Looks like Pierce has been a naughty boy this year...

Pierce's wife is hot and I wouldn't mind honoring her in anyway she pleases. As for Pierce himself, he might be interested in doing some math.

Like.....48m - 50%=F... me

If I remember it correctly Pierce was openly told by Gibbs that he was a core Redskin. I remember Gibbs saying that and how bad we needed to keep this guy. That was in 04 when Pierce led one of the best defenses in the NFL. So if you're told that by Gibbs and they let you walk how would you feel? All this while we over pay for certain free agents who couldn't play yet we do not pay one of our own who proved it on the field. No question Pierce should've handled it differently but I understand his bitterness. He wanted to stay here.
Check it out, but I think the offers were about the same from both teams

I think the difference essentially came down to a $6 million signing bonus versus a $4 million signing bonus. But just like Gibbs was saying they really wanted to keep Pierce. Pierce was saying he'd be willing to take less to stay a Redskin, which of course he didn't. The Redskins had already kept Pierce from leaving when the Vikings made an offer for him, but they just didn't do it twice. It happens, move on...yet Pierce can't.

How do you know that he was drunk and on top of that drunk driving. If you read the article it stated the lady drove them to the hospital. If we are going to bash someone atleast stick to facts.

First, I really don't give a sh*t about Pierce. If you read the article it stated they drank two bottles of Patron and they were out partying for a while (at different locations) before Plaxico shot himself. Did the article say she was the designated driver all night? So, he could have drove earlier.

haha pierce looked like a straight up nerd in that video. i get more love and attention from strippers and i dont have a few million in the bank. . . all pawing on the girl and she was turning her back to him . . . haha what a bama.

If the difference was nothing more than a $6M signing bonus vs a $4M signing bonus then that would have to be the only time in Danny Boy's ownership where a couple of million dollars kept the Skins from getting/keeping a player "they really wanted".

Something here does not ring true.

When the Skins sign a free agent away from another team for big bucks, usually the player says it was just a business matter - - and given what the Skins pay for some free agents that makes a lot of sense. Same thing happens when other players sign with new teams.

So Pierce "made this personal". Question is why?

Maybe he's a nasty person at the core - - but then how would Joe Gibbs have thought he was a "core Redskin"? Remember, Gibbs values people who are pure of heart.

Or maybe the wheeling and dealing tried by the FO at the time of those contract negotiations got under his skin and he thought the team was "disrespectful" - - whatever the hell that means.

Too many players leave the Redskins feeling "disrespected" or "not wanted" as compared to folks around the league. Pierce, Coles, Arrington, Bailey, B-Mitch come to mind. Other Redskins who left on less than fully positive terms include Bobby Mitchell - - merely a Hall of Famer who had been with the Skins in one capacity or another for about 40 years.

Where there's smoke, there just may be a fire...

It's in large part because many players feel like since the Redskins have been known to sign large contracts for some players they should just do it for everyone. Of course, let's just ignore all the players that stay or even come back. Plus B-Mitch technically came back as well I believe, and Bailey's problems were his own.

You're leaving out the main part Giantone. I said he basically comes across as a jerk. He was one of my favorite players until he got a big head and started acting like a prima donna. I feel the same way about him leaving as any other player. If you don't want to play for the Redskins, fine, seeya. But there is no need to badmouth the team after you leave. He wasn't treated badly. And that BS with Kendall in our first game just shows what he has become. Even after the Super Bowl he acted like a moron. "PUT THAT IN YOUR PAPERS! WRITE THAT." Please. Real Classy. There's no need to be upset with us because your team is going in the toilet Giantone. I can promise you we had nothing to do with it. :)

Nope I didn't leave anything out,as sportscurmudgeon said........"Too many players leave the Redskins feeling "disrespected" or "not wanted" as compared to folks around the league.

11-3 and our season is in the toilet...LOL.....dam I hope we're this bad all the time.:) Fact the Skins are notorious for paying other teams free agents more money then their own and that is what makes them leave.How much is Jason Taylor making yet what has he done for the Skins,does Andre Carter make as much,he's sure as hell played better and more.

Just treat them all the same way,it's fair.The discussion was about AP leaving...nobody is forgetting or ignoring anyone.Pretty sure B-Mitch came to the only team that would have him and could you expand about Bailey,what were "his" problems?
