2012 Free Agents the Redskins Could Target - Offense

We have spent countless hours debating who, and what positions the Redskins should focus on in the 2012 NFL Draft, but unlike the debacle last year, this year will again return to the normal format of free agency occurring before the draft. For a team like the Redskins, this is very important, as it can help us fill some holes, and narrow down what positions and players we should target in the 2012 Draft.
Below is a look at some key free agents at various positions of need on offense who I feel can help this team in the rebuild.
Please remember, this list can change as re-worked contracts, and the franchise tag will come into play for many. The ages represent how old they will be come the start of the 2012 NFL season.
QB - This is out number one position of need going into the offseason. My hope is that out future signal caller will come from the draft, but we still need competent back-ups, and as of right now, I don't see any on our current roster.
Matt Flynn - Packers 27
Chad Henne - Dolphins 27
Kyle Orton - Broncos 29
Brian Hoyer - Pats 27 (Restricted FA)
Brady Quinn - Broncos 28
OL - This is an area of major importance, and how we address this during the off-season can go a long way in determining our success in 2012. We need to be smart and aggressive come FA.
G's/C's
Carl Nicks - Saints 27
Ben Grubbs - Ravens 28
Nick Hardwick - Chargers 30
Chris Myers - Texans 31
Scott Wells - Packers 31
OT's
Robert Turner - Jets 28
Demetrius Bell - Bills 28
Anthony Collins - Bengals 27
King Dunlap - Eagles 27
Oniel Cousins - Browns 28
WR - The Redskins need a go-to guy at the WR spot. My hope is that Hankerson, or Paul can emerge as that guy, but there are some nice options on the FA market if the staff feels the current Skins are not up to the challenge.
Dwayne Bowe - Chiefs 27
DeSean Jackson - Eagles 25
Marques Colston - Saints 29
Steve Johnson - Bills 26
Robert Meachem - Saints 28
Mario Manningham - Giants 26
Early Doucet - Cards 27
Harry Douglas - Falcons 28
Maurice Stovall - Lions 27
Pierre Garcon - Colts 26

Bowe......definitely Bowe.
"If a man speaks and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong???"
Kansas City general manager better than our general manager-no way we get Bowe
The world looks mighty different when you're peeking out your belly button

Bowe is going to be a tough one to land
but stranger things have happened. He could simply want big money, that the Chiefs are not willing to give, but my guess is that he could be the target of a franchise tag at the least.
John Denver was a musical genius
"He could simply want big money"
I think this is the opposite of what we want. If we land a big FA wideout, I want it to be a player who is sick of losing somewhere else, has a chip on their shoulder, and believes that the Redskins have momentum moving forward and wants to help us become a contender.
They free agent who wants to get paid can accomplish that goal elsewhere
The last thing I want for our, hopefully, young QB is a diva WR...
I wouldn’t mind signing Harry Douglas, I’ve always been a big fan. Honestly I’d stay set with what we have. I don’t see us spending money on a big name WR. Who knows if we were actually in the running for Holmes last year. And we obviously just let Edwards go to SF.
We have to remember that Santana isn’t going anywhere. Austin, Hank, Paul, and Gaffney will all still be here. Armstrong is still under contract for cheap until 2012. And we still have Robinson on the PS. I’d be content with drafting a big possession WR like Quick or Summers in the 5th-7th, and maybe adding a guy like Harry Douglas.

Yeah, I agree
We have a WR of his type in Austin(obviously not on the same level).
John Denver was a musical genius
well done!
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
isn't it ironic...
the first mention of FA is WR. I thought OL was our MOST IMPORTANT POSITION IN NEED!
Given the list of available talent @ C/G/OT, I wouldn’t be quick to drop a lot of coin on any of them either. It probably be through the draft that we will care for our OL needs.

