I agree. I like Carriker but his salary is relatively expensive and he can't get on the field. Time for a new start for both parties.

KI Skins Fan 02-05-2014, 11:46 AM I think we need to cut ties with Carriker, regardless of contract numbers. Not if he's healthy and will take less money. He played well before he got hurt. If his body holds up, he can be part of a nice rotation. We would still need to add a solid FA DT whether or not we cut Carriker and then re-sign him for less money. Schneed10 02-05-2014, 11:56 AM He's not the one saying anything... Yeah to echo Matty, jumping to conclusions and assuming Riley is driving for so much money isn't fair. Everyone has a place they start from in a negotiation, and privately everyone has a $ figure they know they'd accept when push comes to shove. Just because his agent might start by asking for $6M or $7M per season doesn't mean they won't take $3M or $4M. And besides, this has all been speculation by others to the media. Let's just wait and see how it plays out. SirLK26 02-05-2014, 11:59 AM Not if he's healthy and will take less money. He played well before he got hurt. If his body holds up, he can be part of a nice rotation. We would still need to add a solid FA DT whether or not we cut Carriker and then re-sign him for less money. He's been injured the last two seasons now, and he makes too much money to warm the bench. I think we could go younger and cheaper, and get the same or more production. Don't know how feasible this is, but perhaps you could cut him, then bring him back on a 1 year deal with a lower salary. If he stays healthy and performs well, then sign him to a longer deal worth more money next offseason. But the way Bruce Allen talked, I think Carriker will probably be gone. Chico23231 02-05-2014, 12:04 PM yeah, jump to conclusions with the Riley contract. Lets get a deal done at the right price.

We would still need to add a solid FA DT whether or not we cut Carriker and then re-sign him for less money. Carriker's leg has got to be jello. He had 3 surgeries in a year on one injury. He's almost 30. If he could come back and be even half the player he was before he got injured that'd be incredibly impressive. But I'm sure we could get younger, cheaper and probably less injured talent. MTK 02-05-2014, 01:00 PM He's probably a long shot but I'd like to see Carriker make it back. Just from following him on Twitter you can see he's working his tail off trying to get back. NC_Skins 02-05-2014, 02:24 PM I don't want AC back at a 6mil price tag. HELLLLLL NO. About 1/3 of that. Schneed10 02-05-2014, 02:42 PM The team has leverage with Carriker. There's no way he'd get his existing salary on the open market, the team definitely can feel safe in asking him to reduce his pay. CRedskinsRule 02-05-2014, 03:46 PM On Riley, the Redskins probably will offer him a " we like you a lot deal" but no where near what his starting point is. Then as Matty's article said, if you want to test it, let us know, and we will see what we can do. Certainly you don't break the bank on him, but you don't lowball a guy who has been a solid starter with good upside, when he's in a position that we need players. |
