loyal2dagame Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 The Washington Post reports that the Redskins are expected to target Buffalo Bills linebacker London Fletcher-Baker and cornerback Nate Clements in free agency, according to multiple league sources who have spoken with team officials. more big market movement rumors for nate. this is also one of the few teams i've read about that may be interested in london.

SuperBills12 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Very credible actually. I have inside sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrite Gal Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 This part of why I beginning to think it is more likely that F-B is the guy who gets tagged. If not it simply creates a question of who we line up at MLB next year and as the best bet on our roster right now is moving Crowell and having a rookie fill that spot runs the risk that even a lofty #12 choice ends up producing like 4 of the 5 2002 NFL picks in a draft considered bereft of top 10 level picks at LB, it is really clear now that a lot of our strategy revolves around what we do at MLB.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Makes perfect sense, with the gregg williams connection and the $$ the Skins can spend. I have little doubt that Clements will end up in Washington. For Fletcher, it might be a matter of whether the Skins can land someone better. I have a gut feeling that Fletcher will land in New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyal2dagame Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 if fletcher does leave(and it appears there is a slim to none chance he stays) and we draft a lb in the first round, i think the writing would be on the wall for a spikes departure after next season. crowell and ellison did good to great jobs this past year, and if we end up with that beast of a linebacker (his name slipped my mind) in the first round, spikes salary and health make him very expendable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyal2dagame Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 patrick willis(boy did i have a brain fart) i've seen some draft boards with pw falling to 13 or 14. if we get our hands on him, there would be no appearant need for fletcher- or spikes for that matter besides the expierance they bring to the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBilliever Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 *Grabs bags of money and empties wallet* TAKE IT BOYS!!! JUST TAKE IT!!! HAVE THE MULLAH!!! JUST TAKE IT ALL!!!! That's my Redskins GM impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderswr80 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Skins are in salar cap hell right now.......if they signed either one they will be in trouble. Have they not learned big names and contracts dont get it done! Skins are an NFC pro bowl team basically....and they suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Let Fletcher go, I'd rather trade down, pick up a LB and multiple picks and fill some other needs thru free agency. It would be huge if this McCargo move were to pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 If we take a LB in the 1st I sure how we trade down to do it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they not learned big names and contracts dont get it done! Skins are an NFC pro bowl team basically....and they suck They do suck!!!! And the best thing about it is former wonder boy Gregg Williams' defense finished 31st in the league.(second last!!!!) Snyder deserves having this genius work for him. I hope he thinks he is getting his moneys worth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I bet Snyder does it also just to p--- off Ralph. Then he gets to hear Ralph say again how unfair it is for the small market teams. Ralph is great, but he and all of this whining makes the team and area look bad. It is bad for the area and morale of team/city/fans to keep saying that the team just can't make it anymore. I know there is very little pricing power here but they do have a HUGE advantage--they don't pay for a stadium, the county does and they have NO debt service on the team at all. Granted, with that they likely pull in a profit of maybe $10M, but they are not as poor as he constantly makes it seem. The Redskins can pay 70M for Clements and we'll see how he does as an average CB once he gets paid big bucks. Not as much incentive after a big pay day--especially with a 20M signing bonus.

dib Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Of course Fletcher will go. I can prove it. I bought a Fletcher jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Okay here's the plan... We get even with Washington and get one BIG need filled (costly) Gaurd Derrick Dockery! other FA...Kelley Washington That means we draft.. 1. Okoye at DT 2. AAron Ross of Texas at CB 3. Zak DeOssie of Brown at ILB Getting Dockery will solidify our offensive line and screw Washington at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeBillsDrive Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Not surprised. After all, the Redskins have all the money in the world. But they've got major cap issues. How they handle Brunell over the offseason will impact their cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchobelForcedFumble Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Fletcher fits the Skins D anyway. For one hes over 30, second I think thats where most of our used trash goes, um for example Posey, Vincent..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
