when i saw what we signed mcclain for, i figured baker was going to get something over $8m/year at least. my angst is generated by the fact that we signed a replacement for $5m/year.

we lost a stud (for a d lineman in the $6m/year range).

I think it is more because he was the only one on our DL that could be considered a legitimate starter for an NFL team, so we are now at square 1. They'd better hope Lanier develops and actualizes all that potential they are seeing. Our D line was a weakness last season, and while there is obviously a lot of time to improve it (FA isn't over by any stretch, draft), we just took a step backwards.

I hate losing both DJax and Garcon, especially Garcon. Hate it. That's a lot to swallow. And it isn't as though we used the money they would have commanded to lock up Cousins, who apparently (per the news reports) asked Snyder for a trade. WTF, man. It leaves the impression that no one wants to stick around -- Garcon, Baker, Cousins are good character/locker room guys, and DJax was by all accounts here as well.

He was the only decent player we had on the d-line. Now we're 1 further in the hole plus all the other holes to fill. Yeah I say this knowing we've signed 2 d-lineman (1 from one of the worst defenses in the league).

Yeah a decent player who just got double the money he was earning before. Not sure what he did to warrant that kind of raise but whatever.

Walter football rankings had baker #4, McClain #20 and Magee 23. We could have had baker and one of either of them. Why not keep our own and add one (preferably not dallas')

that's just the direction of the cap, he signed his 3 yr/$9m contract in 2014.

ok, now that trade makes more sense. the browns are on the hook for $16m, depending on what he may earn w a new contract w a new team because of the offset language.

Trade him for what? A ham sandwich? Well, as rotten as this team sometimes makes me feel, at least we're not the Browns.

Looks like everyone is raiding the Cowboys defense: The Latest: Broncos sign Cowboys player - not Romo | Pro32: Head to Head

[CRedskinsRule]

I can't blame him. He's an injury prone player that has his chance to cash-in. I'd honestly do the same.

Exactly. What a HORRIFIC signing by them. Lil' Dan love to try and stick it to JJ. But that is a laughable signing IMO.

Well, as long as he misses as many games for the Skins as he did for the Cowboys....

Gonna love watching Collins, Frederick and Martin kick his A** for the next 4 years.

Risky on their behalf. That's a lot of dough for an oft injured rotational guy.

do I need to go on

Sounds like we need a decent talent evaluator (I kid, this is a joke, just relax, woosah).
