Redskins reportedly agree to terms with WR Paul Richardson
As first reported by the NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Redskins have reportedly agreed to terms with former Seahawks wide receiver Paul Richardson:
Redskins are expected to sign WR Paul Richardson to a five-year, $40 million deal with $20 million in guarantees, sources say.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) March 13, 2018
Richardson, who stands 6’0″ and weighs 183 pounds, was drafted out of the University of Colorado by Seattle in the 2nd round of the 2014 draft. He has elite top-end speed and was timed at 4.40 seconds in the 40 yard dash at the 2014 NFL Combine, but has been timed as low as 4.28 seconds.
In his 4 year career, Richardson has played 47 games, starting 19, and has 95 receptions on 161 targets for 1,302 yards and 13.7 yards per reception, with 8 touchdowns. 2017 was his best year, with 44 receptions on 80 targets for 703 yards and 16.0 yards per carry.
Richardson has suffered one major injury in his pro career, a torn ACL in the Seahawks’ 2014 playoff game against the Panthers which caused him to miss all but one game of the 2015 season.
He would join a receiver corps that includes starters Josh Doctson and Jamison Crowder, plus Maurice Harris and second year player Robert Davis.
Richardson cannot sign his contract until Wednesday, March 14, when the 2018 league year begins. The Hog Sty will have more details as they arise.

Is that a beep
Affirmative
Yes.
baseball?
Ideally we’d like to see a DL, ILB, and CB/FS signing in FA. Not sure they will have the $$$ to land a top dude at all 3 levels of the D.
More Top 50:
Todd Davis – 25-year-old ILB excels vs. run, struggles in coverage. Broncos want him back.
Morgan Burnett – Defensive chess piece has played safety, slot CB, nickel/dime linebacker.
Kenny Vaccaro – 15th overall pick in 2013 draft offers safety/slot CB versatility. Just turned 27.
Davon House – Big-bodied 28yo CB was up and down in 12 starts for last year’s Packers.
E.J. Gaines – 26yo was difference-maker CB when in lineup for Bills defense. Long injury history.
Who’s remaining for DL
Most of the DL that was left I posted below.
Benny Logan, Beau Allen, Poe, Richardson, is about it.
Thank you
Still want some restructuring and more FAs brought in
Me too….paradigm has shifted to using your cap space on quality young FA….not being cheap.
Poe and vita would be wrecking balls on the DL
They’d be totally redundant, IMO.
Rotation
Disagree
Interior ol wreckers
Short yardage and goal line situations though
Poe and BJ Hill
Poe and Trenton Thompson
Poe and Chubb
Allen, Poe, Chubb
Hill, Ion, TT

CB DJ Hayden expected to sign with #Jaguars: 3 years, $19 million with $9.5 million guaranteed. Upside to $21 million.
Some of the top 50 I’d like to see us try and get:
Tre Boston – Solidified Chargers FS position with career-high 5 interceptions. 26 in June.
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie – Cut by NYG. Still quality slot corner at age 31. Visited WAS.
Sheldon Richardson – 27yo DT with some off-field flags. Disruptive vs. run and pass on the field.
Dontari Poe – Massive NT shined on one-year, $8M Falcons deal last season. Turns 28 in Sept.
Ryan Jensen – 26yo can play all 3 interior OL positions. Started 16 games at C for ’17 Ravens.
I think DRC can be a bridge CB for a year, his 2016 was much better than any CB we had.
I dunno about DRC being quality. Serviceable. Maybe.
Still not into Richardson. Basket case types aren’t my thing.
Poe…ehh.
Jensen…that’d be a get. We need versatile help on the line.
👍🏻 Jensen
Don’t forget Phil Taylor is still on the roster…For a week until he is injured again
LOL
If that dude could ever stay healthy we would be set on dl
Sad part is, he puts in the time and the work. That makes me feel for the dude. I can only wonder, after all these years, does he have it in him to be prepared to play again and be ready for OTA’s. Pardon the pun, but I am pulling for Taylor.
Ditto.

Browns Signing RB Carlos Hyde To Three-Year, $15M Deal http://bit.ly/2HzFro6
Good player.
I wish we got Crowell
Easy to say now but I do not want any FA RB for that type of coin when we can find a better RB in the draft to have on a rookie deal for 4-5 seasons.
FA RBs…………hard to keep the pockets straight.
Need to stick with the FARTs
And FA Gs
Poe, Logan, or Richardson will be fine. Also…def getting a RB with the 2nd round pick. BPA on defense with 13 and RB with round 2.
They could pull a New Orleans Ditka and trade up to get Barkley. Then take the rest of the draft off until the 7th round.
WIF,
I agree with you about hearing how other teams are starting rookies or UDFA in key spots, I think we don;t do enough of that. The best way to learn is by playing.
We seem to think if the guy is not a first round pick he can’t be good.
EXACTLY!
And any FA who wasn’t All Pro is a bad deal.
I think we have the teachers on defense to take those types of chances. I’m not so sure on the offensive side of the ball like RBs, WRs and TEs.
We’ve got UDFAs all over the roster. Especially the defense. And really especially the secondary.
And the young guys have been getting on the field for years now.
Anthony Lanier, UDFA and about to blow up in 2018.
Really who?
Nope
Nope what nope we don;t have UDFA all over the roster, yes that’s correct.
Nope you’re cut off nope
You asked last week about who are the RBs in the league playing past 5 years. I went through the top 20 RB from last season, gave you name and years in the league.
And you didn’t say a damn thing. Let alone a thanks.
So yea. You’re cut off. Gonna have to look shit up yourself from now on.
*staring dumbfounded, at a flickering monitor* gulp – flounder
Use the dinosaur weapon
Moreau Holsey Nicholson Norman Swearinger Cravens Sample- not UDFA
Dunbar, Everette, Smithson – UDFA
K Ladler – CFL
What’s it going to cost to sign a guy like Richardson?
4-5 years 60-70mil?
Sheldon?
Yes
FWIW, Spotrac est for him is 5 years/60 mil
He’s 27
Sounds about right
because they use previous contracts for other players in that estimate, it is probably a little bit light, but in the ballpark.

