Redskins rookie signing thread

REDSKINS4ever · 07-16-2012, 08:47 AM

The Redskins didn't draft Griffin III and give up so much for him if they didn't intend to make him a franchise quarterback and give him pay equivalent to that role. He'll be in camp on time.

if it is the offset that is stopping these top draft picks from signing, that sure seems like a bizarre spot to pick a fight. I didn't really think it would drag into one day of RGIII, Luck, or any of the others missing a day, rookie report or otherwise.

I agree. I wonder if the drama isn't agent-driven. If there is nothing to fight about, there's no real reason to have an agent...so perhaps agents will pick any battle that they can find, no matter how small.

Yup, also if there is an offset clause, I would imagine if it ever is invoked that means the agent is the one really losing out, so I can see them fighting tooth and nail to keep it out.

Good point.

Like the sig.

What about LeRibEye? Certainly he is not squabbling over offset language, is he?

RGIII · 07-16-2012, 10:21 AM

RGIII will miss one practice session, if any. It's the spirit of negotiating...

That's right. Low stress. Negotiating is fun. It's very human.

Looking at Rookie reporting dates, anyone know why ours is so early (not like the Bills though, their rookies reported on the 9th...)

It's awesome is what it is!

What's baffling to me is why is it taking so long sign Josh LeRibeus. He was a third round draft pick. If Griffin's contract situation is close to him signing, then what about LeRibeus?

Try reading back just a few posts.

Will be interesting to see what if anything the Bucs do with Mark Barron (#7 pick). Their rookies are permitted to report tomorrow. After that, we're looking at the Browns/Trent Richardson, whose rookies report July 24. Colts rookies report the next day, July 25. In my opinion, that's the day the offset-language chips fall where they may (and just in time for Redskins camp).

It would of course be ideal to have RGIII in there now, but the Redskins FO has to have seen this coming - especially after they set such an early date for rookies to report as compared to the Colts.

FFS Griff, get your young ass in camp!
