Plus Eli made a relatively unknown Jake Ballard into an Sportswrath-avatar worthy player.

 

Ultimately I think Eli will be able to work with whoever we end up with.

Oh yeah, the Ballatar, how could I forget?

Not as good as your Bossatar though.

Yea same, I think coach Pope can get that potential out of him though.

 

He had a talk on the field with Bennet after the two games against Dallas this year. So they already have some sort of an established relationship.

LOL...I wouldnt call that an established relationship. But you are right about Pope being a good coach who can get more out of him than dallas did.

PDub, I agree at this point its more potential than anything. But since we rely on our WRs more than TE's like dallas does, its almost a given that a physical speciman like Bennett would fit into our system.

He wants to be a starter.

Don't think Mario Williams going to the bears. It'll be 30millions on two DE. That's just way way too much. They still need to get Forte back.

 

Cutlet and Marshall. Damn can't wait for fantasy football!!!!!

Oh damn, I thought they resigned Forte already? If not your right. too much money on a pair of DEs.

I just read that he's close to signing for 4 years and $19 million with $7 mill guaranteed.

 

If true that's a good deal for both sides.

 

I think coach pope gets all the talent out of him.

Dude, if we get Bennet as our starter, and then Ballard comes back, we'll have a nice little TE tandem with Pascoe as the the 3rd.

So by this logic Eli Manning to you looked like Ryan Leaf coming out of college.

 

Good to know.

LOL...no. How did you get that from my reply?

I meant, just because someone did well in college, or has all the tools to succeed in the pros, doesnt mean they will do well in the pros. He looks like a keeper, RGIII, something tells me he's not.

Good call Osi. I didnt really pay much attention to Bennett, but after reading up on him, I think he would fit the Giants far better than he fit with the cowcraps. I want this guy.

And I read on either ESPN or NFL.com, that we may sign 2 FA TEs. Anyone else see or hear this?

Hearing it's basically a 1 year 2mil contract with the option to keep him after for the rest of the loot.

The breakdown of Thomas' deal per rumblings was: $1m SB, $1m base salary and $2.75m on 70-pct playtime this season. Waiting on confirm. #nyg

Ill take that. Good job Reese.

How so?

 

Second best QB in the draft behind Luck.

 

Sounds like a kid with his head on straight, son of two military parents.

 

The 'Skins are getting a franchise QB by all accounts.

 

The one thing I find scary about him is watching him throw he at least looks to be pretty accurate and likes to pass first but he has the legs of Vick.

After Ryan Leaf, I stopped judging QBs by their college performance. This guy has all the tools and looks to be great.....JUST like Leaf.

I dont really have alot of reasons why, it seems like he should be good. But my gut tells me hes a bust. You say he throws 1st, to me, he clearly runs first. He looks fragile too. Doesnt look like he can take a hit. The thing we dont know, is does he have the mental capability to run a screwed up franchise with no real RB? Military parents? Big deal. I know a lot of kids I grew up with who had military parents who are currently on crack.

Fewell's 2010 scheme was nothing like the ugly mess he put on the field for most of 2011.

Im trying to get a copy of his scheme that he had vs the Saints.

Its for a book Im writing called...."What to do when you want to be embarrassed".

Peyton aint going to the 'Skins but he certainly aint with the Colts either.

 

Good move, give that RG2 1/4 a possession WR to throw too.

lol

Is it just me, or does it seem like RGIII is WAAAY overhyped?

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82792745/article/freeagent-wr-garcon-announces-intent-to-sign-with-redskins?module=HP11_headline_stack

Why Pierre? Whos gonna throw it to you? I guess you havent heard, Peyton aint goin to the skins. Good luck with RGoverhype.

Sorry if this is posted in wrong section.

Yeah, and if they get Williams from Houston, theyre gonna frickin good. On paper at least. But can you imagine Peppers on one side and Williams on the other?

Holy patootie!!!!!!

Thats a lot of dough for a guy who tore his ACL....TWICE!!!!!

But thats probably where the option after the 1st yr comes in, just in case the 2 injuries were just too much.

You need only remember that for cap purposes, salary hits in the year it's for and bonus is divided out evenly over the remaining years of the contract. From there, it's only addition/subtraction to compare what the player is at now vs. what they'd be at given a proposed change to their contract.

 

If you put it on paper in numerical form, it's much, much easier to understand than trying to read through someone's post.

OK, this made more sense to me. Thanks roc.

^ exactly. It's really simple and people like Nas need to understand it so this doesnt need to be continuously repeated.

Ummmmm.......that is not simple. Especially not for math retards like myself.

Like Eli, that's not a salary cut, he just gets the money up front so it can be spread out on the cap on the remaining years of his deal.

Ahhhh, OK. All the money stuff is so confusing to me. Thanks Jim.

I think the 49ers will sign Randy Moss. an steel him away from the Canton Cougars

Already signed a 1 yr tender.

As much as I'd like to keep him, Tollefson deserves a payday.

Totally agreed.

Hold on now, Derek Brown didn't do it for you?

Im still waiting for his induction to the hall................man, is he getting robbed.

That's comforting, reassuring, and a fantastic signing. Webster-Thomas-Amukamara is just fine by me. We'll see what happens with Ross now in FA.

Was just gonna say this. I dont like the the 2 tears of his ACL, but if he works hard enough to come back full strength, hes a very talented player. I too am comfy with that tandem.

Now, as already stated, get Rolle to restructure.

Damn, from 3 million to 900K??? Seems like alot. Thanks David!

Ehhh to many concussions.

 

Best of

Luck to him though.

 

I wouldn't rule it out 100% though

Yeah, he has had his share of concussions it seems. But he is still fairly young and knows our system and Eli. At a good price Id rather have him back the draft a rook.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7677959/source-oakland-raiders-plan-release-kevin-boss

Hmmmmmm, should we take him back? Could we?

I don't get it... The Cowboys and Redskins salary cap was lowered?

Yes, because they front loaded a bunch of contracts when they werent supposed to the last few years. Something to that effect.
