KingdomBankcard Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 There is no way justify spending that kind of money on two players. Especially cornerbacks. I believe Gibbs is teaching Snyder that you don't spend 10% of your total budget on one player. That football is the consumate team game. (Look at Philly & New England) You need 11 guys playing as one, we had it on defense not on offense last year. Coles has no YAC since he broke his big toe, worst injury for speed skill players, look at the film he outran no one and was continually caught from behind. Moss is a huge improvement. Anything is an improvement over Gardner mental incapibilities. Wide receiver good to go! We saved 70 million not signing Smoot and Pierce, excellent move, we replaced Smoot for 18 million with a better talent. We have backers remember, if Pierce hadn't been coached up so well, you could rest assured Barrow would have been in there. Redskins have done something this year they haven't done since JKC died, they were patiencant and spent there money wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Okay. I have to ask. $100 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golgo-13 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Between the two of them that is about right. As long as Rogers can play, and I think he can, it makes that deal look good. As soon as he shows flashes do like those teams do and lock him up early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also re-state that there was no way they were going to pay Smoot more then Springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohioskinfan Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Good post. I feel part 2 would be Smoot and Pierce would have cost us 50 million plus !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkelch Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Champ Bailey; seven-year, $63 million contract with the Broncos Fred Smoot; six-year, $34 million deal, including a signing bonus of roughly $11 million taxes, tags, undercoating... darn close to $100 mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschlesi Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Remember that is not all guaranteed money. The real number that counts is the signing bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 of course players are only guaranteed the bonus so the $100 million top figure was never really going to be realized given the length of the proposed deals. but the bent of the post, that no team in the era of the cap can afford to put too much of its money in any one position is accurate. that's what makes the Lions drafting of Mike Williams odd. You have all that money already tied up in younger players with big cap numbers and you add a third to single position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschlesi Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I dont have a problem with the Lion signing Mike Williams. Rogers has been hurt each season. And Mike was the best player on the board. He is good trade bait. Also, You play all three. The top two get to start and the one of them gets traded for need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a winner( or at least close), and whether the bent was right or not doesn't take away from that. Take a more specific look at how those guys may have hurt for cap purposes. Read: Bonus and such. And wkelch, take a look at those 2 little numbers in my first post. Look familiar? Again. Wasn't what I was asking,(well not specifically), or who.

GoDannyBoy Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I think we have three better corners for our system and cheaper than the two of them would have cost us. The office might finially be working. Go Skins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
