Joe Gibbs Free Quotations

There are different ways that people feel like it should be done. Any way that you can add a player -- I don't care if it's a trade, the draft, free agency -- I want to be aggressive. Free agency is a place where you make fewer mistakes because you're not trying to project somebody from a college environment to the pros. You've got somebody that has already played up here and been successful.

Right now, everybody is nervous. I would sure hate to see us go into free agency without (a new CBA) done. The other thing I'm hoping for is the date to be extended.

If we go to free agency without a CBA, I would say very few teams are going to be in play and be active. If you do have a CBA, there are going to be a lot of teams out there competing for players.

I don't think it's as easy as people make it out to be. You also have to protect in there. You're looking through your legs and trying to get something back there 15 yards to a certain spot. Your head's down and there's someone coming who just gets a free whack at you. I don't think there's anything easy about that deal.

He will oversee and direct the offense. It will free me up to do some other things.

We would like to solve everything that we could on our football team in free agency. That way you go into the draft and you're freewheeling.

With our free agents, we think we have the best place for them.

People say, 'Why would you go get the free agents? Well, look at the guys we wouldn't have on our football team.

Somebody's going to get a real opportunity to play for us. There still may be a solid guy there (in free agency now or after the June 1 cuts) that we feel like might come up, but that's something everybody is concerned about.

For all of us, the collective bargaining agreement is a big deal. We've seen everything in this league - strikes, free agency and salary caps. For some teams in the league, it's going to be tougher. We'll be one of the teams that it will be tough on.

Each team's a little different, how they want to build a team. ... Certainly Pittsburgh is a scheme that works, they won a Super Bowl. If you watch their team, there are a lot of draft choices, they're real conscious about that. It remains to be seen how we'll end up doing, but we've chosen to be more aggressive in free agency.
