So you're in favor of overpaying for a CB, but not a LB?

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

depends on which corner and which linebacker you are talking about and i dont like overpaying anyone but if the guy deserves it

Contrary to popular belief, teams do outbid the Redskins. The Giants outbid us for Pierce and the Vikings for Smoot. Moreover, teams outbid us for other teams' free agents (e.g., the Eagles outbid us for Kearse, who we were reportedly interested in until we found out how much cake he wanted).

Pierce, the cerebral leader and top tackler in the third-ranked defense in the league last year, was poised to sign a six-year, $26 million contract, including a $6.5 million signing bonus, with the Giants. Pierce had said all along that he wanted to stay in Washington, but he also said he expected the type of payday that the Redskins have thrown at incoming players over the years.

The Redskins, however, are limited because of their spending splurges of recent seasons, including the $49.6 million they spent in bonuses to six new players over a four-day period a year ago.

In the end, that made Pierce's asking price too high. The team also noted that his deal with the Giants turned out to be better than the six-year, $24 million contract the Redskins gave linebacker Marcus Washington last year. Washington went on to make the Pro Bowl, while Pierce was a second alternate.

"We thought it was very important to have a salary structure here that makes sense for all our players," Gibbs said. "We went as far as we could go, I felt like."

Two years after we let Smoot and Pierce go because we wanted to keep a "salary structure that makes sense for all our players", our biggest needs in free agency are: MLB and CB. One step forward and two steps back.

I would be happy if Fred Smoot never suited up for Skins again. His mouth was always bigger than his play on the field.

That's just me. I guess anyone could play better than our corners last year. Who were they again? Some guy named Carlos and another guy named??????? Our depth at CB last year was an embarrassment and Vinny should be fired for that.

i think you mean gibbs, since he said "it's all on me" and "i have final say on everything."
