We had great receivers, however we had a dominant OL / DL in both years. Without the Hogs putting Timmy Smith on the map in SB 22 and the least sacks allowed in NFL history in '91 (outside of a give-up final game where we rested starters). Those teams don't win the SB.

I'm not against the DJax signing, but it's got to be a cap friendly, back-loaded (as much as possible) contract where we can cut him loose if needed after 3 years. His speed/quickness is his only weapon and he's 27.

We also won't be a playoff contender each year with DJax, Garcon & RG3, but a medicore-poor OL & defense.

Elvis has left the building, without a contract.

My other source Eddie Spaghetti notes Desean Jackson has agreed to the following terms

5 years 75 million, 55 million guaranteed, bonus of 100 bottles of prego sauce if he catches one pass, bonus shoots up to 5000 bottles if he catches 2. The contract is laden with incentives, the most important being if DJax catches 10 passes, he will have to change his religion to pastafarian and worship the flying spaghetti monster, but he will get a lifetime supply of kraft macaroni and cheese.


So, worth it?

Your defensive line left the building too.

As time ticks by my faith in this is waining. I can't help but think this many hours ticking by means they can't come to an agreement.

True, but the agent does not sign a contract. It maybe bunk, but it's never a good thing to let a FA leave without a signature on a contract.

Silence is often a good thing though, leaks usually mean things are breaking down.

The agent writes the contract, uses a thing called a cell phone, and tells the player it's done, or moving on.

There is probably some haggling over, sticking point on, some way to recoup guarantees, and also over roster bonus structures (Bruce has used them in very creative ways this year). That said, if it's not done today, then Skins fans just need to be happy that he is at the least out of division. It's really a win win from the Skins perspective.

True. I guess that's one positive way to look at it. I've just never seen negotiations for a player last this long. But I'm usually never following the off-season anyway, so maybe they do.

If we don't sign him or he signs and pulls a Fat Albert, I'm going to be more upset about the fact that I created a twitter account just for today.
