Gotta say im surprised. I had a pretty negative knee jerk reaction at first, but after thinking bout it more starting think this may be better than acquiring Jenkins. Thats still alot of money for guy who hasnt done alot, but obviously Dallas seems pretty devastated bout losing him, much more than Giants were then about losing Cofield. Hopefully his potential will grow into that contract. HTTR

Well to give him credit he did call McNabb to the Vikings way back during the draft. So 9 out 10.

Yeah your right.

I'm pissed. The one time the skins needs to go for the old vet in FA (Cullen Jenkins), they go for the young guy whose a backup.

I'm so pissed we're not getting Jenkins

You serious? Not sure if serious.


Have you not read anything posted in this thread or anything in the Dallas news? Dude's agent went back on a handshake deal with the Skins and tried squeeze them for more money. The Skins chose not to go down that road (which Vinny surely would have) with bidding against ourselves and went with a younger and cheaper player of the same mold. This isn't the Redskins fault even though you want to blame them. Come on man, think with that brain you were born with and stop blaming the FO for everything.

Also, Calm down bro.

Ok I've been out all day and heard this news quickly, not really detailed. I'm just now hearing this from you about the agent asking for more.

I wouldn't budge for more money, however Jenkins is far and beyond better than Bowen. Also not only will we not get a high impact, smart, super bowl, proven Vet, who knows this defense, but he could now be going to the Cowboys...Double dagger right there.

The Cowboys have cap problems. If they felt Bowen was out of their price range, do you really believe they'd be willing to pay Jenkins who seems to be asking for even more?

I sure hope they don't pay for Jenkins, but to the same extent, how are they still in the running for Nnamdi with his huge asking price? If they are in that running, then they shouldn't have a problem with Cullens money

Man, how dare the Redskins go after young players with a lot of potential, instead of aging vets looking for a payday [/sarcasm]

I'm all for getting younger, but this Jenkins signing is going to come back and bit us in the ass, especially if the cowboys get him. Getting Cullen Jenkins would be like another London Fletcher type of signing for us, and not a Fat Al signing.

WE'RE DOOMED GUYS!! WE'RE DOOMED!!

In the end Bowen will be a better signing than Jenkins, he's like another Jay Ratliff. He's bigger and more athletic than Jenkins and just starting to come into his own. Cowboy fans are crying for reason, let them have Jenkins, I think the skins got the better player.
