Free Agency: Chase the Dragon

The Washington football team started the belated 2011 free agent feeding frenzy by re-signing their leading receiver (Moss) and adding two more journeymen WRs, Jabbar Gaffney and Donte Manslaughterworth.

They also junked former starting QB Donovan McNabb, shipping him off to Minnesota for a 6th round pick where he will undoubtedly lead a resurgence of his own career while steering the Vikes to just miss the playoffs.

The team also picked up another 4-3 linemen who they'll try to force into NT or DE in their jury-rigged 3-4. And they're pinning all our hopes on the young Mormon Eagle Scout QB who's been waiting for a chance since he was drafted.

Adding pieces to the defense is fun, and NT & OLB remain vacant, but the real need of this team is ... offensive line, duh. When DC picks up a good C/G/RT, then I'll start my hopes.

Yes, this writing doesn't have much snap or urgency. There's a lot of chaos right now, with a slew of signings expected over the weekend. I don't feel like I have to pay close attention. I'll need a couple weeks to assimilate my feelings about the UnLockout 2011.
