Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Boom! Locked him up. Sends great message to players trying to earn theirs. This is starting to look like a well run organization.

(please stay healthy, please stay healthy, please stay healthy)

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Yeah everyone repeat after me...

Jordan Reed is healthy. Jordan Reed is healthy.

lol

Great message and honestly this is awesome. One less thing to worry about

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Wait ... what?? We sign an all-pro who can't wait to play against some of the best WR's in the game. We extend our own home-grown talent at reasonable cap-friendly prices. We draft tough, talented football players???

It's almost like we are a well-run organization. I am so confused.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

I remember that footage of him and SM on the bench after the playoff loss talking, really stuck in my head.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Don't let your head explode Joe 😃

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Remember when we let folks like Ryan Clark and Antonio Pierce walk so we could sign guys like Adam Archuletta?

How's this for a change:

Redskins keeping their own
7/29/2015 Ryan Kerrigan - 5 yrs, $57.5M
8/29/2015 Trent Williams - 5 yrs, $66M
5/5/2016 Jordan Reed - 5 yrs, $50M [/quote]

That's some solding building blocks right there.

This is awesome, glad we have this handled.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Yeah we finally are figuring this whole how to be a NFL franchise thing out

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Great news!!!! HTTR

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

that is a lot of money for a guy who misses 5 games a year. I want to see the details.. signing bonus, guaranteed money

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

that is great news.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

In my opinion, Jordan Reed equates to the GZA in the Wu Tang Clan when it comes to our offense. Reliable, less vocal, but shows leadership in his craft. Lyrically, a step above good MCs

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

22 Mil guaranteed.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Don't mind the contract if he can stay healthy. He's definitely a talent.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Awesome, I feel much better about getting this done now than next year.
Less distraction for the guy, and less dicking around we have to do later.
Our next season is shaping up nicely.

For the Bruce Allen haters, Jordan Reed is a BA guy.

Great point, credit where it's due. Allen pulled the trigger on that pick, but it was a draft board developed by the same scouting staff that McCloughan currently employs.

What's interesting to think about is whether McCloughan's culture that he brought in last year (tough, passionate players who play with high effort) rubbed off on Reed.

He really exploded last year. Was that a function of being healthy last year? Certainly. Was it also a function of working hard last year? Definitely. How much does the team's culture influence how hard a player works? Great question to think about, impossible to answer. But I can tell you it doesn't hurt!

Everyone deserves credit on Reed. Allen and staff picked him. McCloughan set a vision for a culture and implemented it. Gruden and McVay found ways to put him in position to succeed. Cousins knew how to get him the ball. And Reed himself busted his tail.

I just feel like the team's culture and character of the locker room has an unquantifiable impact on the work ethic and performance of all 53. It's the biggest reason that I feel like we genuinely can hope to contend for championships before 2020.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Gotta give Jay G a ton of cred...he loves the TE position and made him the red zone focal point. Schemed him off the line putting him in winning situations

I think Reed's expolsion was mainly because he could keep himself on the field but I am sure the culture helped him along.

Another BA point is a lot of these contracts are his doing, I don't think Scott M is a great money guy. BA and SM make a great one two punch for our front office.

Just wanted to give BA some love.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Reed grew up last year. Nice that we're rewarding our own.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Obviously he is one of the best when he's healthy. Good job to lock him up. This FO knows what they're doing. I just prey that he doesn't get another concussion or two.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Yeah and on concussions. Do you guys think there are some players that are just prone to getting them more easily than others? Or do you think that Reed having a few in his early years was more just a function of bad luck, with the rule of small samples leading people to improperly conclude that he is injury prone?

Part of me figures that maybe some guys get a concussion more easily than others, and some of it may be just not knowing exactly how to protect yourself. But the other side of me says it's just bad luck - you either got hit in the head or you didn't.

If it was constantly an issue of soft tissue injuries I'd definitely label him injury prone, but I'm not sure the concussions weren't just a couple rotten-luck events clustered together.

Was there ever a contract you liked? Scot don't got to show you no stinkin' details. The deal is done.

One word: Schweet!

yeah, I think anyone could get a concussion.

Did anyone see the concussion study being done?

I'll probably botch some of the details (i included link at end), but the jist is they studied the woodpecker who bangs their head 80 million times in their lifetime with presumably minimal damage.

They discovered the woodpecker's tongue muscle actually wrapped around their brain & reduced the vein pressure, keeping more blood in the head cavity...essentially eliminating air space between the brain & cranium, which reduces movement & force that the brain could be tossed around.

So, based on that, they used a U shaped collar that slips over the back of a player's neck to reduce the blood flow from the jugular so that more blood stays in the head cavity, reducing air space.

So, hopefully, there will be a medical breakthrough on that front some time soon.

here's the link......

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

As I noted in the Josh Norman thread, SM has taken the scattershot approach from previous years and morphed it into a single purpose build model - Build for consistent success with tough talented "football players" and championships will follow. To do so, focus on growing your own to grow the right culture so it passes from locker room to locker room.

As demonstrated by the extensions to Reed, Williams, and Kerrigan, soon enough, we won't need to sign older players who will "help create the right culture" (like we did last year with Knighton & Goldson and in previous years like Ryan Clark & others) b/c the young guys will [I]have[/I] the right mindset and the "right culture" will already exist.

As GM, BA (with Shanahan admittedly) found some talented, tough "football players": Reed, T. Williams, Kerrigan, Morris, Paul, Breeland (and possibly Moses, Long, Murphy).
The problem was they weren't necessarily [I]aiming[/I] for the mindset or building around it. They just got talented guys who happened to have that mindset.

Scotty McC has a coherent vision for the [I]long term [/I]viability of this team as a winner. Conversely, as coach, Gruden [I]should[/I] be solely focused on winning [I]next[/I] year (not for job-security reasons, but because, as coach, that's where his focus should be).

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

^^ nailed it Joe.

Side note, Mosses and Long fit this description. They are now going to be key pieces in keeping it that way

great insight....well said

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Love it.

He has been practicing all off season blocking CBs without holding.

He is going to be great.

How did the Culliver, Hatcher, Roberts, contracts work out ?

I think Hatcher and Roberts were pre-McLovin.

Plus, the Culliver contract was awesome. Tons of potential upside (that didn't work out) and a get out of jail free card for the team.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

a little too early for my liking. reed has proved 2 things since he has been in DC.
1. he is a beast( when healthy)
2. he is injury prone
if the skins are going to make cousins "prove" he isnt a fluke, then why not reed?

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

Reed's ability to produce has never been in question, just his ability to stay on the field which he did last year. Big difference between giving a TE big money and a QB too. His prove it year was last year.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

5 concussions in the past 5 years. I think 4 have been documented, 1 highly suspected but not reported.

I love what Reed brings but 22 mil guaranteed is a big investment for his injury history.

Re: Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension
 

There's risk with everyone, it's football folks. If we don't pay him someone else does next year.
