So, rumor has it that Sebastian Vollmer could be on his way to Washington. It's nothing legitimate but I have heard and read that there are a lot of Redskins fans that would be excited about him coming to Washington. Sebastian Vollmer is the starting Right Tackle for the New England Patriots and is credited with protecting Tom Brady. That is a pretty huge job, Tom Brady is thought to be the best Quarterback in the league by some. He is an unrestricted Free Agent this offseason and could be on his way out of New England due to some back problems. He is listed at 6'8", 320 lbs. so he is just about as big as our current Right Tackle Tyler Polumbus but with a greater skillset. He is also 28 with 4 years of experience in the NFL so he has plenty of years left in him. However he isn't even making over 1 Million a year in New England. We could offer him a deal that includes around 2.5-3 Million a year for 3 years. It might have to be more than that since New England could still be interested in keeping him. It's not like he is downgrading teams either. The Redskins are on the rise and the Patriots are slowly but surely going into a slump. If he likes the way the Redskins performed in 2012 and thinks there is opportunity here then I think he would make the decision to come here. We would have to offer a good amount of money though and it would have to be played carefully because Right Tackle isn't the only position they have to address in Free Agency. This would be a great investment for the Redskins. What does everyone else think? Do you think the Redskins should pursue Sebastian Vollmer? Is there another Right Tackle in Free Agency better suited for the job?
