REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Randle El was an excellent pick up for us last year. I look for him to have a more productive season, now that Pue-nell is not starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 at first i thought we overpaid for them completelyrandle el signed a 7 year 30 mil lloyd signed 7 year 28 mil now i was looking though this years WRs signed Drew Bennett 6 years $30 million Wes Welker 7 years/$38.5 million by patriots so looking back we got a good deal on them because randle el would get $40+ mil contract this year and lloyd would get $35ish mil not to mention lloyd and randle el are much younger then bennett and welker. you are comparing last years market to this years, which is not fair if you think about it, could dockey had he been a FA last year get a 19 m sb, no that is insane, this year teams are paying for the players plus for Lloyd name me another team that a gave a WR that type deal and all he did was get about 300 yards and no injures, so yes we overpaid for him but not Randle El, at least he can play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooleyKnight Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 The deals we offered to ARE and Lloyd were unheard of at this time last year. I am glad to have ARE on the team and hopefully Lloyd grows up, but last offseason we paid them much more than they would have recieved anywhere else. The market this offseason has adjusted accordingly and that is why Bennet and Welker are getting paid. Also, do not forget that the salary cap has increased this year. Prices are relative to the year just like with anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jshock Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 55 passes for 716 yards and 3 TDs from both i would think they played like busts IMO. Maybe they are not overpaid in this years market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalDragon Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 :doh: You can't be "cereal"! First of all Randle El is not only a VERY good WR, but an excellent return guy. Secondly, while I'm no exactly in Lloyd's corner right now with everything that's been going on, he is still an incredable receiver, capable of making some amazing catches. Just relax and let everbody mesh together. It will come. A few amazing catches doesn't make up for all the blown plays. What coach Buges (sp?) said about Arrington should also apply to Brandon Lloyd.

ImmortalDragon Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 please, he's a kick returner, special teams star. nothing more. I really question the Patriots' move to poison pill a contract over a damn kick returner. since when did they become free agent whores?

InTikiITrust Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Also, how do you know the contracts aren't very backloaded? Aren't Lloyd's and ARE's, so they'll never see part of their money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
