They can, though I'm not sure it makes sense to do so.

Re: Laron Landry - Redskin for life?

From what I have heard - - not from Landry or his agent nor from Bruce Allen - - Landry is aiming for $35M guaranteed in his next deal.

Let me ASSUME that is the right number. If that is what it will take to sign him, I would show him the door and thank him for his services to the Redskins up until that moment.

LaRon Landry is a one-trick pony. Someone here said his coverage skills are improving; I have to admit that I do not see that improvement. Unless his coverage skills improve by 100% between now and New Years Day, he is never going to be more than an average safety in the NFL who makes a lot of highlight reel hits.

Well, at that price, he's not going to get that from any team, so it's not realistic.

He's the no. 2 safety on the market right now after Oakland's Tyvon Branch. The second largest contract to a safety this past year was given to Michael Huff, who got $16 million guaranteed.

It's probably going to cost more than $10 million in guaranteed money to resign Landry, but I don't think he's getting anywhere close to $36 million. Probably not even in total money.

Does'nt a transition tag mean a player can go get his best deal and we can match it. I think that Landry's value is probably a lot less than he is worth, if he ever stays healthy again. Also, most teams dont even make an offer because they know all the other team has to do is match the offer.