Terrell McClain: 2018 cap hit $4.68M, and $7M dead. 2019, $5.75M and $2.5M dead.
Stacy McGee: 2018 cap hit $4.8M, and $3,2M dead. 2019, $4.8M and $2.4M dead.
Ziggy Hood: 2018 cap hit $1.58M, and $150K dead. 2019, UFA.
_________________________________________________________________________________
McClain is going to stay no way you can justify that dead cap hit. McGee and Hood could go though if they are beat out.
Horrible fn signings.
Yeah agreed
Not our happiest of hours.

I want the Redskins to keep Kendall Fuller, Zach Brown, Breeland, Grant and Kirk Cousins! I want more shitty seasons!!! Keep all the players from a losing team!!! But I also want only the best Free Agents and the best available draft picks. We can afford it!!!!!!
– Morons
We wouldn’t be 4-12 if we hadn’t let Ryan Grant go.
LOL and agreed
No way man. Build thru the draft! After 4 years we can build thru the draft again !! Brown?? Man we can build thru the draft! LBs a dime a dozen !! Overpay a Dlineman ??? Nuts. Sign a Cowboy ! Build thru the draft !!! LB that can tackle and cover ?? Man build thru tbe draft!! CBs that finally were decent after 10 straight years of FAIL?? Let em GO…easily replaced cuz this crew been so successful w CBs ….and building thru the draft. !! LOL.
Everything you posted was intellectually dishonest.
Brown was no game-changer for us. He racked up tackles but he got beat a ton. He is off to get game-changer money and I am HAPPY not to pay him that. Which Cowboy did we sign? Oh yeah, non. You have your panties in a wedge over a 3rd round slot corner we traded in an effort to stabilize our QB position for multiple years? Seriously bruh?
By the way, our drafts over the last few years have been as good or better than they have been for over a decade.
McGee and McClain and Hatcher werent Cowboys ? Fuller and a 3rd rd pick given up….not intellectually wrong.
There is no way we should have traded Kendall Fuller. Everyone knows that the most important position in all of sports is slot corner. If you don’t have a slot corner you aren’t going anywhere. And we traded a good one for a quarter back? Are you kidding me?
LOL
Etrod wins the blog.
you know what i’m tired of hearing when the redskins are playing? such-and-such (other team) is starting 3 new players and 2 rookies on the [name position group] and they’ve really picked it up. can we do that?
Me too
You forgot the hashtag.
I’m tied of hearing “team x is at the bottom of the league in category y” and then seeing team x dominate the skins in category y
“then seeing team x dominate the songs ”
——————————-
i hate when teams dominate songs. mic hogs!
etrod,
anyway, yes, that is a way-too-frequent refrain. do we ever hear that about the redskins doing that to other teams?
Restructure TW and RKerrigan and bring back Gallette and Murphy
Terrell McClain: 2018 cap hit $4.68M, and $7M dead. 2019, $5.75M and $2.5M dead.
Stacy McGee: 2018 cap hit $4.8M, and $3.2M dead. 2019, $4.8M and $2.4M dead.
Ziggy Hood: 2018 cap hit $1.58M, and $150K dead. 2019, UFA.
“Mr. McGee, don’t make me angry…you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”
Hopefully, that’s Tomsula talkin’.
Old people remember that line.
Worse than nothing. Truly.
So McClain will obviously be here for 2018, he cost us an additional ~$2.3M of cap to cut. Somehow someway, gotta get some production out of him. His last 4 games: 1 tackle.
I think Noone thought he could possibly be a camp cut (post June 1) if he got beat out on the roster, but yeah…
I have been taking in a lot of the feedback about players who have moved on from teams like the Redskins and hearing people say, “We should have paid him” and “We could have kept him for the price of the dude we replaced him with” and other comments bemoaning a player who was on the rise that we just lost.
Well, Paul Richardson is one of those guys. He is to Seattle what I think Kendall Fuller was for us; a major contributor if not a star in the making. I like the Richardson deal and if the dude becomes a 60+ catch a year guy (could be in the 70’s even), he is instantly a fucking bargain.
I am pleased with that deal especially because Ryan Gruden was never going to get what he got in his deal from the Skins.
I can’t believe I am really liking what’s been done and what is still possibly/probably in store for this 2018 off-season.
though, losing both Fuller and Breeland has left a hole, and so to will losing Brown. I like Moreau and Holsey but they’re young and unproven. I think they sign a CB and WR in the next 36 hours and maybe that’s most of what we’ll see other than 90 man roster guys and vet backups. then in the draft they’ll be looking LB, DL, and RB early.
So what? We are still in FA and have the draft coming up. You are either with the FO moves or you aren’t. I am fine with Breeland going and fuck Fuller. Seriously. FUCK FULLER. We have our QB position sorted for at least the next 3 seasons because of that deal. People are acting like he is fucking Darrell Green. Cost of doing business, son. We will be fine and if we add someone like Sheldon Richardson to our D-line and a couple FA’s and drafted players, we will end up being a much better defensive unit.
All this spilled milk shit makes me laugh. Who the fuck on a losing team are you really that crestfallen about losing?
Seriously man. This is how the league works. We are not anywhere near done. Give it time dude.
Yes, I here tell that milk shit is very bad.
Fuller…and the 3rd rd pick you gave up. Nothing brainy about that move dude.
Agreed. ^ That decision took less time to make than it does for LeRib to choke down a bear-claw.
We have plenty of time to fill CB needs plus they really like Dunbar and Moreau.
kind of a rather angry reply to someone who’s not disagreeing with your premise,
they’ll pull in guys that fill enough holes so that they don’t have any embarrassing holes before the draft; maybe except RB
Dude, Fuck Fuller. I am laughing. He’s a 3rd round slot corner we just parlayed into a deal for a former #1 overall pick at QB who is more than likely an upgrade over a dude who just got a 3 year guaranteed deal for almost 90 mil.
Fuck Fuller.
I agree mostly with your overall premise what I have a little bit of heartburn with is our young Rising players that we draft I’d rather keep. we had to fill our QB position. What’s done is done. But I don’t think any of us should have full faith in our front office given the product that they have put on the field for decades, actually before Bruce Allen and during his tenure.
Yes hopefully he works out. My complaint is half your roster churned on a yearly. Fact is that is not how you build a winner. At some point you have to draft pay and keep…and then find the couple missing peices that put you over the top.
happy pi day.
In a way.
not for stephen hawking, i suppose.
I bet he’s just fine.

