Re: Redskins sign DE Stephen Bowen

I'd rather pay Bowen than AH.

Gotta pay a little more to pry away a guy that the Cowboys really wanted to keep.

And the Bears were throwing dough at him too. I wonder if it was strictly money why he came here. I'm sure the Dallas was within striking distance of what we gave him.

Not sure how. Dallas is in the running for NA and C. Jenkins as well. They probably banked on him taking less.

I think not. You don't play those games. Now who's laughing?

I think so. I shoot bottle rockets. The Hooters are crying.

... I think people's brains are starting to short circuit. It's like the guy dying of starvation who is suddenly given all the food he can eat.

Pass on NA, "Pretty please on Franklin", and "Please, please, please, I'll never ask for anything else again ever I promise, promise, promise, please please please" on Joseph (I have a 4 and 8 year old - can you tell?).

Re: Redskins sign DE Stephen Bowen

Dallas is not in the running for NA. It's down to the Texans and Jets...with the Texans having the financial (cap) advantage.

Cullen Jenkins is a possibility for them, but they're in competition with Denver and New Orleans.

Just going on a few reports I've seen. Those three (and 49ers) were discussed. I have a feeling he'll end up with the Jets after it's all said and done. That is unless he's strictly after the cash.

The Jets are going to be tough to pass on when we play them in the superbowl. Hopefully our 14 new players to play the front 7 just holds them to a shutout!

Positive thinking I like it. Can't wait for season predictions.

Re: Redskins sign DE Stephen Bowen

Cullen Jenkins would have been even more expensive. To me it seems like they went after C. Jenkins the price tag was a little too high and they dropped down to the next best option.

We now have a former Cowboy and former Giant on our D-Line, that can only help.

Re: Redskins sign DE Stephen Bowen

I don't think we can predict any percentages yet. Last year we did not have proper 3-4 personnel so we can't base anything on 2010.

Re: Redskins sign DE Stephen Bowen

Former Cowboys usually end up as disasters for us no matter how hard we try. Hopefully, the guy is a break from that trend.

Tweet Rick Mease via Grant Paulsen: Stephen Bowen said, "When free agency hit at 10 am, (Skins) called at 10:01"