there are actually some pretty good names out there for the line
Tackle is a thinner market, but it usually is.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
yeah but last year was an odd year, b/c the year before players needed 6 years to reach UFA, so essentially you had two FA classes in one
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Oh, I know
but just saying, it was a good class for linemen, eventhough most of the good ones stayed with their original teams.
John Denver was a musical genius
gotcha
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
I wouldn't view Bowe as a Diva
but more of a security blanket for a young QB. He is a playmaker…………period. He is the kind of guy you can throw a jump ball to, and he’s going to make a play.
John Denver was a musical genius
Ahhh... yes... the illusive playmake label...
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
As a WR...
Not a big fan of the “playmaker/intangibles” labels… especially intangibles… I’m not willing to spend money on big name WR right now.
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
And let me guess
you also feel we have more pressing needs in the draft, so I’ll assume you would pass on a WR in the first two rounds as well.
I think we need on big go-to guy, to go along with the rest of the pedestrian WR’s we already have. It could make a world of difference for a young QB.
Don’t believe me……………just ask Sam Bradford. Oh wait, I forgot, he has none either.
John Denver was a musical genius
Absolutely, a big time WR wouldn't do much on this squad when our QB is eating turf...
you also feel we have more pressing needs in the draft, so I’ll assume you would pass on a WR in the first two rounds as well.
WRs have a tremendous bust rate also. Like I said I’d stick to what we have and go for a possession red zone guy like Quick or Summers late. I’d maybe consider a guy like Dwight Jones, TY Hilton, or Kendall Wright if they are still sitting around in the 4th.
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
But
Bowe is the ultimate Red Zone guy. He is a freakin monster near the goaline. I’d consider him to be one of the best red zone threats at WR in the NFL right now.
It’s not like we over-spent last year in FA. Making one big splash, for a team hurting in so many ways on offense, won’t kill us.
John Denver was a musical genius
If we addresses LG and WR with big names in free agency...
draft a QB and two T/G/C in the first three rounds, we could use the rest of the draft for depth (and maybe a starting K). This team would have a whole new identity
i've been a Gano fan....
but consistancy isn’t something he has improved on….but not completely demonstrated since he’s been here.
How has he not improved his consistency?
If I remember correctly he has only really missed one kick. The rest have been blocked… more on the line than the kicker.
That's super, but I'm not willing to pay that right now.
Also Bowe has never had a big contract so who knows how he’ll react. I’m fine with our WRs…
If we have the luxury of taking someone in 2013 then that would be great. I’d be more than happy to reunite Woods and Barkley.
I think a young QB needs to establish their territory and grow with the guys we have, then try to make a splash with a “playmaker”

And as you always say youself, we are not professional writers, so no need to critize one another publically.

Pretty aware of my grammar woes and try to fix them.

I would definitely prefer spending money on him so we can use our picks on other areas of need.