It could very well have been a lateral movement. He’s running through a field of wheat, on two strong legs.

Do you draw drab, boring house additions?
i’d like to think not, but what does that have to do with life after death? i mean, i don’t draw additions that violate the laws of physics and nature.
So you are for violating some laws and not others?

Good sport, cheers!
Perhaps you should try to draw, the way Dr. Hawking thought, it might be an adventure. You are after all, an artist?
Define “life after death”, there are many definitions, which one is right?
if george washington has “life after death” because we study him in history books, then, fine – there’s life after death. my mom lives on in that same way.
Your mother could be the one rearranging the papers on your drafting table, feeding the cat’s food to a young possum that’s a struggling single mother, you just don’t know.
we took one of my mom’s cats when she died. she loved her cats. anyway, one of my life-long friends, who knew my mom, says she’s watching me through that cat (who is sitting at the top of my table right now…).
There you go. There are 42 million different opinions on what is. What is, what what shows you.

I see another round of one year prove it deals on the horizon
22 or higher…?
16. Let it be booked
Way higher my guess…Already at a disadvantage cuz havent re signed but like 2 to date. Be tough to get 90 to open practice.
FA hasn’t even started.
The last few years the skins have sat out day one and bargain shopped later
I’d like to see that trend continue. The roster is still a couple seasons away from overpaying to win now.
Though, we’ll probably stay a couple seasons away for the next 30 years. Give or take.
Pretty much.
Lather/rinse/repeat until the Skins draft/develop/retain better. Hopefully, the ’17 draft class was the start of that.
Morn folks..Man hate we missed out on Mo. Maybe Richardson or Poe today.
Grant to Ravens a real surprise. Breeland for an avg of 8 mil a year to Panthers…just cheap imo.
Lets see if Galette Murphy and Brown continue the exodus of the continuous year in year out turnstiles roster that is ‘almost there’. Smh. I mean we do have the draft to fill these losses … Smh
Sit on that $$ Bruce. Dont overpay. You do so well finding cheaper ‘better’ guys. Where the Cowboy retreads at man ? Slacking…..
I would guess, without redoing current deals, they have about $12 million to play with in FA (contracts that impact the top 51) after signing Richardson
the good news is that the real problem with this team is probably the physical conditioning and early season prep
Revolving door reduces loyalty too. Just not a fan of constant turnover and inept picks and decisions… I mean will we have 22 1 year deals again next year? Thats how NOT to build a team.
the CBA has created this, the days of keeping anyone but a core group of guys more than 3-5 years is over
Yes not many Pitt and GB’s in the league.

Everything was perfect, the way the light sparkled in her eyes when you asked her the biggest question of your life, the breathless feeling you had in waiting for her answer. The rush of air you heard and felt, just as she said that wonderful word, “yes”…
That sound, as it turns out, wasn’t just inside your swimming head, but all around you, as it swooped in to pluck your love away. She meant everything to you, everything. Your whole world, your entire existence, everything, yet to it….just lunch. A healthy meal, carried away, torn from you with golden talons, that girl who took your golden band.

Yeah true that.
What’s left in the cap after signings today? $12 million?
We don;t know how much money will count against the cap on those signings.
We can create cap space with restructures if needed.
Missed out on WIlkerson, but Sheldon R, Suh, Loloteui and Poe are still out there along with the guy from Philly (Beau) who is not in the same category but still fits the bill. Would really like to add an impact Dlineman to this unit – nothing Haynesworth-like but with FA currently getting glutted with these guys there’s got to be a deal somewhere.
Not sad about Wilkerson I say get Sheldon even if you have to spend big.

And with greenhorns and Grandpas in the secondary, that front 7 better be right.
I remember losing out on Reggie White to a 4 year, $17 million offer from the Pack and thinking, ‘That’s crazy money’
I remember signing Reggie White’s name as an extra on our safety log at Brown & Root, brass #92, and watching our asshole foreman try to find him.
That miss wasn’t as much about $$ as it was about coaching. White said he wanted to play for Gibbs, and changed course when Gibbs retired.
Even in Baltimore, they’ll figure out the money Grant makes for every slip and fall.
I’m staggered that offer he was given. Him and his agent must have gone from feeling like ‘Hey, any offer from the Skins will be good’ to shitting their frign pants when $29 million $14.5 guaranteed came through on the fax machine.
You’re reeling, shocked and amazed, for all the world to see.

