Except 4M is a pretty high number for a garbage back up, isn't it?

I've read that it is more like 2 mil.

Re: Redskins Free Agency Thread

if it wasn’t something continuous with this team and it’s garbage front office and strategy I’d agree..but the fact they are doing relatively early in free agency says these are somehow priority moves.

The time of defending Bruce clearly over..the continued problems we at the same positions is easy to see why they happen.

Guard, oline depth, QB, WR, safety....these have been ongoing issues for years

Re: Redskins Free Agency Thread

One year 4 mill. If he can play guard even halfway decent im fine with it. Will not take much to upgrade that position. 24 years old. Who knows. Maybe we found a starter at guard.

Re: Redskins Free Agency Thread

I am not fan of the Flowers signing but I don't think it's big deal as long as Redskins doesn't view him as a good candidate to start at LG. I am disappointed Redskins haven't put in more efforts to upgrade LG so far.

Re: Redskins Free Agency Thread

Somebody please explain the Redskins logic in free agency. They have lots of positions where they need starters, not backups, special team guys or camp fodder. Wouldn't it be better to get one starter for the same money you can get 4 scrubs for? Other than Collins the signings have been for guys who will be lucky to make a good team's 53 man squad.

That is why the Skins are signing them. They aren't good. Have a HC in purgatory. Players upset at fans. Visiting fans taking over the home stadium. $20+ mill hamstrung in a QB that cannot play and if he decides to retire 40 mil against the cap this year. If you are a player with options this is not really an ideal place to play right now.

Still terrible. Cap hit of $3.0M if he's on the team. If he plays a lot then it goes up to $4.0M.

One of the worst Redskins moves I can remember.

Agree. Cannot wait to hear the spin on the pod.
