REAL football news - Skins sign Atogwe!

I like the signing. I thought Moore would turn out well and he still may....but when you get your chance you have to take advantage of it. Competition is a GOOD thing. Shannahan has shown he doesn't care what you get paid...you EARN your starts. Good move.

Does Atogwe have much left in the tank? I'm not too excited about this move. It seems like patchwork, using worn out patches.

So any details on how the salary is spread? If its a typical skins contract its all bonus, low yearly with the salary jumping towards the end(when he can be cut). Wouldn't be opposed to that.

I'll never move on. That number should not be worn in B&G again!

BTW- Danny would never allow it.

The Early Lead - Should O.J. Atogwe, or any other Redskins player, wear No. 21? (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/early-lead/2011/03/should_oj_atogwe_or_any_other.html)

He's not wearing 21

great signing.now when the draft comes we can worry about filling the needs at OLB,QB,and NT.

He's not wearing 21

With ST's locker enshrined at Fed Ex....hard to imagine anyone else ever wearing # 21 on the field.

I have a feeling, not based on any new info just my opinion, that this signing is an indication that they want Barnes to focus on CB and are fully prepared (maybe prepared isn't the best word) that they won't be coming to a final agreement with Carlos Rogers and plan on moving on without him.

Again, just speculating here

^^Looking forward to the tandem of Landry and Atogwe at the safety positions. Barnes has made it clear CB is where he'd rather play, should Rogers decide to move his wish may be granted. With Landry, Atogwe and Hall our secondary has playmakers.

Atogwe is a good player, a solid player. I think the doubters will be pleasantly surprised once we see him on the field. Definitely an upgrade over Moore or anyone else we've had back there with Landry since #21 roamed.
