Cool thanks I want to hear what Gibbs has to say. I am really pissed off about Freddy signing with the dam Vikings!!! :frusty: He was one of my favorite players last year!

[Paintrain]

Damn firewalls! I can't listen at work.. Please recap when it's done.

[Gmanc711]

Glad he gets to talk about losing these guys. Wants to tlak to the fans about adressing it.

[Gmanc711]

Fred & Antonio were imporant. Both played well; made a commitment " We promised to do our best to keep our players together. Especially "core group"." They made the commiment; and both players they went after hard and early.

[That Guy]

at least gibbs is upfront and willing to explain whats happened...

[Gmanc711]

Expressed disire to get contracts done before season ended; continued. Needed to stay within confidnes of what works with everyone; needed to put other players plans into thought. Couldnt pay someone more than someone else in a similar postion (Springs??)

[Redskins_P]

also said that they began negotiating with Fred and Antonio during the season

[Gmanc711]

If you pay more to a player, effecting decisons down the road. Not so much the money as it is players, wants to keep players together. Not as much $$; "wish we didnt have salary cap" - someone on this board called that quote.

[That Guy]

basically going to say that they cost too much and would have hurt the team in other places, and that he didnt want to pay more for smoot than springs, because it'd set a precedent to overpay springs or whoever else further down the road.

[BossHog]

Hopefully Greg Williams will speak. Then again, He respects Gibbs too much to have to.

[Gmanc711]

In this situation; they had 14 FA's. They gave the players a choice; and they went after guys. Thinks were all set with Ray Brown. Were successful with 14 guys and lost two guys (Perice/Smoot)
