(MERGE): Redskins Sign London Fletcher

[redskins5044]

Pierce signed a six-year, $26 million contract yesterday, but kept his promise of providing the Redskins an opportunity to match New York's offer. The Redskins felt that the deal -- which included a $6.5 million signing bonus -- was too expensive and would damage their offseason plans even more.

this is from the WP after he signed with the giants. similar contract we just payed a 31 year old LB. i know he is an improvement over what we had last year. but just an example of how we dont pay the players we bring up the organization.

I feel like this is getting beat to the ground, but I'll say it again... Look at the contracts that are being given out right now. The salary cap is 30% bigger this year than it was back when we didn't match the giants offer. You have to be relative with these bonuses.
