Chris Chester Restructures Deal to Stay with the Washington Redskins | The Skins Review

I hope there is no guaranteed money in either contract

Bleh.....I was hoping both of them would be gone.

To me, it makes zero sense to bring back orakpo. Why not develop Trent Murphy who was more productive last year, much cheaper, and much younger. I thought Murphy was a bit of a surprise, he played much stronger.

Chester, even though I would perfer not to bring him back, I understand bringing him back cause we don't have shit behind him.

Murphy is a strong guy and all but he has 0 pass rush. No explosiveness coming off the edge. Rak is a better pass rusher than Murphy but not sure that's saying too much.

As long as Rak's deal is for around 5 million or less, this is good news. It would be stupid to let him walk just based off this last season. He's still a very good pass rusher.

Hopefully Chester's deal is the vet min.

Orakpo has missed 26 games in six seasons.
I wouldnt pay him much at all.

Good catch.

Since he only plays 3/4 of the games in a season, he should get 3/4 of a paycheck.

Dez, Pierre-Paul franchised.

How much will McCourty cost? He is the one UFA I would be willing to spend some money on. After that, a solid blocking TE.

As much as I may get crucified for this, if Rak can be brought back for a reasonable price, I am all for it. Then, draft Shelton at 5.

I'd pass on overpaying McCourty. I know we need a FS badly but he's not a difference making type of player. I hope we don't sign him.

I guess agents are still going to use our name as leverage on other teams.
I heard a person (agent/exec?) on radio a few weeks ago tell this story:

Maybe 10 years ago or so, there was a relatively young agent and he was told to use the redskins to bid up the price for his client.

Young agent calls the redskins and says "player X may be available to you but it will cost Y amount of dollars." The agent said he picked a really high unreasonable number out of the sky. The redskins accepted without even counter-offering.

They wouldnt say who the agent or player was, I guessing archuleta.

thank goodness Vinny is gone. i listen to that dude on the radio and he cant form complete sentences. its like he blurts out parts of thoughts then cackles and tries to laugh his way through everything. he said bruce came in and fired everybody bc he didnt want anyone smarter than him in the room so bruce wouldnt look dumb.

vinny - didnt you fire everyone when the DS brought you back after he fired marty?

vinny rant off. that guy still bothers me.

If you listened to him Bill Cowher would be our head coach, Jim Haslett would be headed to the Hall of Fame, Adam Carriker would be our starting DE and Tanard Jackson would be our starting FS. Dude is a fountain of speculation and bad information.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I don't want Rak back at all.

[Chico23231]

The absolute dumbest thing this organization could do is go after Suh. If we sign Suh to an outrageous contract, I'm done
