This free agent period is going to be sticker shock with how much guys are getting. It's going to be worse than usual. From now until the end of the first week of the free agency period, a high majority of these players will not live up to the contracts they get, yet owners keep throwing big money at these guys. I'd be okay with waiting until April to start making moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oraphus Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Problem is no TE is going to want to come and play for skins with a limited qb and few o weapons. I highly doubt skins can land hooper but hopeful. What’s interesting is that Seattle has 2 pretty good tes already and still felt the need to land Olsen. Tells you how important te are in today’s nfl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have cap space, and if we wait until April, we probably won't get anybody who is starting caliber at TE, CB, or Safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the other guy who replaced the starter in Seattle is a free agent I believe and is supposedly on the Skins radar. We'll get a TE, I have no doubt that RR and Turner will make that a priority either through the draft or in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradberry intrigues me bc of his success under Rivera, and his success on the left side and dunbars success on the right side ( or vice versa, and this is assuming Dunbar stays long term). Bradberrys relatively short resume maybe brings his price tag down from insane level just to a little ridiculous but not crippling level. That's probably the best we can hope for for a March signing of a quality player. Nobody is getting a bargain in march, and even living up to the contract is not likely. And I'm hoping Tre Boston sits on the free agent market like he has in the past. It seems like teams are shying away from him for whatever reason, but he has shown success under Rivera and is a great complement to LC. But hopefully the fact that the Redskins didn't go overboard with the Olsen offer is a sign that they will have a controlled approach in free agency. This is assuming that the Redskins were outbid and it wasn't just Olsen wanting to go to a team that he perceived has a better shot at a title.

Dissly is a 4th round draft choice who has managed to stay healthy for 10 games and 30 catches in his first two years. Hollister is a journeyman who exploded for a career year of 41 catches at 8.5 ypc. The phrase "pretty good" is fairly meaningless. But even so, you seem to be abusing it.

Maybe we have a different understanding of what pretty good is in American football. Dissly was a stud when on the field. Why does it matter what rd he got drafted in? Hollister had a very good year as well. Olsen is an over the hill frequently inj player so not sure Seattle is gaining much other then hoping at least one stays healthy.

Problem is that Dissly was barely on the field the past two years with horrible career threatening injuries. Additionally, he rarely caught many passes. They just happened to be in the endzone, because Russell Wilson. Hollister is a jag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I would have liked an Olsen signing, but am not really upset with him going elsewhere. At his stage, it makes more sense for him to sign with a contender. Warning: The paragraph below is overly rosey and looking at a what if where things work out. Cynics should stop reading here. I do think that the Redskins are a lot more interesting weapon-wise than their rep would lead people to believe. Simms is a playmaker who really improved. McLauren looks to be exceptional. Adrian Peterson is still pretty good. Now, I'd agree with people who say that this team's weapons are still more about potential than certainty, but I actually like a lot of the pieces we saw on the field last year. Besides, if Haskins, McLauren, Simms, Harmon, Guice, and Love all wound up becoming a productive corp... we'd be in for a really great ride. This team (minus tight end and questions on the o line) looks to be set up if we have the right coaches and play callers to back them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This free agent period is going to be sticker shock with how much guys are getting. Almost certainly true. But I'd rather the team spend a few extra million for a guy like Henry or Hooper. Even if Olsen stays healthy and productive in 2020 (big ifs, IMO), he's probably gone in 2021. So hopefully this helps the Skins achieve that.

Est.1974 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Would have liked Olsen in, thought 5/6mil p/y was a fair price, but overall pleased he hasn’t signed here on a one year deal, I’d have wanted a couple of years to make it more logical/worthwhile here.
