Laron Landry - Redskin for life?

[skinster]

The issue with Landry is that he was a top pick and hasn't played poorly. You look at the second contracts guys get, and being a former high pick plays a big role for some reason. Ryan Clark played great for us but no one gave him a contract. Lavaar played like shit his last year here and got offered something like 35 mil. Deangelo Hall hasn't had one good year in his career and has gotten two huge contracts. I'm sure london fletcher's 1st contract from buffalo wasn't anything special. Reggie Bush didnt deserve to be making 5 mil a year. Eli Manning didn't belong anywhere near the 100 mil qb club when he got his offer.

When players get a rookie contract of 30 mil, its hard to tell them (after they have supposedly improved over the past few years) that they now deserve a 15 mil contract (not that I think Landry deserves 15 mil). Of course this phenomenon doesn't hold true even close to 100%, but there does seem to be a strong correlation.

I just think Landry is going to make more money than he's worth, simply because he was picked so high. I hate "potential"
