It might be faster to just write a post on the big-name free agents the Redskins won’t go after.
Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the Redskins will be “among those” in the bidding for Darren Sproles. Washington also reportedly wants Julius Peppers.
A player being tied to the Redskins will help an agent drive a player’s price up, so some skepticism is warranted when their interest is floated. Then again, Washington really does go after most top names.
Washington needs some explosive talent on offense in any form, and Mike Shanahan watched Sproles up close in the AFC West for years.
If Sproles did arrive, we wonder how Clinton Portis would embrace the move. As long as Portis problem heeds the message of Lavar Arrington’s epic rant, it shouldn’t be a problem.
