Really not a big fan of this. I'd be on board if we didn't have two second rounders playing his position. But those guys need to play and play now. Plus think how bad NO wanted him outta there that they're paying him 17 mil to get out. We just don't have the infrastructure in place to deal with a head case like this.
If he's a problem you cut him, he's totally low risk. I'd bet he'll be on his best behavior to earn another big payday.

This'll be one of those cases where I need to learn to seperate the player from the person. Wouldn't be surprised if he's looking at a 6 game suspension though. If that's the case I hope we get a good ten games out of him. On another note the deal is about as team friendly as it gets, McC gets another check plus for the deal.

Hard to argue with the money but I am not happy. The guy is garbage and I don't compartmentalize.

I love our GM. So how about this deal? Someone else pays him $17-18 million NOT THE REDSKINS, that's a first. Then they cut him. We basically look at him and say here is some "minimum wage money, do what's right, keep your nose clean and oh by the way if you want to know how to act, look over on the opposite side of the field at that guy named Kerigan and act like him and look what you will get paid." In the last 2 days Scott McCloughan has acted more like a GM than any GM we have had since Bobby Beathard.
Good Point.......

>vet min.
really? wow. being able to cut bait at zero cost is definitely a huge plus if any signs of trouble show up. despite his character issues, he's a huge on-the-field upgrade, even if he's only playing 10 games.

^What makes the contract even better is the fact that we have the right of first refusal for next year.
Still, not a big fan of this move. I don't necessarily believe everything I've read about the guy, but where there's smoke there's usually fire. And Jay Gruden didn't exactly show great leadership skills last season.

You are so unbelievably dense.

Literally NO financial risk. So either you don't like depth or didn't pay attention to the Desean Jackson situation, where bringing in a supposed bad apple didn't ruin anything at all.

We have potentionally 4 starters at OLB. 2 excellent pass rushers and two that could be. I like it. Don't like his off field stuff, but it's so low risk that lets let it play out.

Why do you continue to act like a Mr. Know It All dickhead? I stated why I don't like the signing, solid reasons considering this dude is a loose cannon with low character. But you're always right on everything!