Compensatory picks? I’ve heard of those. Some kind of urban legend or something.
Been a curious off season for us.
Fixing the QB position was huge. Seeing a few players leave for what we would have never paid them doesn’t bother me one bit. Signing a Sheldon Richardson might make this the best off-seasons in years with the draft still to come.
Kinda where I’m at. I’d like to see a respectable addition to the front 7 before the draft. Not stoked at all about the reported Ziggy love in Ashburn. Addressing the Dline in FA allows for Oline and Dline in the draft.
Ziggy love?
I think he’s the best out of the Turd Trio…
So what does that make him? King Turd? Third Turd?
Fuck that zombie. All that strength….. he’s freakin’ Ferdinand.
Maybe folks have more confidence in what we have for depth than I do, idk. IMO, if we don’t get a legitimate DT in FA, we have to draft two. Signing a guy makes it easier to hit on a Guard of DB or whatever, in the draft.
I hadn’t seen the guaranteed $ before…Grant contract – $29 million over four years with $13 million guaranteed and a $10 million signing bonus.
Basically what we gave richardson
He will never live up to that deal, unless they consider him an All Pro practice guy.

Me too!
-R. Davis
Shhhhh, wait for it.
I love Mo Harris.

Good very good
Fear fades like fog before a rising sun.
Like when you hotbox your car rolling down the highway and then open both back windows at once.
Like when I used to, yeah
Better Poe than Mo
Won’t be Poe fo long.
I’d be “Raven” about signing him if the price is right.
He has the talent to be the “Tell Tale Heart” of our defensive line.
Cask of Amontillado!
I don’t know what’s going on
http://howtofeedaloon.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/poboy-feature.jpg
Gimme a POE BOY!!!!!!
That looks good
A whisper of fear drifts across the blog
That’s just WG’s aftershave.
Lol
It’s got little bits of real panther in it, so you know it’s good
Haha.
I’m actually pretty stoked with this off-season so far. This Richardson guy is going to be terrific.
I do wish we’d paid Breeland though.
Yeah, that was a tough one.
Like minded in that regard WG
Still early lotta talent still out there
Redskin hotties queef? Where is she btw? I used to crack up when Bean would tell her to make him a sandwich.
What are we afeared of?
To be clear, Grant only 10 mil guaranteed. Still more than he is worth
So it’s more like 2 yr./$10M and gone.
That’s a decent price for him. He’ll be back in DC in 2020 like James Thrash back in the day
I have to think CB is very much in play at 13.
Moreau will step up
Only positions off the table at 13 IMO is QB, TE and WR.
We are set on our franchise kicker.
Ryan Grant got WHAT???
Paid
Yes he did…
Good for him and good for the skins not having to cough up $29 mil to keep him
I was a Grant fan,,, but that’s some serious scratch he’s making
Yeah I developed an appreciation for his work ethic and the way he Forrest Gumped his way into the rotation over the years
He was money last season. In some games he was the only guy on the offense actually playing
Good for him. I don’t get the hate.
Packers get Mo Wilkerson
I do not necessarily think the Redskins “lost out” on Wilkerson. The fact that he left the Skins facility could well also mean that Manusky and Tomsula were like, “Nah man, nah.”
Let’s see how the Sheldon Richardson meeting goes.
Yeah I’m cool with him not being here.
I wanted him for us
Wilkerson to Packers.
Not surprised, really.
Oh shit.
– Kirk
Oh shit… we need to find a way to get to Cousins… he beat our ass last time we played him.
– Packers
one year , five million
Now I’m surprised.
http://www.duck-dogs.com/bubba%20teeth.JPG
You’re new defensive backfield . Cheap and will work for food.
Laughing
When the tailgate drops, the bullshit stops
I think the Skins could move Susan Cravens for a 3rd in this coming draft.
If that happens, I would still not take a QB with any pick.
That would be most excellent.
To who? Gotta have someone who wants a head case to do that deal.
Patriots, Raiders, Niners, Cowboys……even the Seahawks…….he’s young and was playing really well before his concussion and had not even moved back to his natural position of safety at the time.
Was hopin’ to trade him straight up for Bryant, personally. But a 3rd would be better.
Ryan Gruden to the Ravens 4yr – 29 mil
No idea who that is…
Ryan Grant
Ah soooo…
My boy! They took my boy!

How you gonna say the FO is a shit show when that front office drafted and produced the QB you would have a baby with?
Cracking me up.
How are you giving them shit when they did everything in reason to keep that spoiled whiny fuckstick in town?
Mannn……..smh
No… Shanny drafted Cousins in spite of the front office. Damn good thing he did too with how the front office’s QB pick that year worked out.
I DO find it funny how Cousins was the consensus #1 free agent on the market this year and SO many people are finding fault with him.
He’s no good when there is trash under his feet
Nor is any QB… if you can’t set up to deliver the ball, you’re gonna have problems.
lol, nice pull, I remember that comment from Cousins
Inside pressure is key. Main reason the Skins D got off to a nice start last year w/ Allen and Ion collapsing it.
Hope-18 kon, for now • 2 minutes ago
CANNED? His contract is fully guaranteed dude. He doesn’t have worry about a thing. He’ll throw the ball without reservation and to real honest to God play makers. Sorry k0n you can hate on Cousins all you want. He bet on himself and won.
———————————————————————————————————————-
All he has is money. No playoff wins. No SBs. Nothing but the money. Big whoopdee doo. The NFL has produced a shit-ton of rich QBs…who never won.
He’s got to earn respect. He’s got to prove he can win. He’s got to carry that team to the playoffs and beyond. If he doesn’t…the Vikings are out a shit-ton of money with nothing to show for and Cousins looking for another team to hose.
You’re taking this whole thing very personally, k0n!
Not only that, he changed the argument .
Nuh uh
He proved to the Vikings he was good when he beat them here. Zimmerman saw a QB with a whole bunch of nobody’s beat his vaunted defense. That was enough for him. Beat Denver’s vaunted defense too.
With an inferior team around him
Zimmer? Come on.
Their GM Spielman was the one looking for greener grass.
Report: Teddy Bridgewater To Jets For One Year
Damn, shit ain’t easy for him, eh?
And they retained McGown too I believe. Draft another, probably.

Yes.

What a frign putz. I’m no fan of Trump. But man am I glad she didn’t win.
She is a despicable person.

that is much too weak a word for her but I like where your thought process is going

Eric Weddle: Sam Bradford Has Been Paid More For Nothing Than Any Player
He’s perfected it
My idle
– Kirk
Idol too
The Heismann is an idol, no?
Sitting idly on the mantle, collecting dust.
At a home RG no longer lives in…..
he would be the perfect quarterback for our franchise
Who’s your franchise?
The Redskins franchise
Jordan Reed is on his way to being like him.
I think every receiver we have on the club who played with Kirk is going to be better and enjoy playing more with Alex Smith. This is based on nothing but what I believe based on what I have watched myself but I am very much looking forward.
Also, wasn’t Bradford the last ‘monster’ rookie deal?
Wasn’t Bradford the last #1 overall pick to get like 50 mil, right before they installed a rookie wage scale? Dude has made a ton of cash, no doubt.
I’m a Skins fan and I’m hoping this God awful clown show of a front office somehow figures out how to run a team sometime soon. I think they did the right thing in bringing in Alex Smith, but giving up Fuller and a 3rd round pick to do it was another bitter pill to swallow.
they’ve been pretty decent the last 5 or so years
Candidly, they really haven’t drafted/developed/retained very well. Constant rebuild. Two Pro bowlers 2013 – 2017 drafts.
Pro bowl is a popularity contest.
LOL. Generally speaking, it’s not a bad thing to have pro bowlers on the roster. Popularity contest or not.
relative to where they were under Vinny and Shanny…
Gotcha.
Your wasting your breath.
Because everyone knows the shit show this front office has put on for the last 5 years.
Need to build in ’18 and ’19 off last years draft class for sure, which looks to be good.
I thought minus the injuries last year we could have contended for the NFC East. Maybe with a good draft and good health we can this year.
Yeah, maybe so. Eagles were a juggernaut last year though, I think that was out of reach.
Yeah… that’s true… dominating on both sides of the ball.
Funny you say we could have contended for the NFC East last year and the FO’s is a shit show for the last 5 years. The FO’s was a shit show for 20 years it is starting to improve greatly over the last few years.
Funny that you can’t the forest for the trees… the front office has had problems with coaches, GM’s, and players for years. Try and keep up.
by what measure have they improved recently
Then the record should reflect that .
By what measure would you say they are pretty decent? I swear to God this fan base and the Decades of losing, has the level of success so low, that bar is barely off the ground.
No doubt….Turnstile city aint gonna cut it for sure. Giving up picks…you would think they learned way back.
Do or die for fauxGruden. Get it done or walk
Hell hath no wrath like a fanbase scorned. Personally, I hope kirk does well but not against us. It’s just the business of NFL football.
That’s were I’m at , and I would expect any reasonable grown man to be as well
Furry fury
Lol !
If you don’t play here don’t give a fuck how you do.
Fair enough, I get it. I’m more of sports fan and enjoy the games, the drama, the great plays, the great games. Just entertainment to me, and I find it to be great entertainment.
I like the game of football I love my team the Redskins but far too often they aren’t relevant late in the season. To say you don’t care if they don’t play on our team is stupid to me. I love watching lots of players across the league Philip Rivers Drew Brees Tom Brady Aaron Rodgers Julio Jones Gronkowski Kamara the running back I mean they’re just lots of reasons to watch the game
Washington Redskins will make the Super Bowl before Kirk Cousins does.
Good Luck Kirk. Make that $$ !!
Wow. No agree’s….? S M H
well, the Giants aren’t going to have such a poor year next year, the Eagles might be better, the Skins might be better and who knows about the Cowboys as they’ve got an OL, a RB, and mixed review QB held together by a decent coaching staff, so Skins could be better next year and still not breach 7-9 wins; and do the Vikings make it past A Rodgers?
If not next year Skins will be primed w another solid draft…a soul crusher RB and a Kam Chancellor like closer on D…and another solid ’19 draft…Alex may be that 30 something SB QB who wants to close out on the tip top…w an enriched NFL trophy franchise .
KoolAid is sweeet today brother !!!
Think Cousins said and did all the right things from the day he was drafted and he is getting his just rewards. He went from a team that is about as dysfunctional as it gets to one that should be a true SB contender. Good for him. Now Alex Smith will be our guy and I like him a lot.
The Vikes have a brutal schedule next year and Cousins is not the guy to lead them to the SB. He was also a major reason why we had so much drama, thats mostly on him not the team. Ask him how his camera crew is doing talk about a diva.
Says you and you’re literally the dumbest person on the planet.
$128M, all guaranteed, for 5 seasons of work 2016 – 2020 inclusive. Good for him.
Yep… played THAT game better than any player in the history of the league.
Yup.
I agree.
With the last sentence.
Who gives a fuck the guy is gone and wanted to be gone have fun dealing with the pressure that comes with that contract and the fact that if the Vikes don;t make it back to the NFC championship the signing is a bust.
There’s NO pressure on Cousins now. All guaranteed money for 3 years no matter what he does. He’ll turn it loose without a care now. He’ll hand the ball off and watch his RB actually GAIN yardage on first down. He has some receivers now who are true threats to a defense and difference makers. Yeah… he’s got it so bad. You’re an idiot flounder.
Of course there’s pressure.
He has to prove himself. That pressure increases, the moment he slips into a rut.
And yes he will, slip into a rut.
Uh no he doesn’t have to prove himself. He got paid. That’s what happens AFTER you prove yourself.
Nuh uh. He has to prove he was worth it. Or he gets canned. That’s what happens when after you don’t deliver.
CANNED? His contract is fully guaranteed dude. He doesn’t have worry about a thing. He’ll throw the ball without reservation and to real honest to God play makers. Sorry k0n you can hate on Cousins all you want. He bet on himself and won.
I would argue that he has bet on himself twice , and won . That is tremendous pressure.
^ Yup. No doubt about it, won to the tune of $84M all guaranteed.
Won by default.
No better option.
I fuck up a lot of grammar as well, flounder, but have found that when falling for my urge to use a run-on sentence, commas make it a more pleasurable experience, for the readers.
Can’t wait to see you over on the Vikings forum citing his awesome statistics after he throws a sould-crushing INT.
J/K. I pretty much agree.
Against Green Bay, in Minnesota?
With the division title on the line!
Woowee
Sack/fumble….
Jets getting Trumaine Johnson CB 15 mil per year
Price sounds about right.
Price sounds out of frign control
Nah, he a top shelf corner. Goin’ rate.
So if our WRs do way better this year with only adding PR and maybe a draft pick, can we then rule the Kirk is a pussy theory, a law?
Love your timing
I was born that way, I except it.
As long as you don’t accept it.
– Flounder
Lol, I’ll leave it as it lays
If the results agree with the theory…it’s a law.
So I have a second, then?
Aye
Thuwwop! – let it be written (side eyeing the recording secretary)
Anybody wanna know what I think?
Tiger something something?
Yes
I think any Seattle receiver will benefit from Jay Gruden’s scheme, when paired with a quarterback that has scrambling ability, it should add to their productivity.
Glass half full perspective. I would’ve thought the same for PR as much as those horrible QBs were running for their lives.
PR played opposite of Doug Baldwin too, who got the vast majority of WR targets.
That team was always doing the crazy chunk-play gambling shit.
“Charles Manson’s corpse awarded to Florida man”
That’s one weird Lottery they got goin down there.
You are familiar with this man.
Biggest sledgehammer wins.
Had to be next of kin, doesn’t it?
That Rick Snider cut up doesn’t give me the warm n fuzzies over PR signing. Let’s hope he improves and grows in 2018
Yup, that’s the real trick: projecting growth in your system. Otherwise, you’re shelling out big bucks for top end, proven commodities. Unless you draft/develop/retain really well, which we don’t.
Washington Turnstiles
Drives me crazy.
Murphy gone yet? Last I heard there were 10 teams after him.
I don’t believe that one bit. I could see a couple of teams kicking tires, but 10? Agent talk.
Exactly!
I counted SF, GB, IND, NE, NO and the Skins.
CB: Norman, Moreau, Dunbar, Holsey; Breeland (outside starter) and Fuller (slot) gone
S: Swearinger, Nicholson, Everett; Hall gone
Not a bad core but need some others.
Don’t be surprised if we draft Vea and he plays CB on passing downs and moves inside to NT on running downs.
I find that highly unlikely – Buck
Mo…..James Guice Mayfield. Get er done Bruce !!!!!!!
Mayfield?
Hell yea !
Have to trade up to get him.
Fuck it! – QGC
Ok and get the others too !!
LOL! Who’s the GM, Obiwan? ‘He’s not the DT you’re looking for. Move along.’
LOL
Aint nothing changed for me since last Sept….
Slim and none but….
Well, that in itself is a good thing. Lotta the other type of shit flying around.
Lol
Don’t be surprised if we draft Hokies
I won’t be surprised about abything
I’d be pretty surprised if they draft a Husker
…this year anyway…
…
…
before they go supernova on the universe…
I’d be stunned if we take a QB before the 4th.
I would be stunned if before the 6th
Sure hope Mo and DRC sign….man Derwin James and Darreus Guice would be home run draft picks!!! Thank God we haven’t signed an RB !!!!
I don’t want DRC, he should go to the Bears or Packers so he can pick off SchMirk.
Yea…well I could pass on him too really. If we pass James looks that much better
IMO, we have two vets in the secondary to lead, don’t need him there, never should have interviewed.
Fuller and Breeland not easily replaced….watch
DRC isn’t a replacement for either of the two……watch
Would help tho…
doubt they pick a S
they need a CB
Always need top end talent. James would be great.
Don’t be surprised if your beloved Vea and Payne play for other teams next year.
nothing will surprise me
Don’t be surprised if we don’t draft a WR in the first 6 rounds.
nothing would surprise me
Haven’t heard much on Ryan Gruden

Former Cardinals’ WR John Brown intends to sign with the Baltimore Ravens, per source.
Where good WR’s go to die.
never to be heard from again
The Redskins still have 7 draft picks.
Really, really need to build on last years good looking draft.
So…CB becomes a need.
it was going to be a need, it just went from maybe replacing Bree and Norman to replacing Bree and Fuller
DRC is a veteran CB that can still get it done. Normally I would scoff at a CB over 30, BUT we’ve got youth behind him.
DRC ticks all the boxes of a desperate “Redskins” special:
*old – check
*best years played for another team – check
*living mostly off of reputation – check
Put him on the pile with Jason Taylor and Hatcher.
Normally, I’d agree but we’ve got Holsey as well. Just drafted him.
His 2016 season was by far better than any CB we had.
please , you don’t really believe that .
I do.
If he signs , we will revisit that in week 8
At which time you will be cussing and raising hell about the DB play . Whoever is opposite of Norman will get picked on constantly .
I’d be okay signing him to a cheap one-year deal. No more than $5 million.
I’d like to see the details of the Paul Richardson contract.
I published my rough guess earlier. If it’s $40M total/$20M gtd over 5, I’d bet that it’s $10M signing bonus and 2 years guaranteed, which would make the first year cap hit in the range of $7-8M. But that could be totally wrong, of course.
It’s nothing compared the the other WR’s contracts.
The Skins must draft/develop/retain much better. It’s the ’13, ’14, ’15, ’16 draft classes that should be the core of your team in ’18; the ~24 – ~28 year olds. What’s left:
’13: Reed, Thompson
’14: Moses (maybe Murphy, Grant)
’15: Scherff, Smith, Crowder, Spaight
’16: Doctson, Ioannidis, (*Cravens)
Two pro bowlers in Reed and Scherff. ’17 looks to be a good class, really need to hit in ’18 too.
I like that we are talking to Wilkerson. I don’t know what we are talking to DRC about…maybe helping to mow the grass?
The team does need another slot corner. DRC just isn’t the guy I’d pick.
He’s going to be starting a day care center at Redskins Park.
See below – DRC isn’t the guy with the herd of children. That’s Antonio.
Still a lot of kids for a 33-year-old.
https://twitter.com/FootballUGA/status/973631340250877954
can he play LB?
https://twitter.com/john_keim/status/973686969837420544
Browns signed Hubbard, the Steelers’ swing tackle, for 5 yrs. and $37.5 million. So yeah, a 2nd round tender wasn’t too high for Ty.
This entire procsss is about value. Rarely you’re able to pay 2nd-3rd WR money for a blossoming 1st WR. If PR can continue his trajectory this will be a good signing….
I agree with you, generally. My issue is that I’m not sure he really has a “trajectory” worth $40M if his best season was 44 catches.
Well hard to say that before a ball is thrown/caught. But understand your concern. My only other concern is our ability to develop. Grant has maxed out. Harris sort of regressed. Davis is unknown. TP just couldn’t catch.
DRC possible signing? Hide the ladies. Baby number 13 already en route…
I messed that up this morning. It’s his brother Antonio who is starting his own nation. Yes, baby # 13 is on the way too.
Dude, get the snip already.
Roger that. And i think he did get snipped. Didn’t work.
His boys will not be denied.
Yeah, Antonio got snipped and still had another kid.
14 children with 8 different women. This guy’s child support bills are otherworldly. And DRC is a cousin, not a brother.
Wiki had him as a half-brother cousin. But, whatever.
Okay. Either way, I’m sure that family tree is hella complicated if Antonio’s family is any indication.

