Agreed

Re: Jarmon signed
 

Outstanding

Re: Jarmon signed
 

Good deal...one to go! It's the big boy!

Re: Jarmon signed
 

Just need some guys that were drafted around Orakpo to get signed and his deal will fall into place quickly.

Re: Jarmon signed
 

anyone know how his contract stacks up with other "3rd rounders?" It might be an interesting point that by getting this guy in the supplemental draft and using our pick a year early, we're actually saving money because of the annual jump of the salaries, i.e. a 2009 3rd rd pick is cheaper than a 2010 3rd rd pick.

i hope your right. but what makes you think so?

Re: Jarmon signed
 

i really like the personality and mind set of this jarmon kid from everything ive read. seemed like he was a good student, hard worker, quality person even did some college plays.

just comes across so far as a well grounded appreciative guy who will hold himself accountable, seems like he he set the example for on the field and off the field stuff for the wildcats too.

i just really like humble hard working players like this (i think orakpo is also of the same mind set - quality person who only wants to live breath and think football)

good job by the skins in drafting talent and dedication.

go skins!!

Re: Jarmon signed
 

Getting Jarmon signed is a relief! Now all we need is a big improvement in the O-line. I know I keep saying this, and I hate to state the obvious, but we're in for a losing season if we don't get stronger there.

Not necessarily. As long as someone prior to him gets signed they can pretty much figure out what he will make and the top two plus one other has been signed prior to his draft spot. I'm betting it's just finalizing the finer details

See, I know this is the weak spot, and it's worth mentioning, right after the draft, but at that the same time, who could the FO have brought in that would have made a huge upgrade? Who could they bring in now?

Since you keep saying it, I will keep saying my counterpoint. Our Line is deep (except Samuels) with mid level talent. Teams have won with lesser lines, and every position has a backup who can come in and maintain the level(I am kinda giving E. Williams (C) a boost here, but I don't think he would be a noticeable drop from Rabach). If after one or 2 preseason games, we see we don't have a player to sub in for Samuels, we will have to look at the other teams cuts, but overall, we should be able to plug and chug with the best of the teams. This is different then last year when our 1st line was tattered(Kendall Thomas Heyer), and our second line couldn't keep up (Jansen and Geisinger). Our First line is younger (fresher) and our second is more able. This is my belief, with the understanding that a backup LT will be an invaluable pickup at some point (Levi Jones after he knows he's not gonna start for some other team and lowers his pay req'ts)

um yeah that's what I meant

Re: Jarmon signed
 

Just saw his video with Al Michaels on Redskins.com. He really seems like a good guy, the kind of guy you want in the locker room. Great pickup!

I hope he's a quick study and can beef up in the weight room ASAP. We may need him if someone goes down..

Of course, I was also excited about Erasmus last year who failed me.. But in contrast Jarmon is a promising rookie who has great potential (vs. Erasmus who was an injured bust who we tried out)..

Re: Jarmon signed
 

Being that we're in a recession this is going to be a slow process. Like Matty said, if the guys around him don't start signing then most likely he won't be here the 1st day of camp. I think that's what happened in '07 with LL so it just depends on negotiations and the slotting of the players.

Re: Jarmon signed
 

There are still 20 2nd round picks unsigned, that's also kinda crazy

Re: Jarmon signed
 

Man, people griped about AH's deal. What if we give Orakpo Sanchez like money! that would screw up the whole curve, who knows we could start a whole hold out issue for the teams around us! LOL

LOL

I to had high hopes for Erasmus. Very dissapointed that he couldnt stick.

Re: Jarmon signed
 

i really liked him in the interview, sounded pretty grounded. thank god that thursday is almost here, i am psyched to watch him start hitting people.

It is the exact same money as the 83rd pick of this year.
83 New England Brandon Tate - WR 4 year $2.505 contract, $755,000 signing bonus
SUP Washington Jeremy Jarmon - DE 4 year $2.505 million contract, $755,000 signing bonus

I guess it's because this guy is the middle pick in the draft. It's cool though, probably saved some money because I bet the numbers go up next year, because they always go up and also the no cap thing would raise prices.

It's kind of crazy how few 1st rounders are signed right now. Sanchez, Stafford, Oher, Mack, Eric Wood, and Ziggy Hood. That's it. 6 out of 32 and it's almost August.

Well I found this article stating that [URL="http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/741095.html"]Aaron Maybin may be a hold out for Buffalo[/URL], which may be bad for us since his signing and Tyson Jackson's would influence what type of deal Orakpo gets. [URL="http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/messages/chrono/16307010/0/0/16307397"]Jackson has not been signed either[/URL]...so any word what's going on with Orakpo?

No idea, although [URL="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/hanging-with-mr-zorn.html#more"]Zorn said he doesn't expect Orakpo to report on time[/URL]. We have a unique position with our 1st round pick since we're asking him to change positions to a degree, so every second of camp is that much more valuable.

I understand agents want to wait and see what kind of money players picked near their clients sign for, however someone has to be the first to sign. We need Rak in camp ASAP.

You think it's because the NFL is headed into the final year of the labor agreement?

Maybe agents are trying to secure more money this year in case of a lock out after this year.

...Pure speculation on my part of course.

I mean this would be a good story for the sports media to address, but of course they are too busy not letting go of the Brett Favre's non-story :doh:

GMScud, thanks for the heads up on Zorn's comments. I agree with you, Orakpo needs to be in camp, I hope we get him signed pretty soon.

Absolutely. I think the prospect of 2010 being uncapped is playing a big role.

Add Heyward-Bey to the list:

This may be close enough for Orakpo to get slotted, did you all know that Ben Dogra represents Orakpo and Heyward Bey.

Dogra represents:
1. Lions: QB Matthew Stafford (Tom Condon/Ben Dogra); signed April 25.

2. Rams: OT Jason Smith (Ben Dogra/Michael Lartigue); unsigned.

7. Raiders: WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (Tom Condon/Ben Dogra); signed

12. Broncos: RB Knowshon Moreno (Tom Condon/Ben Dogra); unsigned.

13. Redskins: LB Brian Orakpo (Ben Dogra/Michael Lartigue); unsigned.

14. Saints: CB Malcolm Jenkins (Ben Dogra/Tom Condon); unsigned.

15. Texans: LB Brian Cushing (Tom Condon/Ben Dogra); unsigned.

19. Eagles: WR Jeremy Maclin (Ben Dogra/Jim Steiner); unsigned.

Not positive but I don't think there would be big enough of a difference to make it a major hurdle in the negotiations.

Orakpo can't be locked up. Hopefully we sign him soon though. :)

Re: Jarmon signed
 

I wonder if he can rip Romo the way he rips chains.

Re: Jarmon signed
 

Jason Smith signed. that means Dogra's team has their top 3 picks signed, I hope that means the next groiup(including Orakpo) will sign very soon.
