Art Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 This can not be, BCS. Do the Redskins not realize the cap hell that's coming in 2006 that will prevent us from even fielding a team?

OUTRAGEOUS. :laugh: :laugh: Good one Art, but you forgot to add a sarcasm tag. Some folks are very literal minded around these parts and a few might even get the notion that you're serious.

Truant Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Sounds like a steal to me. I'm ecstatic to have D-Mac for a few more years. I could care less if Gardner is on the team or not... McCants will take him over in either case IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallyG3 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37100-2004Mar30.html Redskins Sign McCants By Nunyo Demasio Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, March 30, 2004; 7:00 PM The Redskins today signed restricted free agent wide receiver Darnerien McCants to a three-year contract. Before the start of free agency, the Redskins had signed McCants, 25, to a one-year qualifying $628,000, which allowed Washington to receive a fifth-round pick if another club signs him. However, at the behest of Coach Joe Gibbs, the Redskins intensified negotiations recently so that the Redskins wouldn't risk losing the 6-foot-3, 214-pound wideout. Last year, McCants tied Laveraneus Coles with a team-high six touchdowns and caught 27 passes for 360 yards. The Redskins on Monday reacquired wideout James Thrash from the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2005 fifth-round pick. But the trade -- which hasn't been officially announced -- didn't factor in McCants's contract talks. "They've been bringing in other people all my career here," McCants said. "But I'm like a bad habit. They won't get rid of me that easy." Several teams had expressed interest in McCants including the Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders and Baltimore Ravens. But McCants never signed an offer sheet, his agent said, partly because of a desire to remain in Washington. "I asked [McCants] about these other teams," McCants's agent, Harold Lewis, said. "And he told me to do my best to keep him in Washington." Today, McCants caught passes for the first time since undergoing arthroscopic surgery in his right shoulder after the season. During an informal practice at Redskins Park, McCants snagged balls from quarterbacks Mark Brunell, Tim Hasselbeck and Patrick Ramsey before signing his new deal. The injury prevented McCants from participating in Gibbs's three-day minicamp from Friday to Saturday. But Gibbs saw enough on film to want to retain McCants. "I heard from the other coaches that Coach Gibbs was comparing me to Art Monk. That's crazy," McCants said, referring to Gibbs's former wide receiver. "Now that it's official I can just concentrate on football, and go full steam ahead." © 2004 The Washington Post Company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truant Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 McCants isn't getting traded. This seems to be a very modest contract (if the other thread is true) and McCants has seemed like an ideal Gibbs guy from Day one. He has a passion for the game and he wants to be a Redskin. He also has a life and a mind outside of football with his artistic endevours. This is a great move for the team... congrads D-Mac!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I don't understand the Thrash signing with McCants getting this kind of money, unless someone else is out the door. Money is on RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallyG3 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I was thinking the same thing Bufford. This is awesome. All of our QBs out practicing because they want to? I wonder how much of the team is doing this kind of thing? We're back. This year is going to be great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
