This. And at literally a third of the cost.

Alexander signed a 3 year/9.5mil contract with 3mil guaranteed.

That deal looks like crap at this point.

was thinking along those lines too.

Re: Redskins add ILB/special teams standout Adam Hayward
 

Great signing! We were looking at Hayward and Chris Maragos, who is a solid special-teamer but would be a wasted safety spot. We have enough reserve safeties, we need a starter there.

Hayward being a backup ILB is more valuable than another safety who isn't good enough to see the field as a safety. Maragos signed with Philly.

player friendly, or loser tax?

[quote=CRedskinsRule;1063141]player friendly, or loser tax?[/quote]Good morning.

The structure is player friendly if you compare it to the Lichtensteiger or Montgomery deals, which the Redskins can easily get out of if they choose. This is a little trickier, because more than 20% is signing bonus, and the year one salary is so low.

If instead, he took a $2 mil SB and a year one salary of $4 million, the year one value is the same for the player, but he has less leverage for year two, as the team can save money by releasing him.
