I think this is a little under market value too because of the timing. Only a handful of teams had the cap space to make this happen. If he was released at the end of February, he gets his $10M per season.

I was thinking the same which made it even more of a Dick move by Philly; if they had released him before FA started he would have easily been the number one FA this year.

Id be fine with him returning 15-20 punts a year. Kickoffs too. Imo you can get hurt just as easily in practice, at wr, or on returns.

Big moments only.

But hey, you can't get hurt when you TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE.

I was crushed in '08 when we passed on Jackson in the draft so I am certainly happy now.. The contract makes it even better since it doesn't seem like it straps us financially or will prevent us from doing anything we need to do over the next 2 offseasons either.

On the field, I have zero concerns. He opens things up for everyone else, not to mention the production he can put up. FINALLY, receiver is not a position of weakness. I'll put it out there that we've got the best skill position grouping (QB, WR, TE, RB) in the division even though we don't have the best player at any of the positions. This is a sum is greater type of deal.

In the draft, it opens up so much because now we can more easily either target Moses or Ward or decide to trade back and get an extra 2 or 3. If we spend a pick on a WR, it may be in the 4th or 5th but it won't be someone we're counting on to make an immediate impact. Also, now anything we get from Hankerson is a bonus.

All in all, great signing, HTTR!!!

Well thats the plan!

I've been saying for a while now that I think the cap penalty saved us from ourselves. Hopefully the Redskins have learned after the ordeal that it's important to not overpay players and to have depth. These two things go hand in hand. I think the Redskins went out and tried to win the offseason by adding the most depth and getting better deals at more spots instead of snatching up the best/highest payed players. Even though the DJax signing screams of the old way of doing business, the salary numbers suggest they are doing this much, much smarter. Color me impressed.

Eh, it's Allen's way regardless of the penalty.

This is the first offseason that Bruce Allen has really been in charge of player personnel here in Washington. Past FA mistakes, or the "same old Redskins" if you prefer, weren't Allen's doing, as far as I understand it. Is it a big change of culture, or is this merely Bruce Allen's way of doing things? I don't think a huge change came over everyone in the Redskins' FO; it's just that Allen's in charge now, and this is the result. I bet if Allen weren't here this offseason, we would have been the "same old Redskins."
