Rogers Signs!

MonkManiac · 08-02-2005, 12:48 PM

According to Pastabelly, he just signed a five year worth a maximum of a bit over $17million. Won't matter too much, since the ankle/foot is keeping him on the sidelines. How long till he gets back?

Hey look at that, ESPN is running two Redskins-related stories on their main page, and neither one of them has a negative tagline! Go figure! I'm sure we can find some potshots (unfortunately, some of them are deserved) in the articles themselves.

It's good to be back, guys, after my long hiatus.

yeah, it's in the Post as well...

however, here is a quote from the article:

Quote:

Late last night, Campbell -- the 25th overall pick -- agreed to terms on a five-year contract potentially worth more than $20 million, according to a league source. Rogers, the fifth overall pick, signed a five-year deal with guarantees in excess of $11 million, according to sources familiar with his contract. Rogers isn't expected to be able to practice for several days because of foot and ankle ailments.

guess the editor, as well as the 2 stiffs that wrote the article, are doing their jobs very well

Yuck - :vomit-smi too bad we got that news from P-Belly.

He looks like Don Vito.

Great, great call.

Well this is good news. Even though Rogers won't be able to practice, at least we have him signed and don't have to worry about later....like during the season.

So far our FO has done their job in finally getting our picks signed and releasing Barrow and trading Gardner. The only thing thats still lingering is Arrington's grevience, and who knows how long that'll take. Hopefully they can work it out soon.

Every pick signed - no holdouts. Not too shabby, considering how god-awful our front office is.

Davnpurt · 08-02-2005, 02:01 PM

It'll be important for Rogers to start grasping GW's defensive schemes. So it's a great thing that he can begin the mental preparation while his ankle/foot heal. What's up w/ Jansen throwing down yesterday with Charles Howard? A little "welcome back" perhaps??

redrock-skins · 08-02-2005, 02:04 PM

Great news for us and I can't wait to see these guys on the field, even if we must wait a little longer for Rodgers.

Yeah but c'mon, they signed Jeff George! And let's not even get started with that deal for Trung Candidate, we're still feeling the effects of that one! When will they learn?

Great sign. I hope he picks up things quick and can be a starter by midseason.
