Never could quite understand that with all of the complicated adjustments to cap figures , why cant the NFL level the playing field with respect to cap space related to local taxes... gives some teams a massive advantage

Well how far can you go with that really? Some cities will always have an advantage when it comes to cost of living, weather, schools, etc.

The Patriots play in Taxachusetts so obviously that hasn't hurt them.

Yeah I see your point, but I think there are some fairly cut and dried differences like state taxes which could be accounted for. In the end it depends on where the player wants to go , but we see so often that money talks and players often go for the highest offer

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings 2020

Kendall Fuller - plug him right back in slot. If they dont add anyone else I guess that means we hope Dunbar reports and Moreau is CB2. if our window opening is 2022, that gives us this and next offseason to find our legit CB1 and CB2.

He should offset the Flowers comp pick.

KC fans seems to think he was underpaid, appreciated his services.

Hooper - I would have paid 4/44. But ... if this year is a "get your feet wet" year and we really are realistically looking at next year 2022 as our competition window then we have some time to find our 3 down TE. But man ... Hooper seemingly checked all the boxes.

Wes Schweitzer - sounds like hes our version of Bergstrom. Plays all over the line, ideal as depth guy but is a great locker room guy. Honestly Id rather have this guy for his contract vs Flowers at 10M AAV.

Im really interested to see how they use Fuller...I don't think he is an outside Corner. Slot Corner who in some packages could be a safety. Fuller is a playmaker tho.

I like the Schweitzer signing because it was a sign of a solid plan if they lost Flowers.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings 2020

Fuller back is cool, not as high in him as most but he's a good #3

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings 2020

Hooper didn't check all boxes, he's just best of a mediocre crop. Mediocre blocker, which we've lacked at TE for years. Draft is light on TEs so maybe we're seeing whether we coukd get Hunter or Njoku in a swap with TW?

Hope we go after Boston at least. Looks like a good fit.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings 2020

You can keep Cooper. Don't want him. I just remember that Eagles game at the end of the season. Their season is on the line and he's out there dropping passes and running weak ass routes. I see why Gruden didn't want him. When you need him to be a pitbull he turns into a chihuahua.

Good to have Fuller back. He never should have left.

He turned 33 today, happy birthday. A 4 year deal with an acceptable 2 year out would not be bad. Hes productive.

I'll take him with a smile on my face. One of my favorite non-skins players in the NFL.

Same, him working with McLaurin (Who he reminded me of on draft night) on things will only help. He is still productive
