Voted down. Thought we weren't the cowboys.

Knowing that, how you can still have concerns baffles me, and shows you don't understand the NFL's transaction process.

Well it's not the end all, be all argument. There is the issue of is the locker room/organization strong enough to handle a player who is known to have been difficult for teammates to deal with in the locker room; will likely less playing time negatively impact Trent Murphy's (and Preston Smith's) development; what about the strong possibility he could be suspended for up to half the season. The first two in particular could linger long after the financial implications are gone.

Totally agree! I wish we had passed on him.

All worth the risk IMO. McCloughan agrees.

I agree, I think at that price he's worth the risk. I would hate to have watched him sign with a division rival (at that price) and terrorize our QB next year. The Skins needed another pass rusher and got a pretty damn good one. Sure he comes with some risk (maybe alot), but I trust what the front office is doing this year.

What do you think in regards to the suspension, any guestimates? Im so lost on the league and the penalties and where are we on the investigation???

Goodell's credibility and transparency, I mean, he could work within Obama's cabinet...

[SmootSmack]

I really don't know

[Schneed10]

K well if suspended, you start Smith or Murph, find out about them, and then are armed with more knowledge about them and can make a better decision on Galette next season.

I'd also like to remind you guys that double digit sack speed rushers don't grow on trees.

[Schneed10]

And you can never have too many of them. New York didn't complain when Mathias Kiwaunuka didn't crack the starting lineup.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Galette, Pae, Hatcher, Kerrigan as a NASCAR package is pretty stout if you ask me

Considering Smith was a decent inside pass rusher in college too it seems as though we have some options this uear

Civil suit against former Saints linebacker Junior Galette dismissed, attorney says | NOLA.com

"We did our investigation," said McCloughan. "We were thorough, thorough, thorough. We went to the league office and other players [and coaches] in the league. This guy, we feel very comfortable bringing him on board. Very comfortable.

"The decision was made because we really believe he's a Redskin and that's why I signed him."

Either you believe in Scotty M or you don't.

[ethat001]

I believe in McC.

Have no reason not to yet, and otherwise there is no hope.
