You should hear the butt hurt from the raiders out here.

seen all this before, Dan Snyder move written all over it just like McNabb... plenty of ecstatic redskins fans after that one as well.

Another off season championship locked up.

As always I desperately hope I'm wrong and suddenly Dan Snyder fantasy football starts to be a viable team building strategy, or maybe he just gets lucky at some point and it just works out for him, much like his business success where he bankrupted his dad multiple times before he finally accidentally got rich on the 90's big fake "consulting" business fad.

Snyder I feel is more than worthy of a lot of criticism. I imagine that if someone decided to do a show about nightmare bosses Snyder would be on the short list. And given some of the stuff he's done with litigation and the like as well as other things its clear the guy is no saint.

With that said I feel like the one criticism that keeps getting thrown Snyders way in spite of being most unfair is that he has continued to meddle with front office football decisions. I'd say he's actually been quite the opposite, as his involvement in football matters seems to be doing what fans wanted him to do all along, simply open up the vault and sign the checks when needed.

Now maybe thats a product of Allen and Shanahan doing a great job of setting up boundaries, maybe its a product of Snyder taking a lot of the criticism to heart following the 2009 season, but regardless I think at this point its fair to say that his involvement in football decisions is limited at best. Certainly not much different than the level of involvement you see from guys like Kraft and Allen, at least in regards to football matters.

The Eagles message board I saw earlier today showed me theres no shortage of smart and insightful Eagle fans. That really shouldn't surprise me but I guess its something we don't think about here in our own little bubble that is Redskin Nation.

With that said there was certainly no shortage of fans that fit the stereotypical profile of 'those crazy Philly hooligans.' Kind of sad to see a couple of people ruin it for everyone but at least as Skins fan on the outside looking in those type of outburst are certainly humorous.

Kind of like as a kid in school where you couldn't help but laugh seeing one of your classmates get chewed out by a teacher but certainly no fun when you find yourself on the recieving end.

Now the Eagles will be on the opposite side of plays like this:

Ironically we think of Barry Sanders as the quintessential 'been there before' guy but you know a guy has experience making big plays when he's confident enough to look back like that during a large gain. I'd imagine most guys that have never scored a TD in their life would be running like their life depended on it. Though personally I would prefer if the theatrics were kept to a minimum.

Way to go BA for getting this done. DJax welcome to the skins!! For those who don't agree with this deal, GET OVER IT. Now let's have a strong draft and let's do this! HTTR

6 words I never thought I'd say in my lifetime: Welcome to the Redskins DeSean Jackson. I love the fact that it's only a 3 year deal, it means it will be easy to get rid of him if necessary. Heard it's a huge contract though, so I'm gonna say 3 years/39 mil/15 mil signing bonus. I'm beginning to warm up to this deal, but I'm still wary of the fact at this time next year he might be whining about his deal.

He might be whining or might not. I guess we are going to find out but we had to take a chance on him. Our offense should be really fun to watch this year. Defense needs to step up now.

DeSean Jackson's 3-yr deal with the Redskins is worth $24 million, including $16 million guaranteed, per @DarrenHeitner.

A little worried about that guaranteed money, but 8 mil per is less than some people were predicting.
