Cleveland are reportedly eyeing up Fred Davis. I hope not. I'm really hoping we can find a way to re-sign him. Couldn't compete with Cleveland though in an auction. I imagine Norv Turner would love to have a TE like him to work with.

@AKinkhabwala
So this Mallett-to-Browns story won't go away. Asked Lombardi abt it straight up yest. He laughed. If it happens, don't think till April

The Redskins old TE coach is in Cleveland now too so potentially more reasons for Davis to join us.

Jason Jones to the Lions. Nice interior pass rusher

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 3:56 pm

Fred Davis is interesting. Plenty of potential but career underachiever like Cook up to now

If Ryan Mallett ends up in Cleveland with some draft picks in New England as a result, Michael Lombardi should be fired on the spot

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 4:02 pm

Michael Lombardi shouldve been fired on the spot when he was hired

by sodhat Wed 13 Mar 2013, 4:05 pm

You're h..fired.

Wait, what?

by **Derbyblue** Wed 13 Mar 2013, 4:08 pm

Donnie Avery signing with KC.

TBH Olly we only have 6 picks and no second rounder, I'll be amazed by their stupidity if they're willing to give them up for Mallet.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 13 Mar 2013, 4:11 pm

Yeah I would be too Derby. I don't think Mallett is any good personally, Hoyer would be a better pickup if you're looking for a QB

by **Pr4wn** Wed 13 Mar 2013, 4:39 pm

Steelers have released Willie Colon.

Yeah, it's been a mixture of bad luck and stupidity with him. He was drafted by the wrong team basically. He was never going to see much playing time while Chris Cooley was at the peak of his powers. Didn't help that Jim Zorn was his first HC either. Then when he finally got his career going he got caught smoking dope and followed that up last season by freakishly snapping his Achilles. When he's on the field though, he's a quick TE with good hands that causes defenses match up problems. Would be a good pick up for Cleveland. He's from that area so would be a homecoming for him.

LaRon Landry currently meeting with the Colts, scheduled to sly to San Francisco tonight if he doesn't agree a deal Indianapolis.

by **Pr4wn** Wed 13 Mar 2013, 5:15 pm

Reggie Bushhas agreed terms with the Lions.

by Number-25 Wed 13 Mar 2013, 5:20 pm

Good luck to whoever signs Landry. I initially loved him when he was a Redskin but got tired in the end of all the ill-timed personal fouls, blown coverages and just not being able to depend on him staying healthy.

Fearsome hitter though and excellent run stuffer. Just don't put him in coverage though and make sure you sign another Safety to step in when he gets injured and insists on healing himself with mumbo jumbo alternative therapies!

Raiders and Vince Young having "preliminary talks". http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/13/report-raiders-having-preliminary-talks-with-vince-young/

Classic.

Dorsey and Woodson at 49ers facility. Can actually see Dorsey as a NT with the 49ers

by **Derbyblue** Wed 13 Mar 2013, 5:44 pm

@AdamSchefter
And Cardinals reached an agreement in principle on a one-year deal with former Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall.

Jean Francois has taken a medical in Philly apparently.

Sopoaga is a tank.

Can also throw a ball 70 yards apparently #wildcat

@PFCentral
Breaking News Jake Long passes physical and agrees to a deal with the Rams. Worked hard to break this give credit

@TKras
I can confirm @RCummingsTBO's report: #Bucs are indeed negotiating with safety Dashon Goldson. Hope to close in on an agreement soon

by Number-25 Wed 13 Mar 2013, 6:02 pm

Most stupid story I've seen today is the Redskins supposedly being in the mix for Reggie Bush. Two problems:-

1. We can't afford anyone, let alone him
2. Alfred Morris

It'd be weird if his agent had peddled that rumour cos no-one would be scared about being competing with us for an FA this year. If anything it could drive down the money a guy gets if we're among the bidders! Dunno who makes this stuff up. Bored journalists I guess.

He's off to Detroit anyway.

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 6:32 pm

Lions sign Glover Quin.

Redskins need the knees of somebody fast to transplate for RG3s

Young is a moron

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 6:36 pm

Browns sign gary Barnidge

Championship

by Colan (niner) Wed 13 Mar 2013, 6:46 pm

Tampa having Barron and Goldson will be interesting. Barron is talented but he is a poor man's Goldson right now so not sure how they wil gel. Goldson is obviously the hardest hitting safety in the NFL but Barron can hit himself so people will think twice about going over the middle. Goldson is also a ballhawk but not sure the two of them are blessed when it comes to coverage.

Broncos in for Welker

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 6:48 pm

Bit of a shame Peyton is no good in the playoffs really Whistle

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:02 pm

Goldson to the Bucs is done

by **Pr4wn** Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:05 pm

Dashon Goldson signs a five year deal in Tampa.

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:06 pm

Don't really get that. Their run D was good, better guys than Goldson in the pass game. Bucs seem to be becoming the new Redskins

by **Pr4wn** Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:08 pm

That will allow Barron to work more in the box. Goldson really isn't that bad in coverage at all.

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:09 pm

It really isn't his forte

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:09 pm

Better than Whitner sure, but Whitner is just a liability. Quin would've made more sense to sure up the pass D.

by Colan (niner) Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:12 pm

Goldson isn't a coverage safety but he is above average in that area. But still like I said, Barron is a poor man's Goldson, and I'm not sure how well they will mesh. I like both players but not sure this is a fit. If they pay him 7 or 8m a year I will lol

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:13 pm

5 years, 41.25m, 22m guaranteed. Got his 8m per

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:15 pm

I still think hes best utilised as an enforcer on the back end, which with 6 all pros in front of him is great. Just not sure he was the best guy to help that awful pass D. Gonna need 2 v.good coverage guys now

by GSC Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:21 pm

Glenn Dorsey is a 49er.

Disappointed in that, wanted to see him back in a 4-3.

by **Pr4wn** Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:32 pm

How can you say that about Barron? He's been im the league one year and was constantly left exposed by terrible corners.

by Colan (niner) Wed 13 Mar 2013, 7:49 pm

I think he will play NT. 49ers don't play rgid 3-4 anyway, defense is much more versatile than given credit for. Plus he is elite run stopper and that is 49ers identity. We also have best d-line coach in NFL so I'm sure he'll help a supposed 'bust'. I expect Dorsey to blossom whether he is a starter or not. Plus 49ers add another former top ten pick!

Shonn Greene, 3 years $10m. picard
