Harry J Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 With Chad and Willie getting a chance to smooze players during the Probowl, what "shutdown" corner would fit in best? I understand many of these players are restricted but so wasn't Spikes last year. I think we are willing to spend the money and getting a free agent corner would allow us to focus our draft to D line or LB. So who do you suggest making a run after?

CJBestInAFC Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Don't know if they will be able to resign Bailey if they sign Brunel. Bailey could possibly be on the Bengals. With Gibbs being an offensive coach, and the fact that the Redskins have an unbelievable amount of FA's this year, and Bailey has said that he wouldn't mind playing for Lewis again could play into the Bengals favor. I have a list of Redskins FA:LS Ethan Albright UF Signed Thru 2003 CB Champ Bailey UF Signed Thru 2003 DT Martin Chase UF Signed Thru 2003 OL Lennie Friedman UF Signed Thru 2003 DT Bernard Holsey UF Signed Thru 2003 LB Orantes Grant UF Signed Thru 2003 WR Patrick Johnson UF Signed Thru 2003 LB Kevin Mitchell UF Signed Thru 2003 S David Terrell UF Signed Thru 2003 DL Peppi Zellner UF Signed Thru 2003 OL Wilbert Brown RF Signed Thru 2003 S Todd Frantz RF Signed Thru 2003 FB Bryan Johnson RF Signed Thru 2003 Wr Darnerien McCants RF Signed Thru 2003 S Infeanyi Ohalate RF Signed Thru 2003 LB Antonio Pierce RF Signed Thru 2003 CB Bruce Branch EF Signed Thru 2003 DE Ladarius Jackson EF Signed Thru 2003 LB Lemar Marshall EF Signed Thru 2003 I think with this many positions that have to be signed is a considerable amount don't you agree?

smizzy Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Champ, Champ, Champ, Champ, Champ, Champ, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey!!!!!!!!! Bailey's franchise price escalatesBy Jody FoldesyTHE WASHINGTON TIMESHOUSTON — It will cost the Washington Redskins a bit more than expected to place the franchise tag on cornerback Champ Bailey — about $6.8 million, according to figures recently released by the NFL Players Association. Estimates for Bailey's tag had been a little more than $6 million, based on the 2002 cornerback franchise figure of $5.962 million. The tag's value is calculated by averaging the cap figures of the five highest-paid players at each position. If the Redskins cannot agree to a long-term deal with Bailey in coming weeks, they will retain his rights with the tag — a qualifying one-year, $6.801 million offer. The tag must be applied between Feb. 10 and 24. Cornerback carries the fourth-richest franchise tag. Quarterback ($9.958 million), wide receiver ($7.229 million) and offensive line ($7.021 million) are higher. If tagged, Bailey's options in the free agent market would be severely limited. He could sign an offer sheet with one other club, but if Washington declined to match the offer sheet, his new team would have to surrender a pair of first-round picks. Agent Jack Reale confirmed yesterday that there have been no further contract negotiations since Bailey rejected Washington's opening nine-year, $55 million offer in August. At the time, the sides paid lip service to restarting talks toward the end of the season. Washington instead used its remaining cap room on a nine-year, $68 million extension for linebacker LaVar Arrington. Arrington's extension gives the Redskins leeway against the salary cap to franchise Bailey. The club is less than $6 million below the projected $79 million cap, but it can create significant room by cutting veterans. In jeopardy are Bruce Smith, Lional Dalton, Jessie Armstead, Larry Moore, Byron Chamberlain, Trung Canidate and Bryan Barker. A negative effect of Arrington's extension, though, is that it set a floor for Bailey's negotiations. Although the merits of Arrington's contract have been questioned extensively in league circles, it is richer than the take it or leave it proposal Washington made to Bailey last summer. Next week Bailey will play in his fourth Pro Bowl, Arrington his third. Reale added that one of his clients, punter David Leaverton, a late entry into the punting competition Barker won in 2003 training camp, recently re-signed with the Redskins.

Kirkendall Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I still think Ahmed Plummer is the best option. He's good, maybe not the Champ Bailey or McCallister, but he's WAY better than what we have now and it won't tie up the salary allowing us to put funds into other areas.

chrishcovga Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Champ is tooooooo expensive, ! Vincent too old. Taylor not as good as Vincent. and Winfield's play is being overrated by what his front 7 did for him. Winfield has yet to play like the playmaker he was at Ohio St. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I second both of Kirk's last 2 posts. Tho as I've noted elsewhere there may also be RFA options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntpou Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 We are looking at V.Wolfolk, K.Udez, C.Gamble, DJ.Williamsin this year's draft. assuming we get A solid CB C.Bailey, A.Winfield or A.Plummer. I would love to see us add 1st RD K.Udez DE 2nd RD D.Thomas MLB ( Auburn ) Sign 1 of the 3 CB listed CB are now T.James, A.Winfield, D.WeathersbyLB are now B.Simmions OLB, D.Thomas MLB K.Hardy OLBDE are now J.Smith & K.UdezThis set up helps against the run, pass rush & coverage in secondary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJBestInAFC Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Do you resign both Becket and Roman at the safety position. I think maybe drafting S like Sean Jones somewhere in the draft to play for the Bengals. What about our oline problem. Need to get another G and C somewhere.B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishcovga Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I think you tender them offers, Beckett gets the better money... and try your luck with some of these guys in the draft like Matt Ware from Ucla, Etric Pruitt,Madieu Williams,and maybe even a Rashaad Washingon to come in and play Strong Safety.

Need to get another G and C somewhere.B I would sign Becket but he needs to improve a little on his pass coverage. The guy can stop the run, which for the Bengals is a huge plus, but in 2003, he wasn't fast enough to recognize the deep pass. I agree about offering Roman a tender offer, however, he greatly improved last season and broke up some passes that had me screamin' "Hell YEA!". So if his play continues to improve, I'd give him another short term contract and evaluate afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsfan2 Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Champ is tooooooo expensive, ! Vincent too old. Taylor not as good as Vincent. and Winfield's play is being overrated by what his front 7 did for him. Winfield has yet to play like the playmaker he was at Ohio St.Agree about Bailey and Taylor.I don't know about Winfield though. He benefited form his front 7 no doubt, but he still had to be in coverage and postition himself to make the int's. He also brought a LOAD when he hit. One of the writers ... don't remember which one said that pound for pound, he was probably the best tackler on the Bills. I saw enough film of him on local broadcasts that I would have to agree. He's also got a great attitude. Local media usually don't talk to him because he's not one of the mouths that will give them something to write about. Winfield would be a great pick up. There's better out there, I won't argue that but he would be a definite upgrade for the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
