This is why NFL contract are so confusing to me. 

Good for the middle to lower pay players.

My first memory of the Redskins was the 1973 Super Bowl between the Redskins vs. Dolphins.

Mine also, 6 years old at the time.

I'm all for all contracts being guaranteed. Would you rather the owners pocket the money? The league makes billions, the money's gotta go somewhere. I'd rather it go to the guys that actually play.

I started this, so here goes. The owners split about $260 million between the teams. The salary cap last year was 188 million. After uniforms, doctors, Front office, stadium leases ect. Ect. The profit is a lot less then 80 million. Quite a bit of profit still, but as a capitalist, I think the owners don’t make as much as people think, and it is their businesses. But what do I know.

True, but it would be at the considerable risk of losing whatever's left of Haskins trust in the Redskins heirarchy-- something that might never be restored even if it was a bluff all along.

 

In my opinion if we start hearing legitimate reports that the Skins are shopping Simba it means that Rivera has decided to trade him.

 

Until that unlikely, but possible event the Redskins will no doubt publicly deny any interest in acquiring a first round signal caller.

 

However, that doesn't mean that deep within the bowels of Redskins Park we aren't granularly analyzing and comparing the pro potential of Haskins, Tua and yes, even Burrow. Anything less would be front office malpractice.

Simba?

I bet the players will try to address this in the new CBA

So Norman gets released and we save 15 mil. Richardson gets released and its 2 mil. Everyone applauds. Their still under contract, but a player plays above his contract and want to hold out on the final year, without guaranteed money, and that player should live up to the contract? Not saying either is right or wrong, but IMO it’s messed up.

Sad that some people can't allow others to take pride in an event that isn't typical to the norm. African American coaches went thru (and still go thru) the same thing. It's the society many here have grown up in and one that many are still trying desperately to cling to.

 

Coach Rivera is an excellent hire and we're going to be better with him aboard. He also gets to be a role model for Puerto Rican and Mexican people, and other non-white people, who don't have nearly the representation that we, the EXTREMELY privileged White people in America, do.

 

Congratulations to Ron Rivera. I’m happy to have you aboard. To those that take pride in him being a minority, that’s great. To me he is the best candidate out there. 
to the people that say privilege, have you walked in my shoes? Worked hard to get to where I am, as did Mr. Rivera.

Completely agree here..what's poc?

Person of color. 
I would hope in this day and age that color has absolutely nothing to do with hiring. As a business owner myself I could care less about color, and more if you can get the job done for me. 

I thought the Jack Kent Cook built the stadium, and the skins own it, and that was partly why the franchise is worth what it is. I guess I’m wrong.

Did I just read that Scherff has been put on IR? If so, that might change my calculus on whether to keep him or at what cost. I think this is three years in a row where he's been unable to finish the season and despite his probowl bid, I don't know that he has been elite while playing. I prefer he stay, but if he can't stay healthy I don't know that the team should pay a king's ransom to keep him.

I've been a fan for 46 years, I always want a win.

High draft picks aren't always good picks, as our FO has proven. (Just sayin'.)

Good morning, I agree, as a fan of 50 years I never want to lose. Higher pick be dammed.

It would be awful for Scherff to say publicly he wanted a trade if thats the case.  Could you imagine?  A second pro bowler saying they didn’t want to be here.

Pro bowls don’t mean anything to me. 1/3 of the voting are fans. More of a popularity contest imo.

what's wrong with runs

A few more than 12 passes might have helped.

that would be me.  i'm great.  despite my haters.  they don't know anything.  they can't even add, subtract or multiply yet.

Thanks again, but a little conceited?

Thanks to who ever it was that mentioned top streams. Can’t believe I watched three hours of run run run. 

Gives me no joy to see Gruden go, but things need a change. 

It’s also written about on the nfl.com.  No details, and I don’t know how to show a link. 

DH is not ready. I didn’t like the pic at 15, as he only started for one year with Ohio State, thought second round. I think he has lots of potential, but at the moment, Gruden will most likely go with Colt if healthy.

I don’t know if the Estate Tax came before or after JKC’s death (you really should be cursing Ted Kennedy for this), but you can’t just will a team. John KC would have had to pay a HUGE tax on the difference between what his dad paid for the team and the value at that time. I think 28%... ? If you can’t afford that, that’s when outside investors (or even a group led by him) can come in and take it.

The tax on the team would have been almost 50%. And some one wishing that JKC is in hell is downright pathetic. 

I don’t understand the love for Callahan here. What has he done as a redskin coach that people think makes him great. Haven’t seen a hole that running backs can get through.

Well, I don't know for sure that it's "right" but I'm closer to not giving an already-well-paid-but-declining player more money than I am giving him a raise. He's made some good money, so it's incumbent on the team to pay him for what they believe they'll get out of him from here on out, not reward him (more) for what he's already accomplished. 

Thanks for the reply. In my opinion, if it’s the money, I’d consider making his last two years guaranteed money. Also draft his replacement next year. Anything else trade if possible.

I don't think that's the easy solution at all! To put the situation to rest, maybe. To do the right thing, probably not. 

Yeah something not about donuts. 

Curious what’s the right thing in your opinion?
