Some of you haters are acting like we signed him for 5 years,and gave him 20 mill signing bonus.

I’m sure they will draft a guy to compete with him and the others in training camp,in the 3rd-6rd.

All the “DREAM TEAM” comments are just asinine.

ok clearly since the skins haven’t even touched the OL in FA… we are going to draft nothing but OL (rounds 3-7) next month?
—————————————
The Skins need a starting RT and backup C/G.
Willie Smith and Jammal Brown will be the backup OT’s and Maurice Hurt played well as a backup G. They need to groom a young C to replace Montgomery in 2013 (David Molk or Philip Blake or Ben Jones).

I don’t think the Redskins O-Line is as bad as everybody says it is, I think Rex and Beck just made it look that way. Clearly, the line’s run blocking was excellent. Regardless, I don’t expect Brown back at all. I think the Skins will definitely sign Eric Winston out of Houston or Demetrius Bell from Buffalo(one of the most talented and least discussed free agency prospects out there). Hurt is a solid back up at guard. Willie Smith is a great back up tackle and should get better with experience. He will never be a starter at tackle in the NFL, but I fully expect him to be able to challenge for a starting guard spot at some point in the near future. Additionally, Montgomery is signed through 2016, not 2013. What I’m getting at here is that, apart from letting Brown walk and signing a new Right Tackle I don’t think that O-Line should be a major priority for the Redskins at this juncture. That said, I do really like Nate Potter out of Boise State in the draft. He is an extremely athletic prototypical Shanahan lineman who I’m sure Shanny has been drooling over since he was a freshman.

But what you have to keep in mind for a team like the Redskins is that they are woefully think at CB and Safety. Right now, they need to bring in bodies not just to start and be a superstar but to come in and compete with the skeleton crew that’s currently on the roster now. Some of these guys may not even be starters; they may be depth.

In that regard, its better that the Redskins are doing something to fill holes vs. sitting back and rolling with guys that may or may not work out, with little or no depth behind them.

I can understand using the first 2 names in a joke comment, but Martellus Bennett too? Please.

The Washington Redskins:

Where washed up free agents march towards their career gallows.

But hey, at least they get overpaid for it!

BAD DREAM TEAM!

It’s called signing veteran free agents cheaply for depth. Every team does it, it’s part of football. Yet, when the Redskins do it, it’s Snyder trying to buy himself a championship. If the Redskins had picked up Mario Williams for league minimum, people would have called it the worst free agency move of all time. Just because Snyder made some terrible moves back in 2001 doesn’t mean everything the Redskins ever do til the end of time will be terrible.

As for that idot calling a bad dream team, the skins are past that. They no longer have a front office that entertains overpaying on veterans past their prime.
