Re: RGIII Ready to Report (Signs Deal)
 

For sure.

Also I agree 100% if RGIII is who we all hope he will be he will get a long term deal after or before year 3.

Re: RGIII Ready to Report (Signs Deal)
 

So he gets to keep all of his money in event he's cut. Then will get the full amount he signs with from the next team (with the same type of contract).

Not bad.

Re: RGIII Ready to Report (Signs Deal)
 

There is almost an incentive to try and play terrible just to get cut so you can go to the team you want, get a short year deal (play really well to get an extension), and double dip with the money from the team that drafted you.

Now the RG3 era can officially begin.

Now that he's signed, we can trade him for John Beck.

Re: RGIII Ready to Report (Signs Deal)
 

do rookie contracts allow signing extensions before the end of year 3? or is it the end of year two?

It's the Texans currently. From what I understand, Kyle Shanahan still has some pull with that organization. It may cost us our 2015-2017 first rounders along with Griffin, but I think we can swing it...maybe.

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;925258]do rookie contracts allow signing extensions before the end of year 3? or is it the end of year two?[/quote]Under new CBA, only after year 3.

Re: RGIII Ready to Report (Signs Deal)
 

[quote=RedskinsInNYC;925191]True. Perhaps the FO made the determination that the precedent it was setting would not necessarily govern the vast majority of future contracts it expects to negotiate (I'm a lawyer so am always focused on whether prior precedent is actually on point).

Does anyone know whether offset language is typically (or has ever been) included in the contracts of non-rookie free agents?[/quote]Not sure about non-rookie FAs, however you won't see the offset language in any rookie contract where that rookie has an ounce of leverage in negotiations.

Exactly.

This is THE John Beck we're talking here, not some crappy 50% completion, garbage time TD throwing chump here.

I say we package RGIII, a couple 1st's, and Kerrakpo and make this happen!

Kind of wish we had TWilliams under the new rookie wage scale. 11 million this year and embarassed us with failing two drug tests last year..

We joke now, but there were a lot of people here with massive hard ons for Beck. Sorry to get way off topic, but have they eaten crow yet? I feel that should be the natural progression; public humiliation and then we can joke.

From my understanding, thats exactly what it is. The field work is more conditioning and technique type stuff. Plus there is a fair amount of classroom work as well. Primarily trying to get them up to speed for when the real camp starts.

for the record, I was definitely looking forward to John Beck in place of Grossman, and even over other options like Dalton and/or the guy the Jags took. Clearly crow tasted particularly nasty after Beck's 3 outings :(

That said, I think that once McNabb fell through, the FO had set their sights on this year's class, and (minus Locker) were not ever going to do more last year. IF it means we got a bonafide 12 year+ starter then the crow will have a most pleasant after taste.

sidenote:
couldn't find a youtube link, but the scene in O Brother Where art thou, with the daughters telling Clooney about their mom's new beau is funny as hell when they say "he's bonafide"

I just watched three RG3 commercials on youtube. Man, those were some very explosive commercials. Sooner or later, Griffin is going to take up acting, especially if his career really takes off.

Do I expect him to be? No. Is it beyond the realm of possibility? Not yet. Is it likely? Not very.

Is it what I want? Yes.

If he does, would he take time off from his football career to play basketball? Hockey?
