Redskins Could Become a Suitor for Strahan?

DGreene28 · 08-02-2007, 10:07 AM

This guy has been a pain in the arse for the Redskins for over a decade. If we could get him in here at a resonable price he would be worth it for the two games vs the Giants alone. He is a very vocal leader who could inspire our team the way the Lavar did last year.

If we could make this happen for the right financials then it would be a no brainer... Strahan has enough in the tank to rotate in at DE and stay fresh this season. Plus it would be worth it to see the look on Giants fans when he dons the burgandy and Gold.

This guy hs never done that much against us. Jansen has gotten the better of him for most of his career. Yes, he has a lot of sacks, but he's not a great football player. If he had played against Jansen every game, he would have about 10 career sacks.

I do agree that Lavar inspired our team last year, by not playing for us.

I meant inspire the Giants to pummel us last season. I think you need to go back and look at the tape. Maybe he didn't come up with the big sack # s vs Jansen but we had to re-arrange our whole offense gameplan to negate his pass rush.

The thing that concerns me along with the fact he's old and looking for a payday is he's been banged up 2 of the last 3 years. His best days are clearly far behind him.

bridaman51 · 08-02-2007, 10:06 AM

Regardless he is on the way down, outside of 2003 he has barely cracked the top 10 In the NFC since 2002. Last 3 years he has not been in the top 5 in the NFC and he will want TOP 5 MONEY and CONTRACT. Again not a good investment as the ROI more than likely will not be good.

You are right but I would bring in alot of players for the right financials... shoot we would have bomb team if we could get the right financials. But a big part of his holdout is financial the guy is looking to make 4-5 mill this year with a contract extension. He may be a decent player this year stay with his recent trend of 7-10 sacks, but is it worth it to pay him that much for that? He also wants an extension, and is threatening retirement. I dont want that kind of guy, like has been stated he is looking for one last payday and once he gets it, he is done. he will collect his money and be another role player counting his benjamins....

No interest at all in Straham. If they were going to sign an aging DE why didn't they look into S. Rice? Rice is younger and more available because he was already cut. Don't misunderstand me...I don't want either of them. Some said in a previous post that they need to look into a back-up for Betts? They already have that guy in D. Blaylock who if you recall, was a stud back up for the Chiefs (Holmes) under Big Al. No more signing of useless players please!

The article said that we received sub par scouting reports on Rice and did not entertain the idea of bringing him to Redskins park.

The same article cited in the first post of this thread

We don't need an old, often injured, past his prime DE looking to get paid cause his ex-wife took his ass to the cleaners.

It was in the Simeon Rice thread, Matty posted it. From the washington post.

The Danny may have upped the price on Leonard Davis & the pokes paid him 18.5 mil in bonus $.
Maybe the Danny, intentionally or not, is driving the price up on Strahan. I hope!

What price? Strahan is contemplating retiring, not searching around for a new team.