He'll hit the open market, I wouldn't be surprised if Pioli stuck w/ Breaston/Baldwin
Bowe is going to look to get paid. The Chiefs also have a slew of other starters they’ll have to re-sign or replace
I’m guessing Charles will want his contract restructured fairly soon. Cassel is getting overpaid also.
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
i was thinking the same thing....
Pioli is definitely a smart guy, and i’m guessing he had a feeling that Bowe might want to test the market….hence the 1st round WR selection
Baldwin is taking his time to develop
just like many young WR’s, but he does have great potential. Breston was also a great pickup.
John Denver was a musical genius
i think he would be farther ahead...
had charles not gotten hurt. That team can run the football, it would set him up for lots of one on ones, which is difficult with his “intangibles”….. ;) parks
Baldwin also got hurt and missed a good bit of time
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
I doubt a lot of these OL hit the open market...
King Dunlap made me throw up.
Also updated, Hoyer is a RFA. Although with Mallett being there I would doubt it would take much to get him.
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
The good news is both the the Saints and Ravens have a ton of free agents so they can't Franchise or bring back every body
hopefully that means Grubbs or Nicks is available.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Thats exactly what I was thinking
The Ravens have a lot of money wrapped up in that O-Line right now. They also have decent depth. Grubbs could easily be avaliable.
John Denver was a musical genius
they also have Ray Rice a FA, I believe Ray Lewis can opt out as well as a few other moderate name starters
also the reason i say Grubbs, is our O-line coach used to be in Baltimore so that connection
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
I think Redding is their only other "serious" FA
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
Both Jarrett Johnson and Jameel McClain are UFA's as well
also Matt Birk
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Rice is the obvious one
but yes, there are a lot of other “role player” types.
John Denver was a musical genius
What about McKinnie?
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
did i say that
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
I think it was pretty clear I was asking about his free agent status.
See below how Steve properly comprehended it.
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
McKinnie is under contract for next year, Gurode isn't though
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Nicks and Grubbs are the two linemen I would want most
Either one instantly upgrades our line.
I also think Anthony Collins from the Bengals has some nice upside as an OT. prob more of a depth signing than an immediate starter, but we do need depth as well.
I would also love to pluck Manningham from the Giants, as I think he can be a great #2 here. Doucet would be my 2nd choice at WR. I’d be in favor of getting rid of both Stallworth and Gaffney.
John Denver was a musical genius
I def. want Grubbs or Nicks, I'm guessing Grubbs is more likely
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
I'd actually favor Grubbs overr Nicks
as I think he moves a little better in tight spaces. Nicks is a mauler(although he has good feet for a man his size)
John Denver was a musical genius
yeah agreed
not that I wouldn’t take Nicks, but Grubbs is a slightly better fit for the offense.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Nicks reminds me of a Dallas type of linemen
But I agree, I take him any day of the week. What also scares me is that Licht and Monty are both FA’s. My wish would be to let one of the two walk, and replace them with some better talent.
I’m a Licht fan, but the injury will dictate what will happen with him.
John Denver was a musical genius
well it would bring back the Hogs, but it would make some interesting decisions elsewhere (like perhaps not spending the money for Landry)
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
We have the money, and cap space
to be able to make some pretty big moves, including signing our own.
John Denver was a musical genius
we do, but it isn't limitless
Fletch, and Davis will account for a chunk and a few others.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
injury or cover skills?
or tackeling? i am conserned that we will over pay him when he really isnt all that great
I like Landry and he could be great, but can we justify paying him top 5 safety money, it is going to be an interesting negotiation that is for sure.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
We have to at least offer him top 10 money
with some incentives, and it should be for 5 years
John Denver was a musical genius
No
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
Who would give us anything for Gaffney?
We’d be lucky to get a 7th in 2015
John Denver was a musical genius
I actually disagree with Tiller and Parks
i could see a couple teams being willing to part with a 7th rounder for him. He’s cheap, he’s relatively productive and it means that teams don’t have to spend big money or a 2nd-4th rounder on a WR.
You won’t get more than a 7th, but I’d def. do it.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
I wouldn't totally put it out of the realm of possibility...
Gaffney is a professional WR
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
yeah I could see a team like the Colts
who have a TON of needs this offseason, and might not want to break the bank on a WR. If Manning is back, then great Gaffney is an All-pro, but if it is a rookie QB then at least he has a capable veteran to help him.
Jags are another team, they are a lock to grab a WR in the first round, but they have nothing across from him, so instead of signing a big name or another high pick, they get a decent receiver for Gabbert.
Obviously i see a few other teams like that as well. No guarantees but I think he could be dealt, def.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Sims-Walker went back to Jax
I also wonder if they won’t be in the Blackmon/Jefferies sweepstakes. Gabbert needs weapons
John Denver was a musical genius
all of the teams who took QB's this year, are in the WR market next...
Ponder, Gabbert and Locker (if he starts next year) don’t have top noth receivers and would benefit greatly from a young stud. Newton could use another weapon as well, Steve Smith is good and has had a great season, but he’s still a small target
Locker has Britt
who before injury, was a flat out monster this year.
John Denver was a musical genius
i lose faith in players after injury...
just like lichtensteiger…i don’t see him suiting up next year for us, which is why i’m all for spending big on young offensive linemen
yeah but they still need weapons there, and Britt is also one more incident away from getting suspended for a season
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Sims-Walker is now on IR and an FA
The Jags gave up on him once, they aren’t signing him to a longterm deal. I think you are right the Jags will take either Blackmon or Jefferey, but they need more there. Mike Thomas and Cecil Shorts aren’t the answer (though I do think Shorts has some upside).
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Don't pound on my boy Cecil Shorts
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
haha just saying he needs some time
he might be ready to contribute next year, but if I’m the Jags Gaffney buys me a year and gives him a veteran to learn from.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
His '09 National Championship game was insane...
Still think they reached in the 4th though.
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
yeah i just think he needs some time...and having a rookie QB with no veteran receiver to learn from makes it tough