Don’t let him leave the building.
ALIVE!!
-btg
Thought he was headed to Oakland next?
I read that he likes to stay close to home. Which is north Jersey.
I guess he shouldn’t have been such a dick in NY then.
Paul Richardson is a younger faster Piere Garcon. Great snag by the Skins!!!
Lighter, less-talented, not as tough, etc……
And Garcon has taken it to the house from over 50 yards many times.
Richardson never has. He’s a slightly faster Randel El.
They said the same about Garcon, just watch, he’ll be good!
Can’t wait 4/ever for a reply I’ll just have to catch you later.
He is not being brought in to do what garcon did he is being brought in to do what D-Jax did.
I think he’s being brought in to do some of both.
Thanks guys gotta go talk to you about this on thursday.
Muuuuch easier said than done. But with a new QB maybe the past shouldn’t matter as much.
Not really
where’s noone….who’s next dude
DRC is next
dangit
carlos hyde then
I didn’t want him.
Grrrr
Cool. Draft is loaded with backs as good or better.
I wonder if Belichick wished him well.
It’s a huge deal.
5 year 61 mil.
The Butler did it.
Good for him.
He won Belicheat and Brady a Super Bowl when it was a lock for them to lose. They should be kissing his ass on his way out of town.
5 year/ $61 mm; $30 gtd
27 years old.
He’s 33.
Mentor for Saquon.
Wow a guard just got 5 year 66.5M with 30M guaranteed.
You don’t say.
Scherff
Fabian Moreau has a chance to step up this year
Breeland was not very good hasn’t been in a few years that’s why he is gone.
Keep telling yourself that. He was bad in 2016, but by every account had a very good 2017.
By who’s account is that?
He had 1 int’s in 2017 and got beat a few times very bad.
PRetty much everyone that reviewed his overall performance in 2017. PFF, Bullock, each of the local beat writers. I presume they’re all hacks….
And Brees is still going to Minny.
He had 1 int’s and 50 tackles that’s not good let alone very good.
Jordy Nelson getting released by GB.
Old news…..
He’s 33 years old.
Meh. Placeholder signing.
https://twitter.com/Snide_Remarks/status/973668338592354304
He makes grabs but rarely in stride and despite his advertised speed, never seemed to take anything to the house after breaking away from defenders. Falls down a lot after catches.
He’s a faster Randel El.
gotta have the ball in the right spot to catch it “in stride”. surprising to me that someone with that speed would have so few YAC.
From what I’ve watched so far, that’s accurate. Seen him get caught from behind several times and he doesn’t break away much. He seems to lack football speed.
He does have really good body control when assisting to the ball and seems to have good hands.
Granted I’ve only watched highlights.
Tim Tebow is a free agent again.
He was just released by the Mets
Was he outright released from the organization or just sent to minor league camp?
They just cut him from the major league roster. He’ll be on the Mets’ AA club this year, probably. Nobody thought he’d make the MLB roster this year (or at all, ever).
Breeland was above meh, he’s near good. Adios yappy one.
Well said.
I trust the FO knows and has a plan
Day drinking?
They found Moreau, they drafted Bree…I’m confident
Fabian Moreau played 59 defensive snaps (5.4%) last year
he played 73.3% of all ST snaps last year
The Redskins will really miss Kendall Jenner.
– Tiki
Keeping Breeland at that price would have put a hurting on the available cap.
Money the team needs to throw at positions where we’re not as ready to go next man up as the secondary.
Just hope it works out, I like Dunbar a lot, but he’s hardly proven to be ready to hold down a starting job. And Moreau is totally a question mark.
Dunbar held his own last year when they started him over Bree in that one game
one reason I think they felt OK letting Bree walk
So Breeland gets about the money I said he would, yet we could have afforded that if we wanted to…
Yeah. Completely don’t get why we let him walk….
Coaches didn’t like his attitude, that’s known. But personally I think you try and get passed that for a very good CB like Breeland.
He is not “very good”.
Had the league’s single game high last year in being hurdled by the ball carrier
I’ve seen enough of that movie. Headcase.
i think we’ll mildly regret that. he was above average.
All’s I can say is that they must really think the sun shine’s out Moreau’s ass.
what was his PFF ranking?
I don’t think he played enough to have a meaningful ranking.
breelands
They had Breeland at No. 54 out of 121.
Norman was No. 53.
I think as mentioned below it was his attitude not his play that soured the staff on him
he got much better this year, but he also may have felt “dissed” (like Kirk) and just wanted out
Moncrief to Jags
Stinks.
Gabriel to Bears
I think the Bears are going to be one of the worst teams in 2018.
that moment when you see the local news in the breakroom and realize the multiple stabbing is at a Chinese restaurant you went to last job
cook went crazy after owner took his cell phone and told him to get back to work
Cook shouldn’t have been charged.
Doesn’t sound like a Happy Family.
If it was at a Chinese restaurant, were they kung fu fighting?
Maybe. Tso what?
it was a little bit frightening.
he wasn’t fast as lightening because the other employees disarmed him and held him for the police
touche!
See, those #’s for Breeland, I’d have tried to keep him here at that price tag, totally reasonable for a good number 2 CB.
Yes
Yeah. I fee the same way. Especially after losing Fuller, too.
Now that Sherman is signed with the Niners, many around the league are saying that his incentive-laden deal was a win for the Niners who essentially took advantage of Sherman who acted as his own agent.
As well they should…
what’s this clause about picking up Kyle’s dry cleaning?
🙂
Did he even talk to anyone else? He just put all his eggs in going back home didn’t he?
The bigger problem was that Sherman thought he was as good as a professional agent, but he isn’t.
Coming off an Achilles, he bet on himself and saved a little coin in agent fees. If he balls out, he gets paid fairly well but no matter what, after 2018 he is being paid way below what his market value could be.
Nice Job Lynch!
A good agent would have tried to play 2 teams against each other a bit.
https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/973661087316041729
Good for him
That’s actually pretty reasonable. @$8mm per
Almost exactly was Spotrac predicted, I think.
Think Redskins still go defense @ #13
not sure now if we get Smith, Jackson/Ward, Edmunds or Vea
probably throw James/Fitzpatrick in the mix too
The can be only one
Seahawks have $28M in cap space but they are losing guys left and right
McCown back to the Jets on 1-year deal, per his agent.
Malcom Butler is still available , no ?
Sure. I think he got royally screwed Belichick style. It’s not that he can’t play, he can.
So Jimmy Graham signed with GB
Doug Martin was released
Raiders

