Agreed on the Twitter comment.

My question is, what about Fletch? Are we letting him test the market and then come back to us?

Source told @FOXSports.com that #Colts WR Pierre Garcon signed 5-yr, $42.5M contract with #Redskins. Roughly $21.5M guaranteed.

That's #1 wideout money. I hope this FO knows what they're doing.

Did Hightower sign with us?

We need a couple OL guys to help on O and we are set.

Now what about the D's holes.

The NFL will void the contracts. I'm getting the feeling though that the NFL is settling for not giving the 4 teams the cap credit instead of the $46 million in fines but thats just me.

I think thats what the skins and him have agreed to do. Skins don't want to low ball him, probably gave him an offer and said you go out and find what other offers and we'll match it.

Nice news on AC, like the Garcon signing and Josh Morgan adds some depth and at 26 or 27 some youth. Now we need to look at oline or DB

Like the idea of letting Fletch test the market and see whats out there, but coming back to us with the details of the contract for us to match.

Wow...I guess with a contract like that thats the skins way of saying F the salary cap...

Eric Winston confirms that he is visiting Miami tonight...BRUCE CALL HIM

Like the moves both young explosive WR's, (thinking AA, maybe Moss are gone)... hopefully we can sign E. Winston

That means it would only affect our cap by about 13 mil instead of the 36 mil. Correct?

Oh wow. That's not cheap, but hope that means they like what they see from him.

But yeah, that's not as cheap as most were expecting by signing him.

No, $1.6 million is the tax credit so in my theory the Redskins would only be docked $1.6 million.

I think they wanted to get him off the market early... No competition.

Garcon turned down $7mil. a year to resign with the Colts. If we were gonna pry him loose we had to offer more. It's not like we offered a lot more.

He turned down 5 yrs / 35 million from the Colts, right? So you had to figure he would get paid more than that.
