and one more thing we still have to sign a middle linebacker ,and what p.riley is asking for might be to much also.we mneed help bad.....
Not sure why Riley is asking for a lot of money. To me he's just a serviceable LB that gets exposed in coverage.

Ideally Rak will be back at 8.5 per and Riley back at 3.25 per. That's bout their value. Add d'quell Jackson at 5.5 per, I'll be a happy camper

Jairus Byrd will be a Redskin. I will stake SmootSmack's reputation on it. (Or someone of equal value, like Jackie Chan........or Jackie Kennedy-Onassis)

Man, I feel pretty bitter they won't get this done. Of all the guys to pay Rak is one of them. We let him go and it will come back to haunt us. The guy is what we need to keep on the defense.
How so? With him? Our defense was one of the worst in the league. Without him, this team won the division.
Rak doesn't dominate. Period. I would equate him to a Cliff Anvril, and last time I checked, he was paid 8mil/yr.
Look at his number the last part of the season and then see who they were against. Back up left tackles. You do NOT pay a guy who's good, elite money. Let somebody else make that mistake.

That's certainly glossing over things. Many other factors at play.

Looks like Vontae Davis will not be tagged.
I'd invite him to look around.

I think most of us would like that but both Rak and Jackson are virtually certain to get more than that. I also wouldn't be surprised if Riley gets $4.5 from the Skins because he's worth more to us than he is to other teams (we're very thin at ILB and he knows our system).

Our record those two years is neither here nor there. His position warrants a paid day. I know we have other holes, but go back and watch RK get handled the year before with out Rak. Yeah we won, but I put that on the offense not the defense.
If we need to build a staunch defense then let's start with our strength and that's our OLBs. Pay'em contracts for these types of players are only going to get heftier in the coming years with the cap climbing 20 mil the next 2 years and even higher in the future.
Put it this way I want to pay our player more than I want to pay a Paul Kruger troupe guy.

Looks like they will tag him if they can't complete the deal.
