It's kinda hard to blame the skins for not trying to overpay someone who made it clear he only cared about cashing out as far back as LAST offseason.

I think the standard Redskins Free agency deal of 10 mil gaurenteed and 5 or 7 years would have gotten it done mid way through last season. The problem the skins always have with reuping their own players before they become free agents is that they never have any cap room left during the season to do it. They always need to rescructure 2 other players before they can resign one. That's why alot of their top players end up going to free agency. When the skins resign one of their own players to an extension it usually ends up being when they have multiple years on the current deal and as a result the skins usually end up with cap relief in the short term.
