All In Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Looks like he got an extra $750 on top of his slotted signing bonus. Says we should have all three in on time for camp. I guess we'll hear about the other two tomorrow. ----------------------------------------------------- Here's the article from the Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A41015-2003Jul24.html Redskins Come to Terms With Seventh-Round Pick By Mark Maske Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, July 24, 2003; 3:32 PM Quarterback Gibran Hamdan, the Washington Redskins' seventh-round draft choice in April, agreed to a three-year contract with the team today. He becomes the first of the club's three draft picks to agree to a deal. Hamdan's deal is worth $942,750, including a signing bonus of $32,750 and league-minimum annual salaries of $225,000 this year, $305,000 in 2004 and $380,000 in 2005. Hamdan, from Bishop O'Connell High School and Indiana University, is slated to compete with undrafted rookie Brad Banks in training camp for the Redskins' No. 3 quarterback job behind starter Patrick Ramsey and veteran backup Rob Johnson. He impressed Coach Steve Spurrier and other club officials in a pre-draft workout for college players with local ties. The team reports to training camp on Sunday at Redskins Park and begins practices Monday morning. Club officials are confident they also will have deals in place to have their other two draft selections, second-round wide receiver Taylor Jacobs and third-round guard Derrick Dockery, in camp on time. © 2003 The Washington Post Company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Yep...he's a holdout Guess it wasn't as pessimistic as those inside sources at the Times thought. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Well said. I just heard Jansen isn't going to re-sign....wait....they already blew up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Madder Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 It took an extra day to cut that deal? Hopefully they just ran out of ink in their pens and had to come back today to sign it. That's about as vanilla a deal for a 7th rounder as you'll get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I said in another post, it was probably minor details that were being haggled over. No big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen-like Todd Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 $750!!!! When Will Snyder Learn That You Cant Buy A Super Bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaganaut Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Do you ever wonder if the Times deliberately gets fed bogus information? The attacks by Dan Daly on Dan Snyder have been particularly out of proportion from the month after he took over as owner. He calls Snyder names and uses a particularly insulting tone in articles about him. Hence... the Times usually comes out with egg on their faces. Sound plausible?

Just a little misinformation, some subtle misdirection and the Times runs with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 The Moonie Times is a joke. BTW - anyone know anything about defensive lineman Bernard Holsey? He was signed today by the Skins as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy-the-Greek Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 He would have been a fool to hold out over 750 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 letters@washingtontimes.com Do me a favor. Send a quick email to the Times asking them to report that Champ and Arrington are as good as gone after their contracts run up in tomorrows paper. That way we can go into the weekend with brand new extensions for both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Holsey is an ex-Giant who played very well against the Redskins in NY as I recall. That was a few years ago. I think he left right after Chad Braatzke. The guy had potential as a DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 My friend, who is a huge Pats fan said he was just a stopgap guy that didnt make a lot of plays for them last year.. Training camp fodder perhaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 well, when you are looking at Del Cowsette and Bernard Jackson at the end of the bench at DT you are always willing to give another guy a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cskin Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Anyone interested in exploring whether Shaun Rogers (DT DET.) is still on the block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyDave Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I guess ham n cheese didnt want a four year deal and the skins dont want to develop a guy that shows flashes in 2k5 and gets snatched up in the offseason. Signed in time to play in the 3rd or 4th quarter of preseason games against Banks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
