I heard my man Czaban ripping the Skins over $500,000 when it was that Minnesota gave him most of his money early and Washington wasn't. The Skins know what they are doing and for the folks who come aboard there is a lot of money to be made if they stay. They are so good even Peter King had to bow down show respect. Like Joe Gibbs said, Everyone can do what we are doing, they just choose not to !


F'n HAIL !!!!

That is exactly who i was thinking of. Smoot left because all the money was "back ended". I was always pissed about that but really is it possible that current players on the team have seen this stuff happen will be much more less likely to agree to these deals when it comes time to become free agents? We do an amazing job reworking contracts and just tacking on years and pushing back signing bonuses and money but if we do let a player become a free agent it must be hard if they really have seen what has happened.

We all know what we do. We all said this about brunell. We knew he wouldn't see a lot of his money. He reworked his contract but if he didn't i think he would have been cut this next year.

The rest of the league should be taking notes. The way we divide signing bonuses and push back money may not make us friends but it got us a hole lot of damn good players
