The Caretaker Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yea this is a massive **** you to the rest of the league, I am quietly grinning towards all the analysts saying he would not be signed until Luck signed.

skinsmarydu Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I love the fact they got this done before camp almost as much as I love the burgundy and gold wrist thingy he is wearing in the pic of him signing. It is clear the this guy LOVES the redskins!!! Now on a mission to find those little wrist thingys...I keep looking at the pic, and sent it to all my friends. They think I'm nuts. I know. I am. But I'm one seriously happy nut. Hail..(and STreal's post of Will Smith dancin in the kitchen is awesome!!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Great start to the day. Glad we got him locked up though I never really thought it was much to be worried about. He has already put in so much more time than other top 10 picks with their teams. Get ready friends...its going to quite a ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazel-Ra Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 ALL ABOARD!!!! OK, so how many people over the age of 35 saw RGIII in the bus drivers seat and was waiting for him to say "Sit down, Waldo!"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Caretaker Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 how is this any kind of message, much less a 'massive' **** you, to anyone in the league? The teams, particularly those with top ten picks (to follow the recent trend of tension between the league and the players) were gridlocked due to offset language and how much money would be guaranteed. The teams would not budge until perhaps the night before vets reported in and the fact that the Redskins took the first step forward, especially when their camp started so early, is a large **** you. Teams and their owners generally do things together and mimic eachother's moves, in light of recent events, I think this is a victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the terms of the sport’s rookie pay system, Griffin’s deal is for four years and contains a fifth-year option. It is expected to be worth about $21 million and to be fully guaranteed, with a signing bonus of $14 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhunter Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Speaking of hard, I should see a doctor. This is lasting more than 4 hours... OK, that made me chuckle a little bit..

Warpath11 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 how is this any kind of message, much less a 'massive' **** you, to anyone in the league? IMO it was an FU to the rest of the league because of capgate and 29 other teams screwing us for our cap money this season and next. Bruce and Dan set the precedence to waive the offset clause for high draft picks. Not one owner in the league wants this to happen, for obvious reasons. So when Irsay, Wilson etc...call us up to complain about our contract we can simply say go EFFF yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
