That works if it wasn't just a one year wonder *fingers crossed*

Its such a weird strategy....Make Collins the highest paid safety with one of the biggest contracts in Free agency...and then refuse to spend anymore money to address long standing issues on the team...WR, Guard, pass rusher...

All areas that have good depth in the draft.

Still terrible. Cap hit of $3.0M if he's on the team. If he plays a lot then it goes up to $4.0M.

One of the worst Redskins moves I can remember.

Way too early prediction... Flowers won't make the team

Agree. Cannot wait to hear the spin on the pod.

I will give you that one as I didn't completely explain what I meant. I was meaning to imply players than never amounted to anything before being taken in by the Redskins. AP was cast aside due to age and recent play on a bad team. Flowers had the under performing "bust" label on him.

Quite possible. And that would suck, because $1.5M of this deal is guaranteed. $1.0M was given at signing, and $500K of the salary is guaranteed.

So he could get cut and cost us $1.5M on the cap.

Even the most optimistic of Skins fans have to hate this deal. It's one of the worst I've seen.

Let's remember that we do have 4 picks in the first 3 rounds. Hopefully we can nail this draft and get 3 quality starters with those picks. LG, pass rusher and a safety

Also, Cam Sims I think will push Docston. He was really having an outstanding preseason last year. At 6'5 he could be the breakout player we need. Just wonder why he didn't have more production at Bama.

I am not 100% sure but I think I remember reading an article explaining that Alabama's offense don't rely on WRs as much as some offenses do.

We don't know that they haven't tried to address other areas, and just not been able to make the deal. We know they were in the mix for Antonio Brown...certainly reasonable to think that without being the highest bidder, no one WANTS to come here unless they have no other options...such as Flowers.

Charlotte IOL Nate Davis has private visits with the following: #Titans, #Bills, #Rams, #Vikings, #Redskins & #Falcons. Popular guy, and with good reason. Helluva player.

Ok, I'll play.

My way too early prediction: Flowers not only makes the team, but starts more than 10 games at left guard.

He's big, strong, and athletic, he no longer has the pressure of being the 9th overall pick, and he's likely more motivated now than ever. He has trouble in space, but that will be mitigated working between Chase and Trent. He now has one of the best O-line coaches in the league.

We can all agree that he has been a dud at LT, but maybe Bill can turn him into the next Mark May or Brandon Scherff.

If not, the team isn't out a whole lot.

Someone should start a poll for this, whether he ultimately makes the team and the over/under for how many games he starts.

Agreed, we could've kept a proven swing tackle for close to that price:
