Redskins sign Landon Collins 6 yr/84M

Matty I want an Eric Schaffer avatar. This is amazing.

So if Denver is covering about 4 million of Keenum's contract and Collins only has a 4 million cap hit this year, does that mean Denver is paying Collins to play safety for us this year? That's cool. Thanks, Broncos.

So basically the Redskins are back loading this contract?

And reportedly the guaranteed amount is $30+ million, NOT $45 million

Kudos to this Front Office.

Collins only counts 4M against the cap next season!

I wager Collins will be used the way Sua Cravens was drafted to be used. Hybrid LB / Safety. Three safety package he goes to LB. Put him where he can impact the most not in a strict scheme.

Ha, speaking of that guy (off topic)...was listening to the sports radio earlier, and John Elway is like "He’ll have a chance to make the football team so we’ll see what he does."

:thumbsup:

Love ESPN. Their fucking ad works clear as day, but the Riddick video doesn't. Tried on more than 1 device. NFL.com videos work just fine. Fuck you ESPN.

Smart contract, again.

Tyrann Matthieu having signed with the Chiefs for a similar APY definitely reinforces the feeling we overpaid. But again we weren't getting a player of that caliber without overpaying a bit. Nobody would want to come otherwise.

The important thing is the signing bonus is small, so getting away from the Collins contract is easy after the guaranteed years pass by. It's a good deal for the team - he clearly wanted to play with the Skins at some point in his career.

Everyone really needs to ignore the $14M average annual value because with the way it's structured it's much more like a 2-3 year deal with options to continue the relationship.

Collins and the agent said they wanted the highest average annual value, Collins said he wanted to be a Redskin, and the team said OK we'll make it all happen but we're not taking a lot of risk by giving a big signing bonus. And they made it work.

As always we have to wait for full contract details before we can judge a free agent signing. This one's good.

Very reasonable deal, people that were scoffing over the initial numbers are looking pretty silly now.

Never judge a deal on the initial numbers.
