free agents and put the money there and forget the Albert Wilsons of the world lol Not knowing what I'm talking about, I remember a lot of people sort of ho hum about the Pierre Garcon signing. They figured he was a second or third banana that only looked good at all because of Peyton Manning. Sometimes, it's good to look at the second tier receiver ready to break out if he just got the opportunities not available on his former team.

He's been nicked up a bit too...but I think he has lost a step. Just a slot WR now. Good dude and still decent WR but I don't know if he fits in DC. Spot on observation. Happened to have him on my fantasy team his first three years and just manged to keep track of him. I don't think at this point he's better than Crowder. Even taking into consideration the injuries he still had Rodgers throwing him the ball and Jordy on the outside. Adams as of late. That's enough talent outside that he should have been able to put up better numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Moncrief is a real sleeper FA option too. Injury issues but young and speedy and didn’t have a 100% Luck to throw to him last 1+ seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markmills67 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I can't believe how much the Redskins have changed in how they plan for free agency, we have gone from knowing who we were signing at the pro-bowl (London Fletcher, etc,) to being 2 weeks before FA and still not even any rumours of any possible signings, a breath of fresh air in my opinion.

fordranger76 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I'm loving the approach of letting their players test the market. None of our guys are studs but can be contributors. Good way to see if they are going to get overpaid or in some cases get way less than they thought they were worth. I just hope we don't do the opposite and overpay for someone else's trash. Time will tell very shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he has flaws in the passing game, but he’s a tackling machime: something the rest of the defense doesn’t do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if Zach Brown is dead set on 10M and free agency, and the team is certain he won’t get it - it’s fine to let him find out for himself. But they also have to foster a positive relationship with his agent to assure that if all things are equal $ wise, he will choose Washington.

I think the difficult part is explaining to him that you want him back without offending him by not offering him top 3 ILB money. By telling him he can test free agency, you are essentially telling him we don’t know what your worth, but it’s not 10 mil. With how competitive these guys are, I could see how he could very easily be offended by that and jump ship if given another offer rather than letting us match it. Keeping that positive relationship is probably very difficult in these situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Like every other industry, pro football is now recognized as a business. Loyality from management to players and now players to management is a thing of the past. Players in free agency are going to make decisions that are best for them.

Renegade7 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Zach Brown hits free agency, he's not coming back. This will be about money, and he's worth it. We're becoming cheap, and that's not always a good thing. That's a hole we don't need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 http://www.nbcsports.com/washington/redskins/news-notes-and-observations-3-days-nfl-scouting-combine?utm_content=buffer00326&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer With Fuller gone, some speculated Bashaud Breeland might be back with the Redskins. Breeland will hit free agency on March 14th, but don't expect the Washington front office to be aggressive in re-signing him. Expectation here is the same as it was in December: Breeland plays elsewhere in 2018. Teams are interested and excited about Trent Murphy and Junior Galette. Green Bay particularly wants to beef up their pass rush, and the Packers have been clear they want to be a player in free agency. http://www.espn.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/35785/is-bruce-allens-seat-hot-his-record-suggests-it-should-be Keim: Most of the time I think they’d work through the draft just because it would enable them to spend elsewhere -- and it’s a deep draft at running back. They’re well aware of that. But there are intriguing free agent options. I’ve dropped his name before, but I know how much they like Isaiah Crowell, a guy who can help in the pass game as well. Jay Gruden mentioned wanting a "banger." Crowell runs with good power and has some explosiveness. I don’t know if they’ll pursue him -- would they want to spend, say, $5 million per year to sign him? He's available and would help, but with a good running back group in the draft, the question comes down to cost. And there's another twist in there: picking a running back at 13 would be too high (Saquon Barkley will be long gone), but there could be a run on backs before they pick again in the second round.

Skinsinparadise Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I meant to post this in the draft thread but guess relevant too to FA as for RB. Wonder if this is just him guessing based on Doug's interview Charlie Campbell @DraftCampbell 2h2 hours ago More Sources with the Redskins think they are in a good position to trade down in the first round. They also like a group of running backs in the second round http://www.walterfootball.com/NFLHotPress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method man Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The reason I'd wait out the market on ZB if I were the Skins is that this FA class is fairly deep at ILB. Avery Williamson and Demario Davis could both be long term above average starters. Jerrell Freeman and Derrick Johnson could both give us short term help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who didn't want him still won't, and the offers will probably be the same plus the seasonal inflation that always happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some really tough decisions to make though. We hope you’ll give us a chance to match any offer you get on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was a free agent last year and had to settle on a 1 year prove it deal with us. I believe it was a good marriage, where both appreciate each other. He is one heckuva tackling machine but he does have some holes in his game. I don't believe that anyone will offer him top 3 money, but I feel that a long term 3-4 year top 7 deal (5-7m/yr) would be a good fit for all involved.

Yeah...feel like Tampa (Florida benefit) and the fact he wants to stay in the South will be the major pull. Now Poe goes within the division to face the Falcons. Think it's a done deal. Still feel Bennie Logan is the best fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I just read Standig's article in their new subscription based thing. 2 nuggets that stood out. Redskins sniffing and have interest in Jarvis Landry but aren't the front runner for him. They are monitoring the potential market for Paul Richardson. As for the word "monitoring" I hope that doesn't mean bargain sniffing. In concept, bargains are cool but as many purport this is a thin FA crop for WR and I don't want them picking through the scraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
