Fanspeak: Redskins Free Agents

1- Free agency started real boring for the Redskins.  But that is not a problem with most.  And some steam picked up last night & this morning.           I still think the Redskins will add a few guys to their roster but it’s not gonna be like the last fifteen years.  … More »

The Redskins have only signed defensive lineman Stephen Paea so far in free agency and appear to be taking a fairly measured approach. Here is a look at some free agent options that might make sense for the Redskins. Today I will focus on offensive line, defensive line and pass rusher options. I’ll look at … More »

By John Manuel What I like. 1- I did like the signing of Jason Hatcher to improve the defensive line play. There was an obvious need here to help add pressure to opposing quarterbacks. Since both outside linebackers are set in stone the Redskins needed to get help up front. Hatcher forced quarterbacks to hurry … More »

The Redskins entered the offseason with their top defensive player, OLB Brian Orakpo, poised to hit unrestricted free agency, and two other solid starters CB DeAngelo Hall (who was coming off his best season) and ILB Perry Riley set to join him.

While Jackson has been a good player for the Browns he was coming off a down season, … More »

The Redskins clearly have a lot of work to do this offseason after finishing last year 3-13 and firing coach Mike Shanahan. They made their first real move of the offseason yesterday by re-signing CB DeAngelo Hall to a reported 4 year $17 million deal. Now the complete terms of the deal are not known … More »

Part 1 | Part 2 3. Larry Grant– -The Redskins are counting on London Fletcher to give them one more season, but the reality is that could be a lot to ask. Fletcher struggled mightily in the first 9 games of the season and was one of the bigger weak points in most of the Redskins losses … More »
