Redskins Free Agency 2017

[skinsdad62]

Quick question, is this our FA thread as well for free agency? Just curious so I know what to check while at work.

Thanks!

yes it is

yes it is

So we can have a verbal agreement with players in less than 3 hours correct?

 

[Breed]

He's played in more games than Alshon Jeffery over the last 3 years. and he isn't a one trick pony. 10 - 12 mill a year is too much jack though imo.

 

[Skin'EmAll]

There are Garcon and Jackson clones in this draft, almost exact size and skill sets. Specifically from Michigan and Washington University. As long as they can keep single coverage on Crowder and Reed, mission accomplished.
No disrespect to our starting WRs, but they can be replaced. Doctson is also 6'2 with a 41" vert

Brandon Williams would be an outstanding acquisition imo. I think Campbell will be a real good one.

 

[Ruzious]

Hey, old friend Lorenzo Alexander had 13 sacks at age 33 last season. (Yes, he should still be a Skin, but that's another issue). If he can do that, Calais "6'8" Stud" Campbell can play a few more Pro Bowl caliber years. And Campbell's versatility is a huge plus. His length can bother a QB as much as a sack can.

 

[Breed]

Yep, plaus I've read CC is a great locker room guy, good with youngsters and a natural leader. None of those attributes would negatively impact the Skins.

DJ just isn't worth that and I doubt he gets it.

I hope not. We don't have the cap space to give a good chunk of it to him.

 

[duke1861]

I wonder why we haven't cut anyone yet? Clearly, some players aren't coming back but I wonder why they haven't been released yet. We can free up at least 17 million by making no-brainer decisions.

 

[duke1861]

I am kinda nervous as I think we will find a way to screw up this offseason. I just want smart contracts for healthy, younger and talented players. We need to bring in at least 5 starters via free agency and the draft can do the rest.

We have plenty of cap space however his age bugs me too much

I'd rather sign Hankins and Logan.
