I don't understand how people can be upset about this. If you don't resign him, you waste two draft picks and are stuck with either sexy rex or a rookie. How is that better? Signing him for five years isn't guaranteeing that he'll start until his contract is up.
Stuck with a rookie? Yeah I guess that wouldn't work out too well... Just look at what the Lions, Rams, Jets, Ravens and Falcons got stuck with. Nahhh, we wouldn't want nothing like that.

5 years 40 mill is fair if he can stay healthy and play consistent. The incentives are there if he wants to be lights out and take us to the SuperBowl and complete a hand of rings. Will that happen?
I think this is more of a bu$ine$$ move than anything else. They weighed their options of draft availability, need of OL/WR priority, likelihood of getting better player via FA, divided by jersey/tickets sales and the interest of having our first HOF QB retire with the team since ...SONNY? IDK.
Now we can get to business. Renovate OL and cast our bait and hope to land WR's in FA and rebuild.

Well, Mortensen just said that when the details of the contract come out, it will in all likelyhood be about $10-$12M in new money, and the Skins will have the ability to walk away from the deal after 1 or 2 seasons before the rest of this guaranteed money really kicks in. If that's the truth, then I can definitely live with that.
It's a good deal. The offseason crop of FA's blows. Draft...think again.....under contract...BECK
It's a good deal

Mcnabb's actual TD-Int ratio is 7-6. 2 of his INT's were off end of half hail mary's.

If it makes them protect their investment more, i.e., keep more in pass blocking and go less for bombs and more for intermediate routes, I'm all for it.

All teams with much better offensive lines than ours. If bradford was behind the redskins o-line right now, we would be screaming for grossman...we're lucky to have a quarterback like mcnabb who can actually make plays when he's under siege, or else this season looks just like last year.

Just heard Bruce A. saying this deal was offered to DM in October and the goal then was to get it done in the bi week.
The bi week? Come on dude that can't be for real

Are you saying I need to spell it out as Bye week or that Bruce A did not just say that on the radio?

None would be ideal, but it's also not realistic for the Redskins.
