I can't believe Champ got a 4-year deal. I highly doubt he'll be able to play it out to the end.

He's 32 and has never had a Major Injury, I think he can.

Groin tear in 2008, missed 7 games,nearly half the season.

He's just slowing down and his production is on a steady decline...that's more concerning than injury risk.

He hasn't had more than 3 INTs since 2006 and his tackles/pass deflections are both falling...and I don't think it's because opposing QBs are avoiding him more in his old age than they did in his prime when he was getting 8 or 10 INTs a year.

Well that could be because teams dont throw his way much, Asomugha doesn't get many picks either. Champ surely is slowing down though.

Unless with the new CBA all of this goes away.

I am imagining that the whole reason these teams were fast and furious with the franchise tags was because there is an assumption on the owners part that a new CBA will have some provision protecting clubs that used tags or RF Tenders. Even if they were to go away, some sort of right of first refusal for this year would be in place (again, I imagine)

Geez, wasn't Hicks and Brown in similiar situations ? We took a gamble on whether they could bounce back- they didn't. Different injuries but Jansen wasnt the same after a year off. Mike Williams may still come back- I think we need ABLE bodies signed for low vet salaries and that would be solid for the team (fingers crossed).

Guys , what's the word on the kid Rob Henson. He was a beast in pre-season for us then got hurt. Is he still with the Skins?? I remember him tearing it up at the linebacker position.
