Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson

We pay players for their production now, we don't overpay. Some teams overpaid this offseason, we didn't. We played a bit of chicken and it paid off for us.

Funny how being smart in free agency works. You know how many GMs are kicking themselves this morning reading the numbers? F*ckem, we ball.

Yep, if the negotiation was over in 30 minutes, it would be a sign we paid too much. The fact that it stretched on well into the night tells me Bruce hung in and did what was prudent, he made sure not to pay more than market value.

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.
