Safety Pierson Prioleau, one of the prominent unsigned Redskins, made his first public comments since becoming a free agent.
Prioleau, who'll be 30 in August, isn't worried that his phone hasn't been ringing with offers nearly two weeks into the signing period.
"I'm chilling at home and working to get myself in top shape for next season," Prioleau said. "I'm feeling great. They say the second year after you have major knee surgery [which he did in September 2006 after being injured on the season-opening kickoff] is when you really like yourself again. I know I can help someone this season. I just don't know what team that is yet."
Prioleau's best bets are the Redskins, for whom he played the last three seasons and whose secondary coach, Jerry Gray, was his coordinator in Buffalo in 2004, and Jacksonville. The Jaguars' new defensive coordinator is Gregg Williams, who coached Prioleau with the Bills and the Redskins.
"When I was out of football for two months [after being cut by San Francisco] in 2001, I learned patience," Prioleau said. "I signed with Buffalo in November and was there for four years. I'm just being patient again now."

hopefully he keeps chilling at home and away from the skins. he's to small to be an effective SS,and to slow to play FS/nickel CB anymore.

It's really boring isn't it.When we have to chat about a player such as Prioleau, who came on the coat tails of Williams.Wait still something really happens.It could be until draft day.Great their signing up their players who have no real big market value .In the meantime we can feed off the Cowfins and who's going to take Ryan and the the Long kids.Come on skins ,at least give us a dui or something.Hanging on!!!!!!!
