We must give Alexander the salary he deserves. With him, Doughty, and Forbath, we had it made on special teams last season.

How much do you give a 30 year old backup LB? His last deal was 3 yrs $3.8M. I can't see topping that by very much.

With our cap situation the bottom line is some tough choices will have to be made.

They had another good point on Szaban's show the other day.

As Redskins fans we know how valuable LA is as a special-teamer and team leader. He can also sub in at many different positions and is a positive force in the community.

But other teams won't see all that, they'll just see a 30-yr old special-teamer/backup LB. In other words, it's very likely no other team will value LA as highly as the Redskins and their fans do.

Yeah I can see that, he's more valuable to us than anywhere else, except maybe to Pittsburgh and Danny Smith. Still, nobody is going to break the bank on him, I think he'll stay as long as he gets a deal similar to his last one with a decent bump.

special teamers that don't score TDs don't get big money. i don't know why people think he should be getting 2M+ a year.

I can see a division rival wanting a pissed-off ST standout.

Safety Tanard Jackson remains under contract to Redskins

I didn't realize that it was the policy for suspended players. I doubt our plans to find safeties would change but it does give us an alternative option if the plan A backfires.

Couple of points on Zo I don't think wherever he goes he would be pissed off at the Redskins and definately not the fans.

Also the Steelers and the Giants will not over pay for Zo either.

Look at Flacco's press conference… He was asked if it was about the money. He said it wasn't about the money. It was about respect. And he felt he was worth more than that. (Isn't that about the money then Joe???)

Going back at least as far as when Dionne Sanders signed with us and said, "it's not about the money": Whenever a player says that, I want the owner to step up beside him and say "Ok, so vet minimum then?"