You don't consider Kassim Osgood a great mentor?
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
for special teams
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
should we trade gaffney for another practice squad player?
because that’s where 6th and 7th rounders go with this .
just saying: On the above list:
Steve Johnson, Marcus Colston, Pierre Garcon, Maurice Stovall, Robert Turner, D. Bell, K. Dunlap, Chris Myers, Scott Wells, Matt Flynn and Brian Hoyer were either 6th, 7th or UDFA guys. Also Carl Nicks arguably the best guard in football was a 5th rounder.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Why is Maurice Stovall even on this list?
His 7 yards this year have been impressive.
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
i don't even need to look it up, but i'll guarantee that he has done better than Armstrong and Stallworth who drop just about every other pass
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
he literally has one catch for 8 yards this year
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
still one catch in two targets and zero drops is All-Pro compared to drops McGee in Armstrong
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
haha well if we're setting our FA campaign targets at Mo Stovall then I don't want to be involved.
We should just grab Terrance Toliver and play him the rest of the way
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
i would def. love to bring him in for a shot
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
If we are setting our draft on your later-round D1 AA players
I don’t want to be involved
John Denver was a musical genius
You forgot to add...
If we are setting our draft on your later-round D1 AA players, who I know nothing about.
Open up your mind a little bit there bud, no one is talking about revolving the draft around a 5th round FCS prospect. I’m guessing you’ve never seen Quick or Summers play? They’d be fine prospects I’d be happy to develop with 5th or 6th round pick.
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
Sorry Bud,
maybe I’ll watch Grand Valley Central State University of Bumblefuck vs. Eastern Kentucky School for the Hard of Hearing over LSU/Alabama on Saturday, so I can uncover some hidden gems we can pluck in the 7th round or as undrafted FA’s.
That sounds fun!
John Denver was a musical genius
I'll certainly watch LSU-Bama at 8.
But I’ll also watch Liberty-VMI tomorrow, try to catch a little of Furman-App State, JMU-NH, and Towson-Maine before turning to Goal Line (a beautiful thing) until the LSU game.
Sorry didn’t go to a big school and watch a lot of FCS, and I know a pretty legit FCS prospect when I see one.

Sorry didn’t go to a big school and watch a lot of FCS, and I know a pretty legit FCS prospect when I see one.
So just because you went to a D1 AA school, that makes your eye for D1 AA talent that much better?
John Denver was a musical genius
I don't know if you noticed but "see" was in bold
The fact that I actually watch FCS football gives me the ability to evaluate them. Not blindly shoot them down and make fun of them and me, like you’ve been doing.
If I someone writes about a prospect I haven’t heard on here then I try to make an effort to see them, not blindly criticize them. I’d suggest you actually watch some of these FCS guys like Brian Quick rather then making fun of them and refusing to recognize them as actual prospects.

I mean Garcon and Colston turned out just fine and neither one played big time college football
and there are more than a few others.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
don't forget about JMU's finest Gary Clark
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Yea JMU
and also, Jerry Rice…best receiver ever…didn’t he play AA college ball?
yep
Mississippi Valley State, it is in the SWAC
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
So you criticize us for evaluating non FBS prospects but see the value in it?
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
I didn't critize
I agree there are some great prospects who play in lower divisions of football.
You seemed to jump at the opportunity to critize Stovall. I added him to the list because he’s young, and has intriguing size.
John Denver was a musical genius
I can criticize Stovall b/c I've actually seen the dude play.
He’s not good, I’ve seen him for six years now. He’s failed to even get 150 receiving yards in four of his five complete seasons, and I doubt he does it again this year. He also has 3 career TDs, translation: he stinks.

Steve there was an article in the Richmond paper yesterday about...
Aaron Corp being a serious NFL prospect. I almost spit out my coffee on my work desk.
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
haha
yeah he’s not having the best of seasons to make me believe that is the case. Now had the article come out in August before the season i’d believe it, since he was a top recruit with good size and a decent arm, but now not so much.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
I get what you're saying with this list....BUT
that is a short list considering it goes back 3-4 years and consists of close to 300 picks.
Also, in 2 years, shanahan has had ten picks in the 6th and 7th round combined and we currently have 5 on the active roster. While the guys below have shown some promise and the ability to be good backups in this leauge
, i doubt any of these guys are going to be consistant starters
Austin
Cook
Nield
Hurt
White
I don't know......
Other than Cook I think there are some possibilities there, especially for Markus White
sure those are the cream of the crop, but the point is they aren't all wasteful picks
and some do take years to develop. For instance Colston was a stud right away, but Steve Johnson took a couple years.
I also think part of the problem is we might reach too much. I don’t want to knock them entirely but Morris, Cook and Austin were considered more of UDFA type of players, now Austin might have worked out, but the point is we were reaching, and even this past year with Hurt it was the same sort of thing. Some might turn out, but the Redskins need to do a better job scouting these guys and finding more stars, consistent starters, significant contributors, star special teamers etc. in the late rounds, b/c that is what the good teams do.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
I would
Send out Redskins as soon as free agency starts to bring Carl Nicks back here. He’ll, and send the yacht. I know we’re trying to get away from the old “big splash/Black Friday” mentality, but this is different. If we can get a Pro Bowl-caliber guard, in his prime, we need to jump all over it..

