Redskins sign DE Stephen BowenD'BOYZ 07-28-2011, 02:22 PM Why are we signing someone that couldn't start for Dallas? Not a fan of this one. He was actually going to be the starter thsi year and was the starter last year after Spears went down. Of the 3 FA DE we had Spears, Bowen and Hatcher... our front office wanted Bowen back vallin21 07-28-2011, 02:22 PM Why are we signing someone that couldn't start for Dallas? Not a fan of this one. Agreed... And we overpaid for him (5yr 27.5 milion). And 12.5 million up front? steveo395 07-28-2011, 02:24 PM I'd be surprised if Jenkins is signed now. We can afford him, but this was not an insignificant deal. People need to start writing either J. Jenkins or C. Jenkins to avoid this confusion Yeah I meant Jarvis Jenkins there. JoeRedskin 07-28-2011, 02:24 PM Well, he's 3 years younger than C. Jenkins. Perhaps it was a "buy the younger guy" kind of deal. Revamping the line certainly. Not seeing a lot of run-stuffers in the new group though. rbanerjee23 07-28-2011, 02:25 PM Why are we signing someone that couldn't start for Dallas? Not a fan of this one. yeah, me neither - dude's started 11 games in 5 seasons and clearly hasn't made much of an impression. To give him as much money as they did is a little stupid in my book. Monkeydad 07-28-2011, 02:25 PM Dallas fans seem to be high on him. He had been a backup but a productive one. Interesting development, because Dallas was our competition for Cullen Jenkins. I do not think this ends our chances...we have money to spend, Dallas has been scrambling to get under the cap enough just to re-sign a couple of guys like Doug Free. Last news: Redskins closing in on a deal with Cullen Jenkins | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/28/redskins-closing-in-on-a-deal-with-cullen-jenkins/) diehardskin2982 07-28-2011, 02:26 PM Agreed... And we overpaid for him 5yr 27.5 mil. And 12.5 million up front? No they did not over pay. He is young and on the upswing in his career. Jenkins has been hurt on and off in his career and still wanted a pay day. D'BOYZ 07-28-2011, 02:29 PM No they did not over pay. He is young and on the upswing in his career. Jenkins has been hurt on and off in his career and still wanted a pay day. Exactly I like this way more... you get a young guy with not much wear and tear cheap because he will be your starter for the next 5 years at 5 mill per year Beemnseven 07-28-2011, 02:33 PM For what it's worth... Cowboys "scared to death" (http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2011/7/26/2295842/dallas-cowboys-free-agent-signings-doug-free-stephen-bowen-status) over losing Bowen. Monkeydad 07-28-2011, 02:34 PM He was stuck behind Igor Olshansky and Marcus Spears on the depth chart...two very good DEs. He is probably one of the top 3-4 DEs available, along with Cullen. We might get both of them! | |
