Cooley comments on Jason Taylor

Vinny & Co. never learn their lesson just look at this offseason. The Skins are back to their free spending ways for players I am afraid at the end of the day wont make much of a difference. I'd have rather had them get 4 $20 mil lineman instead of 1 for $100mil. As long as DS & Vinny are in charge this team will continue to rule the off season and be also-rans once the season starts.

The team has gotten rid of older players (Washington, Springs, possibly Kendall) and brought young players (Haynesworth, Dock, adn Hall). The old Skins would have given Jason Taylor a new fat contract last year, and this year they would have overpaid for TJ Housh this year. Not to mention that the team is building through the draft (3 young receivers last year, and the possibility of a stud o-lineman this year). While making a splash by signing Haynesworth is very Snyderesque, I think they are slowly learning.

i think they should remake the movie 300 and cast JT as the persian king....xerxis or however its spelt. does he or does he not look that that ugly POS who had Leonidias KILLED?

Taylor could have bought more bling than that guy with the $8.5

Beat it twinkel toe.

You know, that's a good point. If we would have seen Ray Lewis, Housh and a 3 year extension for Springs and Taylor then I could definitely sign off on 'same old Redskins' but like John Clayton said, since when is signing the best defensive lineman in the league a bad thing? There's a lot of prejudice when it comes to free agency that we buy into. I'm not trying to be a Snyderatto apologist but just because we spent a lot of $ (2 players with Redskins pedigree no less) doesn't equate to same old same old.

good post

apologist...that is something I have never understood..

why people who get excited about the buzz of being a fan of a team..that actually tries to win it all..that they should be monolithic? Free Agency is a blast in the middle of the stinking winter

I dig what Snyder does to get attention and make the team better..there's no place where I need to apologize for that..no other team.. their fans.. or journalist I need to explain that to

Well you have to realize that the contract isn't 100 mil it's really 4 years for 48 mil or something like that. Either way it's a shit load of money for a DT and one guy isn't going to make a huge difference ( unless it's a QB) so I agree with you. This isn't basketball. I like what the Giants are doing. Add some less expensive pieces to an already good team.

It's not a bad thing if there isn't going to be a salary cap. But if there is one then I'm not paying a DT 12 mil a year. One DT doesn't impact a game the way a QB does and he's getting paid Tom Brady money.

Ya know, I have never been anti-Giants, but I swear after listening to so many members here gush at the Giants off season moves I think I may :vomit:.
Recapping:
they now have 7 starting linemen all with solid salary cap numbers, not all 7 can play at once, a good 2nd year safety, so they go out and add a safety, don't do anything for their cornerback position. and on offense they let one of their EWF crew go to another team, don't upgrade the line(backups), don't upgrade receivers.
