PO is another good dumpster dive - showed potential before tailing off....I think Willamson and Winters are sitting in reserve and will be cut if the cash is needed or depending on how the draft goes....good for flexibility....thats a quick $14M to clear if they decide to make a trade (Trent Williams - if Washington gets back to reality and takes a 3rd)
I would like to acquire Williams and go WR with our first pick, but at what cost? I don't mind us spending the cap on him. It's the trade cost that is the bigger issue. I know that they want a second rounder, but good luck with that. Can we get him for a 4th rounder? Late third? I wouldn't even offer up the NYG's third rounder. The Redskins are in a tough spot. No reason to spend more than necessary to get him. Take him if we can get him at a cheap trade price.
I think that may signal the end of Williamson but I'd like for them to keep him. They have plenty of cap room left and no real high priced free agents left - unless they plan to trade for Trent Williams which I think would be a mistake given his age and salary demands,
Having the cap flexibility for a trade is a good reason, but another possibility is that they roll over the cap space to the following year. Still, I think Gase is under pressure to win this year and they will do what they can to win this year.
obviously nothing is for sure - but I'd feel better about a top 4 overall pick who made 6 straight pro bowls than any other alternative....for the next 2 yrs or so...definite risk with the layoff but think he'll be fine.
Im fine with a 4 yr deal as long as their is an out after 2....most have that....except Trumaine! lol
I'm just not a fan of giving away a pick AND paying a huge contract. If his demand was more reasonable, and the Skins' demands were as well (which will likely happen) then maybe. With that said you won't hear me complain if they end up with him.
Would explain all these 1 year deals. Douglas is giving himself an out to wipe much of the roster clean if they do end up firing Gase after this season. Nice to have a GM with some foresight.
I think if Douglas likes one of the OTs that fall to the pick that is who he will take - but I'm sure a WR would be considered as well. It's hard to say though as this is the first time through for Douglas.
JD did a nice job to not have a gaping need for the #11 pick which gives them flexibility. Everything Im reading says the WR position is much deeper than OL - both are big needs so I think if one of the top OL are there JD takes him....if none are there I think he would take a WR...depends on how the cards fall.....as long as its not defense ill be happy even though I understand edge and CB are needs.
agreed - and its more of a confidence in the DC rather than the talent on defense. Williams showed he could put out a pretty good defense with the personnel at hand....add CJ and some of the other signings and the defense should be playoff level next year...its the offense that is a train wreck and needs the 1st 3 picks addressing it.....O was ignored for far too long under Mac
My friend said the same thing to me this morning. He said JD wasn't married to Gase. I asked why he thought that. He said, well all these one-year deals means that he can get rid of all these Gase-type players for next year if we can him. I replied, yeah, I guess that's a possibility or he just wants the cap flexibility.
GW is a modern-day miracle-worker We had the worst CBs in the league to start the year we were down to the re-treads by the end of the season. We lost Williamson in the pre-season and CJ basically after one game. Cashman went down to injury and even Hewitt at one point. We had re-tread Burgess leading the way at the end. We traded our "best" lineman to the Giants at the deadline and our prized third overall pick was hurt early and for the most part, completely invisible in his first year. Even Anderson didn't do well.
It's a good and tough question. We have a huge need at each, not to mention that Edge has been our biggest need for 2 decades.
Rex dropped eight in the box all game to beat Brady that one, if I'm not mistaken. Rushed three. That never works against the Pats. It did in 2010, IIRC.
He blitzed a few times but yes it was mostly a three man rush and dropping 8 back into coverage - the three were getting to Brady because he couldn’t find anyone open.
Todd, are you smoking dope in your isolation? I haven't seen any contract deals, but Burgess has never made more than minimum. He's made $1.7m in his career with no guaranteed money. If JD paid him $5m, that would be the equivalent of the Trumaine Johnson contract.rockaction said:
I have not found any details on the contract but considering they did not even tender him at original value as a RFA I can't imagine they then went on to pay him $5MM.
Yeah, I'm not worried about it. He's never been paid more than minimum. I'm just busting Todd's balls.
You're responsible for what you post. What if someone sees that Burgess signs for $5m and then accuses the Jets of tanking and then Farook comes along and berates him? Then the previous poster feels bad about the tanking comments and does something rash?
That's okay. There's not going to be football next year. We can't lose that way, so the anti-tankers should be happy.
More importantly, what are we going to do without football? Especially you since you post all the time in all the other threads. I guess it's never too early for your input on 2021 fantasy.
I mainly break down Chris Godwin in other threads. And Will Fuller. But the wellspring of life stems from those two.
Good luck with the Godwin and Fuller threads even thought I know you're joking .
The only way to defend this move is that there may not be any OTAs this offseason and/or even training camp so Fales knowing the offense already is a plus. Of course he showed to be total garbage so if Sam does have to miss games there’s no way to have any confidence in him holding down the fort. I’m not sure what they can really do at this point though. Some Jet fans want Flacco but he’s been terrible for the last few seasons and is coming off a major back issue. Sam needs to stay on the field.
That's a good point. These teams that switched coaches are going to have a rough start.
I hear you but Whats the point of knowing the playbook if he is awful? I thought they would have learned from last yr - so basically if Sam is out they are raising the white flag.....I think they will draft a developmental QB in the later rds to be a backup.
I would agree with this.
