Oh man, I forgot about Brandon Lloyd. 2006 was a good year, we also got Archuleta and Randle-El that year... :thumbup: Aside from acquiring Lloyd, the Redskins were also busy treating free agent wide receiver Antwaan Randle-El, safety Adam Archuleta, defensive end Andre Carter, and quarterback...

I agree it's probably the stupidest Redskins trade. There are other contenders though:2nd and 6th for Jason Taylor 3rd for TJ Duckett 4th for Trung Canidate 2nd + Bailey for Portis And there was almost 2 firsts for OchoCinco. That would have been the winner. Vinnie tried to win this...

Can he catch balls at his ankles?

Don't forget they renogiated his contract to give him $3.75M MORE in 2010, AFTER he was benched in the previous game. You really cannot make this stuff up. And we can't even blame that move on Vinnie.In McNabb's case, the Redskins paid their quarterback $3.75 million in 2010 for the right to pay...

Why would you fear Haynesworth in the division? He is likely to make his new team worse, not better. Everyone was surprised when the Eagles traded McNabb within the division last year, but what a coup that was. The Eagles simultaneously sabatoged the present (McNabb) and future (picks) of their...

Yeah, on the surface it looks like that to me. No one cares if retired players strike. Do they have anything more than the moral/nostalgia angle to press here?

I would like to see what that suit is based on. Was some previous contract breached? "Deserving more" doesn't seem like a strong legal argument.

Owner Dan Snyder gave defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and cornerback DeAngelo Hall around $36 million in bonus money in 2010 to free up room to be a big spender in free agency in 2011. Snyder and Mike Shanahan will have to be creative in how they structure contracts, because the $120 million...

The REDSKINS are in good cap shape??? I have got to go read that article....

I don't see what the big revelation is here. The main issue from day one was the owners' wanting an extra $1B "off the top" to cover increased expenses like stadium building.

You're saying it's common sense that NFL owners and GMs year after year knowingly hurt their team by overpaying the top dozen or so draft picks? That there are better ways to spend their payroll and they choose to spend it stupidly? Well, why not, afterall there is no pressure on GMs to succeed...

RUSF18, Ksquared, GregR, All I am saying is there is nothing built into the system that makes these top picks overpaid. If the teams could better spend that money on free agents or extending their own players they are free to do that. Just because Al Davis overpays doesn't mean anyone else has...

I personally think the rookies are getting screwed if there's a significant rookie cap. Seattle wouldn't pay Okung what they did if they didn't think he was worth it. This is nothing more than the current union members acting in their own self-interest (to be expected, nothing wrong with that...

I agree with this reasoning and I don't understand the big deal about this rooking pay scale. Drafted players already have no leverage and anyway, why do the owners care? Any money they save on rookies they will have to pay to veterans (any team that is spending up to its cap). It helps...

I don't get this discussion. The NFL has plenty of incentive to expand, which is why they do it periodically. The current owners profit when a new owner buys into the club. They grow the fanbase. I think all the American sports leagues are as big as they think they can go at any given moment...
