Default OLB Marcus Washington released by the Redskins - Possible Pats interest?

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/red...pected_to.html

He is only 31 and has lost a bit of his talent in the past few years but was a force in 2004 which was his pro bowl season and played well in 2005 and 2006

The Skins opted to drop Washington over Jason Taylor and shave off 4M against the cap,so he is available although he played in a 4-3 in Washington and don't know how he would translate to this 3-4 D

Is he washed up or would he make for some depth at the position for the Pats? or was the signing of Banta-Cain signs that there wont be another veteran OLB signing anytime soon?

no.. He's never played in a 3-4 and his age has caught up to him.. He's not the player he once was with INDY... He had 1 AVERAGE year in Washington..


He's averaged 46 tackles the past 2 years.. Seriouly.. NO

Probably won't translate well to 3-4 at this stage of his career.
Has been injury prone 2005-present.
Has been less productive each year due to injuries.

Sorry but no, no way, and this should be moved to the NFL forum.

It's a sad thing when we look at a LB prospect and say "he is only 31".

He's lost too much and he doesn't fit our system.

Washington's best fit was in Indy's Tampa 2 system. From a linebacker perspective, that's about the opposite of what the Patriots do.

We have a lot of Veteran LB's, all of whom are probably near the top of the heap for the individual age categories. This dude sounds close to done.
We have all we need of time-tested (and still solid) LB's, IMO. Unless it's a special case for some uber-talented FA, we need to stick with the draft and our P-Squad.

I released a fart two minutes ago. Should we sign it too?

Would you characterize it as devastating and disruptive?

Nah, this one was a ninja fart: silent and deadly.

Just so we're clear - we'll be doing this for every free agent?
