Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

Right. BEST case scenario is Rak goes somewhere else, we sign Rob Jackson to a cap-friendly contract, then find out that he's nowhere close to as good as Orakpo.

Not saying Rob Jackson is the answer I named some viable replacements in Michael Johnson and Jason Worilds, who both could be cheaper.

I am saying we should not let Rack and his agent walk all over us because he doesn't have max production at his position IMO.

Don't we already know that? :)

IMO we likely will overpay for Rak, as it will take some elite money to sign him despite the fact that he has not put up elite numbers. But not to sign him creates a large hole which is very difficult to fill.

I.......REALLY don't want this thing to go Champ Bailey on us.......

Why is no one brining up the major injury issues for the last 3 years? Does anyone consider him an injury liabilty? I can sre us signing him, and anothrr injury next season aroung the halfway point. It wouldn't be surprising at all given the recent history. I'm a fan of rak, but lets not forget how many games have been missed since 2011.....

you pay rak. he's here, he's working, you pay him. unless someone offers him a stupid deal like dockery got in buffalo.

He has missed one season.Besides that one injury he has missed two games in his career if I remember correctly. Its like saying Brady is injury prone because he missed one season.

Exaggerate much?

He's missed one season in his career.

I apologize. I thought he hurt his shoulder/pec earlier in the 2011 season. I'm not against re-signing him by any means...just playing devils advocate. I would have fact checked myself before posting, but I was in post nyquil haze after I woke up...

Orakpo stays, no question
