Redskins Insider - Defensive end Babin on Redskins' radar

I am trying to think of veteran RBs we could go after since Sproles is pretty much off the market and it looks like Taylor is going to the Bears.

Thomas Jones
Willis McGahee
Julius Jones
Michael Bush, I think

by Rabbit T on Mar 5, 2010 10:44 AM EST up reply actions  

I’d take T.Jones or McGahee, preferably McGahee. At least he could be used to catch passes and goal line situations. Much like he was used in Baltimore.

by EREX21 on Mar 5, 2010 10:46 AM EST up reply actions  

I like Bush but am not sure if he is a FA. I think the Ravens are holding onto McGahee

by The Legend on Mar 5, 2010 10:50 AM EST up reply actions  

Looks like VandenBosch has signed with Detroit.

by JasonB on Mar 5, 2010 10:46 AM EST reply actions  

So let me get this straight…the Lions, they of 3 wins in the last two years can sign not one but two decent FA’s and the Bird’s can’t get anyone to visit yet?

by EREX21 on Mar 5, 2010 10:50 AM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, but they paid Burleson $25 million to go there and they sent their coach to KVB’s house.

by JasonB on Mar 5, 2010 10:52 AM EST up reply actions  

Well yeah Burleson’s contract is a bit much, not the 25 mil but the 11 g-teed. As for the KVB move, I like that. The coach should go out on a limb sometimes.

by EREX21 on Mar 5, 2010 10:54 AM EST up reply actions  

And would any of us really be jumping up and down if we signed Burleson or KVB?

Proudly supporting a Flyers team with "no honor".

by Justin F. on Mar 5, 2010 11:24 AM EST up reply actions  

I am not talking about the players so much as the fact that they signed with Detroit. An absolute garbage team. We don’t need Burleson, KVB would have been good though.

by EREX21 on Mar 5, 2010 11:33 AM EST up reply actions  

I don’t see why they wouldn’t sign with Detroit. Good or not, they’re still paying, right? KVB would have been OK for a cheap deal, but he doesn’t really bring that much to the table.

by zfg on Mar 5, 2010 11:46 AM EST up reply actions  

Yeah I guess I just over estimate people’s desire to win.

by EREX21 on Mar 5, 2010 11:52 AM EST up reply actions  

I doubt either of those two would even start for the Eagles.

by zfg on Mar 5, 2010 11:28 AM EST up reply actions  

Good for AJ, bad for us

I wonder if AJ is going to be the “Bridge” guy while the Rams develop a young guy.

Bad for us – I was hoping we’d trade 2 of our QBs and pick AJ back as a back-up, plus this might take off the market of the Rams for our QBs

by Smallbugger on Mar 5, 2010 10:52 AM EST reply actions  

yeah, but

i think we could possible take a qb late in the draft,

"Leave Michael Alone!" - said like that Brittany Spears fan on youtube

by sports00fan00 on Mar 5, 2010 11:24 AM EST up reply actions  

I was thinking the same

But with 2 QBs gone we have Feeley as #2 and the late pick as our developmental #3

by Smallbugger on Mar 5, 2010 12:02 PM EST up reply actions  

The St. Louis Rams are not among the teams interested in Eagles QB Donovan McNabb.

My list of teams interested in Mcnabb:
- Colts
- Patriots
- Falcons
- Chargers
- Saints

These are all teams looking to upgrade at the QB position

by midnitegreen on Mar 5, 2010 10:55 AM EST reply actions  

I can't tell if you're being funny.

Or did you mean Vick/ Kolb, and not McNabb, in reference to their back-up QB situations?

Because there’s no way McNabb is going somewhere to be a back-up.

by NOLACuse on Mar 5, 2010 11:13 AM EST up reply actions  

He was kidding.

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

Sorry, We really need a sarcasm font on here

by midnitegreen on Mar 5, 2010 11:23 AM EST up reply actions  

OK, first reaction was to laugh.

So I initially got it. But then I realized all those teams could actually use back-up help. So I thought maybe you were serious, but just not being clear. Carry on.

Just got sent this by eagles

“Dear Eagles Fan:

As a previous Eagles Draft Party attendee, we are interested in your feedback to help us plan the best party for this year’s NFL Draft. Many of you may know that the NFL Draft will begin on Thursday evening, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. with the first round. Rounds two and three will take place on Friday evening (April 23), and rounds four through seven are scheduled for Saturday, April 24. Please help us determine the right time and venue to hold this year’s Eagles Draft Party by responding to this short, 4-question survey and clicking on the survey link below:

http://2126359.turnkeysurveyor.com "

I don’t know what to vote? I don’t like the NFL moving draft day 1 to a Thursday. Also, I’d like to know when tickets for it are available since they go super fast.

by JGCarraway on Mar 5, 2010 11:08 AM EST reply actions  

see my fanshot!

Please vote for Saturday!

I'd rather be an Eagles fan till the day i die and go 0-16 every year than be a cockroach cowboys fan

Any word on Kampman?

Last I heard, Seattle was looking like his next destination.

Let the beasting begin.

by TransplantedFan on Mar 5, 2010 11:45 AM EST reply actions  

They’re saying now that the Bucs have targeted him.

by JasonB on Mar 5, 2010 11:46 AM EST up reply actions  

I thought the Bucs were allergic to spending money.

Let the beasting begin.

by TransplantedFan on Mar 5, 2010 11:47 AM EST up reply actions  

If we miss out on both Peppers and Kampman I reaaaaaaalllly hope we address DE in the first couple of rounds.

We need an impact player opposite Cole if we want to get much better on D. I don’t want to think about going into next season with Abiamiri and Parker as our guys again.

by NOLACuse on Mar 5, 2010 12:07 PM EST up reply actions  

I don't really expect anything big to happen with the Eagles

Even though it would be a good idea, I don’t see them going after Kirk since they seem to love Fokou. And I don’t see them going after Atogwe unless Spags contacts Andy first. So I’m not going to keep my hopes up for anything major to happen.

by macjack09 on Mar 5, 2010 12:47 PM EST reply actions  

Chester Taylor just signed with the Bears

4 years, 12.5 million, of which 7 guaranteed.
Just saw it on NFL Fanhouse.
They also claim a source saying Antrel Rolle is about to sign with the Giants.

by Rabbit T on Mar 5, 2010 2:21 PM EST reply actions  

Peppers gets 40mil first 3 years of deal

thats just too much money.

glad we didnt sign him
