redskns21 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Per the Sirius NFL Radio 2:00 minute drill, the 'Skins have an interest in OT Adam Meadows. He was recently re-instated by the NFL http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=161191&highlight=Adam+Meadows. There were a couple of other teams interested as well. The Colts have apparently offered him a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 The best part about this whole story is how Meadows gave the Panthers their money back because he couldn't perform up to his contract. Pretty high character guy, any team who brings him in will be happy to have him in their locker room... :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMADD Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 He's 32, been out of football for a couple years. Left unexpectedly with a shoulder injury that was viewed as not that serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbruce0 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 We could really use the depth at the OL posisition. For a player to actually give the team back money because he didnt live up to his side of the contract, is well, unheard of. Sounds like a good guy to me.

mojobo Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 we could deffinantly use him for depth on the OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSkins Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 he would be a good pickup, solid character guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouvan59 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 If he can even get close to his previous level of play that would be a huge pickup for us. He hasn't played in a couple of seasons so you have to be worried whether he can come all the way back. But if he is able to come back near the level he was previously he would provide solid, veteran depth that we are lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 If there is true, genuine interest from our side, then Mr. Meadows will be a Redskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouvan59 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Why would anyone be against this?Ok negative nancy's, lets have it. Okay I'll play devil's advocate. He hasn't played in two seasons and has had chronic shoulder problems. He is 32 years old. There are other teams interested so we might have to pay higher than we would like. That's all I got. What it comes down to is basically how much money are we willing to commit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuDDSL1DE Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 What kind of contract do you think he'd demand seeing how hes been out of the NFL for a while? I'd definetly be up for signing him for depth at the right price :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoSkins Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 A little over the vet minimum with performance bonuses. If he can make it out of training camp still alive, keep him. The Skins need depth behind Jansen and Samuels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 The best part (IIRC) is that he took less money to play for Carolina than Dallas was offering. :ciao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another question, is how much is left in the coffers (under the cap) and remembering that we may need some for emergencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalDefense Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Looks like Denver won the bidding war, 400k for a guy who hasn't played football in 2 years...wow....can you tell we were interested???:laugh: Your welcome Adam:laugh: -- Broncos Sign Meadows -- Sat Jul 29, 2006 --from FFMastermind.com ESPN's Len Pasquarelli reports OL Adam Meadows' return to the NFL became official on Saturday evening when the seven-year veteran offensive lineman signed a three-year contract with the Denver Broncos. The hastily-negotiated deal with the Broncos came after Meadows, who was reinstated by the NFL on Monday and then released from his contract with the Carolina Panthers the next day, visited in recent days with the Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers. Meadows also drew varying degrees of interest from several other clubs, including Dallas, Washington and Miami. It is believed that New Orleans and Green Bay made Meadows formal contract offers. The Broncos were a late entry into the Meadows pursuit. Complete financial details of the contract were not yet available. But the contract, which was negotiated by Don Henderson over the last 24 hours, has a $400,000 signing bonus and a base salary for 2006 of $850,000. It also includes several escalators, most of them based on playing time, that could increase the total value by increasing the base salaries for 2007 and 2008. "He loved the city, loved [coach Mike] Shanahan, and really felt comfortable with their blocking scheme," Henderson said. "He could have made more money somewhere else, but Denver, in Adam's mind, had the right combination." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
