Re: Josh Norman CB is a Redskin

50 million? Sorry but I would have passed. Way too much money for someone with one great year. As I said, almost all of the time when teams go out and overpay on a guy in free agency they RARELY get that return back on to the field.

The positive is he fills an immediate need. That's great. But I would not have done this deal. No way.

It really depends on how that 50m is structured. And I can't remember where a recent contract was just a bad deal for the team (or player really) I think the skins really write fair contracts overall

Re: Josh Norman CB is a Redskin

As we all know by now the money is pretty irrelevant, this is all about character.

If McLovin is on board with this move then so am I. Exciting!!

Well looking back on Jackson's overall production since he's been here, I'd say we're not quite getting the return on that investment. I'd like for Jackson to play a full season and see him get the numbers he had under Chip Kelly.

The team last season was very different (in a good way) when Jackson was on the field. No one can predict injuries, yet with injuries he made a difference.

Free agents, like draft picks, are a gamble. Yet there are plenty of examples of FAs who have worked out: Garcon, DJax, Lynch, Palmer, Brees, Fitz, Revis, Talib, Steve Smith Sr., etc., etc.

I do think that you can't JUST build through the draft. You do have to add free agents. My issue is giving Norman the huge contract. Time will tell if he lives up to it. My guess is he won't.
