He just needs to focus on only beating QB's and he'll be fine

re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

I love our GM. So how about this deal? Someone else pays him $17-18 million NOT THE REDSKINS, that's a first. Then they cut him. We basically look at him and say here is some "minimum wage money, do what's right, keep your nose clean and oh by the way if you want to know how to act, look over on the opposite side of the field at that guy named Kerigan and act like him and look what you will get paid." In the last 2 days Scott McCloughan has acted more like a GM than any GM we have had since Bobby Beathard.

Isn't this guy still subject to a suspension?

yes...very much inline for one

re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

I'm no moralist when it comes to football.

I don't know this guy from jack. All I've heard is rumor and I've done no research to find out the facts.

From a football aspect the upside far outweighs the downside for me.

Junior is a legit edge rusher. Ryan+Hatcher+Paea+Junior is a hellacious pass rush.

re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

Great signing. One year vet min. Awesome

If he could only take a belt on the field with him....

in the video, he look like a haitian Indiana Jones with that thing

If convicted of that crime from 2 years ago that is still under investigation, he could be suspended 6 games. Maybe another reason for the cheap contract.

re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

He is immediately the best league minimum pass-rusher in football.

re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

Really not a big fan of this. I'd be on board if we didn't have two second rounders playing his position. But those guys need to play and play now. Plus think how bad NO wanted him outta there that they're paying him 17 mil to get out. We just don't have the infrastructure in place to deal with a head case like this.

If he's a problem you cut him, he's totally low risk. I'd bet he'll be on his best behavior to earn another big payday.

re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

This'll be one of those cases where I need to learn to seperate the player from the person. Wouldn't be surprised if he's looking at a 6 game suspension though. If that's the case I hope we get a good ten games out of him. On another note the deal is about as team friendly as it gets, McC gets another check plus for the deal.

re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

Hard to argue with the money but I am not happy. The guy is garbage and I don't compartmentalize.

Good Point.......

re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

vet min?

>vet min.

really? wow. being able to cut bait at zero cost is definitely a huge plus if any signs of trouble show up. despite his character issues, he's a huge on-the-field upgrade, even if he's only playing 10 games.

re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

^What makes the contract even better is the fact that we have the right of first refusal for next year.

Still, not a big fan of this move. I don't necessarily believe everything I've read about the guy, but where there's smoke there's usually fire. And Jay Gruden didn't exactly show great leadership skills last season.

You are so unbelievably dense.

re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

Literally NO financial risk. So either you don't like depth or didn't pay attention to the Desean Jackson situation, where bringing in a supposed bad apple didn't ruin anything at all.

re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

We have potentionally 4 starters at OLB. 2 excellent pass rushers and two that could be. I like it. Don't like his off field stuff, but it's so low risk that lets let it play out.

Why do you continue to act like a Mr. Know It All dickhead? I stated why I don't like the signing, solid reasons considering this dude is a loose cannon with low character. But you're always right on everything!

I guess you and I are dense, because I have many of the same concerns. Talented no doubt, and sure it's a limited financial risk. But there are reasons to be concerned with this signing.

Re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

Everyone should have at least some concern about this signing, even if folks disagree about the level of concern and whether it warrants taking a pass - unless you can not a whit about the character of guys on the team. For those (like me) who do, while I'd vote to pass on the guy, I don't assume folks who weigh it differently are dense (or indifferent to domestic violence). No reason for this to devolve to name-calling. Let's save that for the Cowpukes.

I agree...most concerned about what I read about a division within the saints lockerroom and how in come cases he may have been a contributing factor. But I don't know this for sure.

I thought his Twitter rant is petty and a big red flag for immaturity and not being a good teammate as well.

Of course the video speaks for itself...def not the way a man should carry himself...ever. But that's been 2 years ago, things change. Haitian Indiana jones with a belt as a whip...

With all that said, Matty made the best point...u got to believe in a contract year and a fresh start he will be smart enough to keep his shit together and contribute. The financial part is mute ..vet min...no risk. Those 2 things make this a thumbs up. McC is willing to give someone else a chance like the skins gave him

Re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

In Scott we trust

I don't believe it is him in the video.

The man in the video has an attached earlobe:

Pure coincidence regarding the clothes. If you look carefully, the man in the video is wearing clothes from K-Mart. No NFL player would wear clothes from K-Mart.

I think the ear lobe discrepancy and the fact that Junior had ten sacks last season prove conclusively that the man in the video is not him.

Judgment should be withheld until Murphy's improvement is fully evaluated.

Re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

Realistically based on what we know, this is a risky and unwise move.

But the key part is - do you believe in McC, since he's telling us in no uncertain terms he's done a Lot of research on this guy and it checks out. Knighton vouches for the guy. I personally think there's risk -- but im willing to trust that our brass has done their due diligence to reduce risks. For vet minimum this could create a ferocious d-line, at least on paper. And if he works out, there's potential for us to lock him up longer term next year. Murphy and preston will get their time to develop.

Re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

Not sure I see much risk involved here, if he's a turd you cut him. We've got some good leadership on D to hopefully have him fall in line with.

Re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

Exactly, if he's a problem, kick his budget ass to the curb and move on.
HOWEVER, the more I hear from him, the more I like...The Potroast Man. I am certainly willing to give him and the team a chance to turn this guy around. If he can keep his s... straight, holy hell what a coup that would be.

I dunno...facial recognition looks close, but that guy in the beach picture doesn't look like he has NFL Linebacker "guns". Don't you think they look rather normal?

Re: Junior Galette signs with Redskins (updated)
 

So Galette is Haitian just like Garcon and Francois. Maybe those 2 can mentor and help Galette mature, skins must have some Haitian fans.

Galette told Mclovin the truth about what happened in the video:
