JeepRyder Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Anybody concerned these guys just wanted the money, they obviously want to win to. Adam Schefter just said on NFL Network Tampa Bay was offering more money but Albert picked us. And Hall was being offered more by another team according to Vinny just now on ESPN 980 but he picked us. So hopefully those 2 guys see we are close to being a great team and want to be a part of it. Yes they still got monster deals but still thought it was cool they took a little less to be in Washington. - Randel El and Rock Cartwright are coming up on ESPN 980 for anyone who wants to listen to talk about the signings.

Andre3stacks Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Now THIS means a whole ****in lot to me. Now im happy with this signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatboy41 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm not investing too much into this thought. I would have to see the deals they were offered at other places to believe they actually want to be here more than getting their money. Our team has been spoon fed and they have been ****y and all it has done is led to us losing games. I have a feeling this will be repeated again and again.

DiscoBob Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 That's great and all, but if it was really THAT important, then they wouldn't be making an average of 16.7M and 9M per year..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinsNation Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 TB had more cap room so they should have offered more. Im surprised Fat Albert chose us...in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewCliche21 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Lessens the sting a bit, but we have ten months (hopefully eleven and a week) to see if Haynesworth still plays like he did when he agreed to terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true it's good to see. At least we didn't outbid ourselves and give even crazier deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMONEY Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I don't think anyone else offered more money. Then again Tampa is kinda starting all over, so maybe he didn't want to be a part of a rebuikding team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooley4President Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I don't buy it for a second. Don't care what was reported and certainly don't care what Vinny said (he's lied to the fans before, remember his off-hand recollections of the stats of players we've passed on?). Plain and simple, players go where they go for the money. Can't blame them, don't expect anything else. Bottom line, players come to the Redskins because they know they get paid. Big time up front guaranteed money, and just as important, back end guaranteed money. Big money guys like Portis, Samuels, etc get their contracts restructured almost every single year thus guaranteeing the large sums of backloaded deals that lots of players never see. Players know that we're tight on the cap every year so their base salaries get converted to bonuses so they can be spread out over a longer period.

cjrugger Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Wow, if true that's outstanding news. Maybe they talked to each other? It seemed Hall was waiting to see what we did before he signed, otherwise it doesnt make sense for him to wait til today to sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepRyder Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Cooley4President I disagree. If ur a player and lets say Philly offers you 15 mil and Detroit offers u 17 mil wouldnt u think about that and say yes I'll be giving up 2 million but i will be playing for a team that is usually in the playoffs with Philly. If I sign with Detroit its gonna be a long season and a long career. So I definitely think guys look at the team also and not just the money. Nobody likes to lose. I dont care how much money u make. If u hate going to work the money wont make it all better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNGwithOUTaCrwN Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 if they were really offered more by another team, but still chose us.thats great. they can tell the difference between good organizations who have a chance and those who dont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouvan59 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Maybe Hall stayed here for less, but I believe Haynesworth went for the party that offered the most guaranteed money. That's my take on it as well. After Oakland I can see Hall taking slightly less money to go to a situation he already knows he's comfortable with. With Haynesworth I don't see how it could have been too much more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
