Collins will be here next year to back up Campbell, at the very least.

Is it just me or isn't that a bit much for a backup QB who is as old as dirt?

I think that's a pretty fair deal for a #2 these days.

Plus the market is just crazy. Some DT in Oakland who I've never heard of got $18 million in guarantees ... Andre Davis got $8 million in guarantees ... and we won't have Brunell's big contract and will likely go after a low-priced #3 QB so it will work out numbers wise. Good news I think, to have TC back. Glad they got this done.

Really?? I think that was way too much. I don't think older back-ups like Brad Johnson, Trent Diler, Gus, Kerry Collins or Charlie Batch made or make that much. I'm glad he's back but for 3mil a year?? I'm not sure JC is making much more than that.

I was thinking the same thing but how much of that money will TC ever see and how much is based off him actually playing?

Very nice, good to have TC back sniffing footballs for the Redskins

[CPAlltheWay012]

meh.. i still think Brunell might have been a better fit for THIS offense..

[FRPLG]

I think TC could be a great match for this offense. He does lack mobility which will hurt but he is super accurate and is a smart player who can pick the offense up and understand how to execute it. As a backup he can be valuable. His mobility can be offset with more 3 step drops which are a staple in some forms of the offense. This is a good move to me. Seems like a liked guy so it is good for the locker room.

Anyone else stoked that our priority FA siging was Todd Collins? Way to show some level headedness and restraint.

[MTK]

I like that we're focusing on our own guys first and taking a wait and see approach to the FA market.

I hate to say I called this, but I kinda did say that I thought there was a good chance TC would be back. WHERE'S MY CREDIT?!
