Fifty Gut Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 patience. one step at time. they've already mentioned they are working on extending Cooley's contract and we still got a few years left on Taylor's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefPowhatan17 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I am all for giving Pucillo a chance or Todd Wade at LG, but I am not sure if Wade has ever played in the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Cooley should never ever reach Free Agency. If he does, I'll just throw my hands up and give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsknbill Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Cooley should never ever reach Free Agency.If he does, I'll just throw my hands up and give up. I'm with you on that point. Cooley must be a priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVskinsfan Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Are we considering going after Wade? I know he wants to start! Nice heart.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveStrongSkins Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Thats the good thing about this year... we will actually have a little breathing room. We need all the money we can get because the market is going to dictate that Cooley and Taylor get monster deals. When its time to extend Taylor I wouldnt be surprised if he gets something that rivals Nate Clements. By then the market might use the clements deal as a benchmark. Cooley will surely be a top target of many teams because all of the truely great tight ends are all locked up. Lock these guys up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Day Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Why does everyone want to extend ST now, he has like 4 yrs left on his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveStrongSkins Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Why does everyone want to extend ST now, he has like 4 yrs left on his contract. Just imagine what it will cost in a few years. Were talking mega-bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPG Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 There is no freakin way that Taylor would get a contract the size of Clements. What are you talking about? That is corner money. The last time I checked Taylor couldn't cover that well. HE could get and Archuletta type contract but nothing close to what your talking about. I know as a redskin fan everyone is freakin worried like and old lady walking in DC at night. BUt come on. We will get these guys signed eventually. They will do it when the time is right. Why the hell would we resign them now making us less cap space. We will use that to improve this team this year. Then we will resign them. And if Taylor wants Clements money then he can go. And I love Taylor. He is one my favorite players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUSkinsFan Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 speaking of money, can someone tell me how much cap space we have since signing Fletcher and Smoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusism Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Redskins should do what the Eagles FO does, sign the guy before contract expires and keep him around for a long time. If we wait till his final contract year, he'll have a career year, and then get paid an insane amount form another team (like the Bills, who seem to like taking our players) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPG Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 speaking of money, can someone tell me how much cap space we have since signing Fletcher and Smoot? Probably arround 7 mil. Not much considering teams like the 49er's had 35 mil going into free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you talk about the increase in the cap over the years and Taylors athletic ability it is not out impossible for Taylors price to be driven up to the neighborhood of what would then be a Clements deal signed 4-5 years ago. Some younger guys are going to continue to develop and then when its time to re-up they are going to want to be the new highest paid defensive player. While it may not happen, lets not turn a blind eye to it. It's smarter to play it safe and make them feel wanted well before FA starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at what Ed Reed got. a better player and that is what Taylor will get. It might inflate because we won't go it for another year but not by much. HE doesn't play CB. It is much easier to find a good SS than a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsTillIDie Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Resigning anyone at this juncture would be mad, with all of the massive contracts going up. Ask Cooley to re-sign right now and he'd probably ask for $15 million in guarentees. Wait a while, let the hype and commotion of free agency die down a bit, and get a deal done in training camp. There's no rush right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terpfan Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Honestly, I'm starting to warm up to the idea of starting Pucillo at LG. He's cheap, knows the system, has started before, and the coaches seem to like him. Why not try him out and see if he can at least do his part on an allready talented line? If nothing else, I bet he pulls better than Dock did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drex Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I agree with the decision not to sign Davis. He is a native of Texas who will probably perform better in Dallas than he would have in Washington: if he came here, it would have been strictly for the dollars.

rwn Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 we saved allot of money man the cowboys over paid for davis lol Michael Smith of ESPN.com reports that the Dallas Cowboys are finalizing a deal for offensive lineman Leonard Davis, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2001 draft. Davis is expected to play right tackle or right guard. The contract is expected to exceed the mammoth deals given to three non-Pro Bowl offensive linemen who were in the right place at the right time this week: Kris Dielman, Eric Steinbach, and Derrick Dockery. Davis had plenty of time to show that he deserved a big-money deal from a team with more cap room than Abe Lincoln with a buzz cut. And Davis hasn't shown he can get it done. But, hey, no one is talking much about the Cowboys right now because all of the other teams are spending the money, so why not overpay for a guy who, if he were destined to be the next Larry Allen, would have shown a little of the same skills at some point in the past six seasons? I mean, the money has to be spent anyway, so why not give it to a guy who doesn't necessarily deserve it? http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
