Nice job buddy.

[Section 505]

$41M guaranteed. Scheduled to get $32M in first two years. Nice.

[Urrymonster]

No problem

They have spent some serious cash, despite apparently having no cap room. Intruiging to see how this plays out...

I can only speak for myself but when I earn $32 million in just over one year, I would find it hard to keep myself motivated. If he has two semi decent seasons to begin his career I can bet he will just relax and let the $$$ roll in.

[Ashor]

Dan Snyder is not afraid of spending money. Snyder is the George Steinbrenner of football. I wouldn't be surprised to see Vick land there as well.

[Urrymonster]

Well they are have Canty in for a visit there as well

Where and when is Peppers going? I'd be happy for just one 1st round pick. I've read all these greedy requests from people saying only trade Peppers for multiple draft picks and nothing less. Be rational and realistic people.

then nfl.com was wrong on cap figures yesterday. They said the redskins only had 8 million in cap. No way you sign both Hall and Haynesworth with only 8 million in cap room.

that's over only the first 13 months of the contract. the 7 year deal could end up being worth 115 million.

Mark it down, Haynesworth rides the pine for at least 1/3 of the games because of either injury of motivational issues.

Also, Redskins are no better than 7-9 next year.

32 million in his first season with a new club, how will he perform on the field?

[Cyclonus]

That's the Dan Snyder we know! He took last off-season off. Looks like the Skins are back to their old ways. Champions of the off-season!
