Exciting free agent signings?

[beaves]

It was'nt so long ago that we were being extremely agressive in the free agency market, very excited about the talent coming on board.
Have the more celebrated signings lived up to their potential, or should we have resigned players like Ryan Clark and Walt Harris?

[Burgold]

Well, this year, clearly we should have gone for Ryan Clark and kept Walt Harris. Last year, I was glad to have obtained Santana Moss and a number of the other free agents.

Totally agree on Clark and Harris, If we can could see it, why didn't Greg Williams?

Redo of Last Years FA:

Get ARE: but don't pay him quite as much
Resign Clark
Don't Trade for Lloyd
Don't Sign Arch
Don't Sign Fauria
Don't Trade for Duckett
Resign Harris
Resign Robert Royal
Get Carter: but don't pay him quite as much (I think he is going to work out)

[kylecoursey]

I dont think ARE would have settled for anything less

We see it now because it's in hindsight.

Last year Walt Harris was considered by most here to be a complete bust.

Hindsight is amazing though. I agree with this list pretty much, but I would not have resigned Robert Royal, Walt Harris, or Warrick Holdman last year. I was rooting for Clark, but I could understand the wish to upgrade. The Duckett move made sense if they really thought we were on a Superbowl run. I think they had visions of the KC offense with the last two year's Redskins D. That was what we were all hoping/wanting to see.

You may be right, but of course that was what his agent wanted the Redskins to think.....our FO never bids for players in a fashion where there is any chance they would say no....they need to make good solid offers, but leave open the posibility that the player may choose another team....

carter and are arent busts i want us to trade arch to the bears for a 2nd round pick and next year just sign clements and get two starters in the draft

[FrFan]

Please no more FA busts, we need real Redskins, we need draft picks.

exactly.

You guys ought to watch it in messing with D Snyder. He looks like he's in pretty darned good shape in the picture above and look how he's smiling while taking that hit... like it's nothing.

How soon everyone forgets...I dont care if hes having the greatest season in the history of cornerbacks in SF(which hes not), the fact is he was TERRIBLE with us. He was what Carlos Rogers is today, toast. Think back to the 1st Tampa game, he got beat, badly I might add, for i believe 3 TD's. That guy was worthless. Come on guys, just because the office has made a couple bad decisions this year, dont act like Harris was one of them. Hindsight is always 20/20.

How has Carlos played of late? Plus just because you are getting a lot picks doesn't mean you're a great Cornerback. Terrell Buckley use to do that all day and get burned all day.