We would still have Kyle's wife....
….and no talk of plane crashes, thats just plain morbid
I would throw a lot of money at either Nicks or Grubbs
It gives us many more options with our first 3 picks in the draft if we could land one of these two.
John Denver was a musical genius
Here is what we do on O
Sign Orton to a three year contract. Sign Nicks. Sign Collins. No WR is signed except maybe a depth guy. We take out top 5-10 pick and trade back for more picks. We take Tannehill late in the first and he sits behind Orton for about two years. Boom. Done.
Also is it just me or would Harry Douglas be the best porn name?
not bad
my only concern is Orton might want too much (he made $8 million this year). I wouldn’t be opposed to adding a receiver if we have the money, but probably not a guy like Bowe who will be too pricey. Maybe a Doucet type.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
yeah I don't mind Manningham either
I just don’t want to break the bank on a WR this year. QB and O-line are more important, and should be the focus of the money and resources. Adding a guy like Doucet is a good compromise move. It improves our receiving corps, but it doesn’t preclude our young guys from getting a chance, and it doesn’t take away from our top goals.

Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
I disagree
but it doesn’t preclude our young guys from getting a chance
Moss, Gaffney, AA, and even Stallworth have been thrown to more than our young guys this year. What would preclude the same thing from happening next year?
Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
But how big is Orton's market going to be
Doesn’t seem like there will be alot of starting opportunities for QBs next year. I think signing another WR is just going to hurt our young guys development. I would also stay away from all offensive linemen 28. I think that is the antithisis of what this organization needs.
by 64ShagginWagon on Nov 4, 2011 12:05 PM EDT up reply actions
Thats the thing
Most teams want “their guy”, instead of someone elses “has been” at QB. The opportunities will be limited for the FA Qb’s in 2012, so money might not be as big of an issue as we may think.
I’ll gladly take Henne as a backup.
John Denver was a musical genius
Hasselbeck still got $7 million a year and Vince Young about $6 million (for only one year)
and that was in a small FA market, where teams might not have been as comfortable shelling out money for guys to ‘learn the system’

true, but a lot of the teams looking to draft young QB's will probably look for a stop gap

orton has no market
i mean how can he?? he got sent out of town by rex grossmen and now tim tebow… ied rather get matt flynn then orton.
Flynn will be available, but I’d be shocked if Wells even entertained other offers. He should be back in GB.
Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!
I also edit things at Ridiculous Upside. Check it out.
I would go after Carl Nicks & do whatever it takes to make him a Redskin
He is one of if not the best Guard in the NFL. He is big but is still athletic enough to play in a ZBS. He could play RT if needed, with what we are paying Jamal Brown it would be close to an even trade & well worth it for the Skins.
Yet another Husker.
Boom.
Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!

unfortunately we are going to have to eat money on the Brown deal

just wish
shanahan give up a 2nd rounder on matt flynn instead of mcnabb. think we would be in so much better shape going into next season. hell we might not even need a new qb right now and coulda used first 3 on o-line or a good cb. maybe we will still get flynn ? how old is he? maybe get him in FA then trade back and grab a bunch of picks out of the deal. i do think the presure will be on shanahan and crew to win next season so i look for him to make alot of moves this offseason… im already looking forward to it more then any other year i can remember
Flynn could come in and be a starter
so it will be interesting to see if we persue him.
Just a question, but does anyone else feel Grossman’s career in the NFL may be over?
John Denver was a musical genius
God I hope so
Haha. The better question is, does anyone else feel JOHN BECK’S career is over.
Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
I also
I would also love to pluck Manningham from the Giants, Although with Mallett being there I would doubt it would take much to get him.
