Wynn restructures

[MTK]

Wynn, who had been a candidate to be released, restructured his contract, accepting a base salary of $850,000 with a $500,000 signing bonus and an opportunity to earn $1.5 million in performance incentives. He had been scheduled to earn $2.8 million.

I think it's safe to say he will not be getting 1.5 mil.

I find it interesting that in feb. Gibbs said we needed DE help, now he gave the DL a vote of confidence. That doesn't make sense.

I like Wynn, he always been a good run stopper. I think he's got a little left in the tank.

Are there any decent DL's waiting to be drafted today? Can we trade for any -- Kris Jenkins, maybe? If not, we need to be ready for another long season. Coach Gibbs' wife warned him not to come back. Maybe he should have listened to her. He can't fix an organization that has been dysfunctional from the top ever since it changed ownership.

well if this makes you feel any better i think we found golston in the 6th round last year. so they are some diamonds in the rough...they just need a little polishing. lets see what we do today.

Thank heavens. It would be devastating to lose his "locker room leadership."

I'm glad, I think Wynn can have a good year. He doesn't have a lot of time left but I think he can go 1 to 2 more years.

Can someone please explain why Wynn gets such a pass with Redskins fans?

Check these numbers:

Through 16 games in 2005, he had 24 tackles and one-half sack. Last year, in 15 games he had 14 tackles. That's it.

The guy is a complete bum who should have retired 5 years ago. He is one of the reasons people around the league think this team is a laughingstock.

The loyalty some people have for Renaldo Wynn is absolutely baffling.

This isn't really a restructure, this is essentially a paycut. I guess they're technically calling it a restructure because they're taking the money he was supposed to make and turning it into an incentive. But for all intents and purposes, this is a pay reduction. Good move by the Skins and all, but they don't really need the cap room; unless they intend to add a veteran player from around the league via a trade somehow. I can only hope that's what they're doing, and I hope that player comes along the defensive line, because if that's not the case I'm going to be one disgruntled Redskins fan.

This team needs to show me that they've got a plan.

Yeah, good research B. I don't know why he gets a pass. It is time for this team to adopt a policy of show me what you can do to help us WIN football games. And if you show us nothing, then you are gone, period.....

[SmootSmack]

I'm eagerly anticipating the questions Beem will have for Wynn when we have our chat with him.

Man, I agree w/ you 100%. Keeping Wynn around is simply ridicules. But this does not guarantee he makes the team does it? Couldn't someone come in and beat him out?

I think it's nothing more than a rotation signing, nothing more than depth. With a paycut. Hopefully he will have a decent season.

wynn is a good guy to have in the locker room, and he has never in his career been a dynamic pass rusher so if ur gonna pull up stats showing a lack of sacks you arent showing anyone anything new. he didnt even start last year so yet again showing last year's stats does little. every team needs depth, and we now have cheaper depth at DE and keep that leadership
