That title still belongs to either Denver or the Patriots.

seems like BA and the FO did a great job of 1) securing DJax first visit was with us and 2) putting in the time and effort to squeeze out a reasonable contract and not caving b/c of reported interests by the raiders et al.

seems like a competent FO by all accounts.

im sure jason segal more than once tried to act like he had to go to the west coast to hear those offers and im sure more than once the skins politely and professionally reeled him back in.

i did not think we could sign d jax for a reasonable FMV contract but bruce pulled it off.

Very reasonable contract. The same old Skins would have made him the highest paid WR in the league. Hoping we can finally put that to bed now.

This is a fantastic point, one that was bugging me badly yesterday. If they did pay him like that, he would've done nothing, as is par for the 'Skins.

Hope it works.

Also lets put to bed the fact that the Eagles got rid of him because of some article NJ.com posted about gang ties. His pending paycheck, and his relationship with Kelly had nothing to do with gangs. Lol. Nobody from the Eagles organization ever accused him of gang ties.

Yeah it was an obvious smear attempt by the Eagles. Unfortunately too many people bite on that stuff hook line and sinker.

Some of the stuff was obviously overblown. But let's not act like he's doesn't have any issues either.

On a related note (couldnt find a 2014 draft thread) i hope now we can also put to bed the need to snag another pass catching tight end in the draft. If we draft anything other than a cb, safety, or olineman I will be a little upset. I still say grab the best available c, rg with that second round pick.

This move definitely opens things up in the draft to go hard after defense and offensive line.

I think we'd all like to see this happen.

Nevertheless, if we have enough cap space left, I'd love to see the Skins pick up one of De La Puenta, Winston, or Clabo. Then, I'd like to see one or two OL drafted, as well.

I will deservedly get slammed for this, based on all my previous snide comments about Winston. But here I go:

Eric Winston was and is a quality RT who has been on 3 teams in 3 years - Red Flag

Eric Winston had very little traction at the start of FA - Red Flag

Eric Winston is 30 years old - yellow flag

Eric Winston and Ryan Clark were work together on the NFLPA, where Winston just beat out Clark for presidency - connection

Eric Winston is a SERIOUS upgrade over Polumbus.

Shoot me now for saying this

We ought to sign Winston and cut Polumbus now.

Winston gave up 7 sacks last year, pass

Depends on what Gruden think of Paulesen, but my lean is in the 4th or 5th we are grabbing a TE. Reed needs to prove he can stay healthy. Gruden offense runs the 2 TE set a sh*t ton
