Redskins, Samuels Agree

[Daseal]

Coles is our "Star" receiver and he only wants to look like a star!! You see Randy Moss, Terrell Owens etc. making huge touchdown catches. Coles only had one TD catch last season, and very few long catches at all. I think with Coach feeling more comfortable this season with Ramsey, he'll air it out more. Coles just wants more attention and more TD's. If he gets that he won't be so disgruntled!! I mean, come on, lead the team in catches with 90 but only one TD!!!

Couldn't have anything to do with the system he was in preventing him from getting TDs. I mean - we only got like 4 TD's all year!

either way this should give us much needed cap room for next year even if we dont pursue people this year. Samuels had huge figures over the next two years. Good news though, im glad hes still a skin

smoot + pierce, get the ravens center... draft WR + DE + WR and sleep tight...

on coles... let him stay, if he says he'll play, let him see if he can get his attitude turned around, and prepare yourself just in case. If he's really looking for money, then sitting out a year isn't going to be an option for him.

I wouldn't take that to the bank, I'd be willing to bet Snyder is frantically working the phones as we speak trying to work something out at the last minute.

It's about f*%n time.

Don't mean to put a sour note on the news but I hope Samuels' new payday will not hurt his play on the field. The guy's been playing for a new contract the last few years and has been far from stellar. Now that he has his money I worry that his performance may become even more lackluster. This is probably his last big payday (given his age) and I hope he still has some fire left in him.

Remember Samuels is no longer an up-and-coming rookie with his best years ahead of him. Soon he will be referred to as an aging vet and I just hope his play will keep pace with his cap number in the future. Of course knowing the details of the deal will shed more light here.

That being said, I can't wait to get Samuels' ugly cap numbers off my sheets!
