[quote=That Guy;530798]monster signings for guys switching teams tend to be flames out (champ, arch, lloyd, kearse, berry, etc etc etc).

we'll see though.[/quote]

Not entirely true...

Reggie White Eagles to packers

turned out pretty well for the Pack

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

TJ Whowsyourmama also mentioned Seattle, so hopefully he goes there.

BTW... props to SmootSmack for predicting Hall would get his deal... i pretty much lost faith earlier this evening.

True but thats the guy everyone is compared to. Reggie was one of a kind. Truly loved the game. And I dont think he comanded 100M

Hey what about that 44 guy. He's been sayin all along Hall would get paid. I'll just give myself props. Good call 44. Thanks.:pimp:

[quote=Ruhskins;530811]I hope he's right about Jason Brown coming here too.[/quote]

But like someone else said it's probably Brown or Dock not both, especially if we sign everyone's new sweetheart Canty ;)

... very tough call IMO. Brown will cost more, maybe much more, but is also more versatile. Dock knows our guys, our coach and of course we know him.

I hear you, Reggie's deal if I remember correctly was a huge contract. He's a game changer one of the best ever. AH is a game changer too

Phone ringing off the hook! Money calling!!

Looks like we may dodge the Haynesworth bullet.

Phew

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

who cares about timmy h...and it's like the only signing so far so of course it will get mentioned. Hall will not be the only overpaid player when its all said and done.

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

LOL

from the above link:

"This is a club that desperately needs to improve its pass rush (28th in the league in sacks). Canty is a versatile guy who can move inside in the nickel and do a nice job. He's also decent against the run.[B] But he's another guy who might have six or seven sacks a game at the most[/B]."

I'm pretty sure he meant tackles... I hope lol

You mean the Dallas sports writer Matt Moseley? Yeah, he's not biased

[quote][B]The Redskins already have players like Canty. Andre Carter is a similar player[/B] who can stand up and block some passes from the line of scrimmage. The Redskins need players who will scare quarterbacks. Canty's not one of those guys.[/quote]

Andre Carter is 253 lbs, Canty is 302ish lbs, how is that similar? Canty is good against the run, Carter isn't. Other than the money issue, I really don't get Moseley.

:laughing2 That article says, "But he's another guy who may have 6 or 7 sacks a game at the most". I'll take 6 or 7 sacks a game anytime! Especially against the Cowgirls!

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

they signed Robin williams!! to play free saftey/fullback!!! 56 yr/$9.7billion dollar deal. another goood desicion by us. yay robin williams

[quote=The Goat;530805]Hey bro, w/ Rogers and Hall we don't have to worry about TJ in Philly or NY, especially if NY doesn't resign Ward and Philly doesn't get a great RB to complement Westbrook. I see the NFC East much more evenly matched than last couple of years.[/quote]

hall isn't as good as springs, who he's (I assume) replacing. we'll see though.

I think he meant tackles, although that's a big mistake. Yeah, we want to not pursue a guy that can put up 6 sacks a game. LOL. Heck, I'll take 6 to 7 tackles a game too, and I think Canty can be successful with our team, Moseley is just being his old biased self.

that's one (great) example, but most of the time that's just not how it works. QBs and monster deals with guys your team already has are a completely different deal too, since you tend to have a much better idea of what you're getting.

He might have meant 6 or 7 sacks a season, which still inst too bad.

how many DEs can get 96-112 tackles a year? that'd be a great reason to pay him top dollar, not shy away.

it's probably sacks per season, but he'd be the big guy to take space for JT and carter or whatnot - which definitely IS NOT a sack heavy position.

Matt Mosley's post on Canty = Epic Fail.

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

Hey 53 should I jump over to the Giants forum and start a thread to let Giantone and the gang know that we signed Hall:) Now the stupidity of what he did with that Jacobs thread seems even more clear.

[quote=That Guy;530838]hall isn't as good as springs, who he's (I assume) replacing. we'll see though.[/quote]

Hall may not be as good as Springs but at least Hall puts in full seasons, which is more than what Springs can say over the last few years....

On top of that Hall's a lock to get us a few turnovers. I'll go on record right now and predict four or five Int's for Hall should he play 14 games next year.
