2013 FA Thread (Updates on OP) New: Merling, Brace, Pashos, Trueblood, EJBig, Tapp, White, Williams, MATTHEWS; Re-up: Rex, Hall, Davis, Paulsen, DY, RJax, Lich, Sundberg, Baker, Sav, Golston, Kehl, Polumbus; Paycuts: Carriker, Moss, BMeri, J. Wilson

[DC9]

Link to original OP (post 3577): http://www.extremeskins.com/showthre...-Brace/page239

HOW IT WORKS:


- Signings - When we start signing players, I will update the OP with a source (a link, tweet, columnist, insider, etc) as well as the details of the contract (monies and length)

Just like last year and the previous years, this thread will only be as successful as everyone contributing. Last year, a lot of the hard hitters on here made this some of the most fun I've ever had on this board and it was great. Without question we had the top Redskins database on the internet and a lot of folks were referencing it in the media.

If you post anything as far as signings or rumors, please post a source (a link, tweet, columnist, insider, etc). I will type the post number next to the signing in the OP so that you can check reactions (as this worked out well last year).

Let me know if you guys have any suggestions to make this a better thread this season.

[Rex Tomb]

When does FA begin?

[DC9]

When does FA begin?

March 12, 2013

[afkidd]

isn't cromartie on the eagles?

[justice98]

That UFA list is pretty terrible. If we didn't have the cap situation, I'd let all of 'em go except for Alexander and Rob Jackson.

[afkidd]

you wouldn't look at keeping davis? he's pretty stellar.

not to mention depth at the minimum.

[DC9]

isn't cromartie on the eagles?

Yes! Thanks. I got on a bit of a KC roll there, haha.

[S.T.real,lights,out]

I think my top targets would be

1. Dashon Goldson / William Moore / Jairus Byrd if we could get one of these guys and fill the other spot with a draft pick i would be pretty happy.
2. I like DRC a lot at CB (depending of price)
3. If we are going to break the bank for one guy i would want it to be Clady or Wallace

[f_trizzy]

I think my top targets would be

1. Dashon Goldson

Just the other day my cousin (Miami fan) and I were going over the FA safeties and I saw Goldson's name on the list. Immediately I said I hoped we'd target him but I'm not sure if we can make it work $ wise.

[#98QBKiller]

3. If we are going to break the bank for one guy i would want it to be Clady or Wallace

Do you mean Mike Wallace? If so, I think we're fine without him. The way he held out of training camp and OTAs this year because he felt he was worth more money, shows to me that he's the kind of player we can do without.

[sableholic]

I thought Rob Jackson was a RFA?

Edit yea he is heres a link:

Nice call!

3. If we are going to break the bank for one guy i would want it to be Clady

If we were able to land Clady... man....

You're right. Is he the only one?

[JMUSkins]

D Hall is willing to renegotiate his contract to stay in DC. I say we go for it to clear up cap space... looks like we'll need it.

---------- Post added January-8th-2013 at 12:09 PM ----------

I'm looking at Chris Houston and Tracy Porter before Rodgers-Cromartie... he's extremely overrated.

[DogofWar1]

AWWWWW YEAAAHHH!

Let's get this party started!

Three things that might be good to put in the op, and other places as we go along would be age, injury history, and previous contracts (or for the case of guys coming off rookie contracts, expected contract requirements).