don’t you feel like a guy is so much more desirable after the pats* make a play for him?
I’ve come to the realization they coach and scheme better than everybody else .
as hank stram said about lombardi: “he can take his’n and beat your’n. then he can take your’n and beat his’n.”
Not really, but if the Pats are getting rid of him … buyer beware.
“buyer beware” is the obverse side of what i just said.
We have a lot of word to do on D. 2 important corners gone, probably going to lose two good OLB’s, a good LB….
I’m not crying over any one of them either.
yes… jeez. fuller and breeland took a lot of snaps last season. can’t just wave your hand and replace that.
Yes, I can………these are not the corners you’re looking for……(hand wave)
– Jedi
Those were not the corners you seek
Whats the situation with Wilkerson ? Been driving Ms Daisy most of the day.
He’s busy failing Shanny’s fitness test
Good one
We should hear that he is being signed shortly. He is running late to the meeting.
If he signs they could get Fatzpatrick or James instead of a DL
or a ILBer, or trade back or who knows what
Go get Crowell
NOW!
Never really came back to form after ripping the knee.
Stand back. Greg’s been ankle pants for Jordy since the Skins didn’t draft him.
Wow , that’s a big wow .
Pats gonna be all over that .
Booking it
Seattle gonna have a whole new team
Have they actually signed anybody? Seems like they’ve let a lot of people go…
Complete rebuild.
Through the draft? Have they signed anyone?
Not sure what they’re doing. Think they are dismantling, and then will go bargain shopping.
Guess we’re counting on the Isle of Dr. Moreau
Wish we had played him a bit more last season
He’s gonna play plenty this season
We better hope none of our CBs get injured. We are lacking depth there now
Faith in coach Gray
Later dirty south, it’s been fun….crazy bastard. Thank you for always hitting hard, for 2014, particularly the win in Dallas. Good luck and goodbye.
He will get more goodbyes on social media than Kirk.

@alex35332:disqus
we’re probably distant relatives then because the Earls of Orkney were Clan Stewart which is my family clan too
Knew you were both clansmen.
yes for a thousand years
Also, if you go back to some of the early Earls of Orkney, they were involved in the civil wars of Macbeth vs Scottland.
We helped the English defeat the English.
No kidding, my family is from the Bruce line. So yes, a lot of intermarrying between the two clans for a few centuries.
By my research the last Bruce – Stewart marriage was
John Bruce (1420 – 1473) married to Jean (Stewart) Stuart
So there you go, practically cousins.
But the last Bruce-Bruce marriage was this morning in San Fran
Sadly there’s a lot of that in the family tree too back in the 1200’s it seemed.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that
I mean, the deal was almost always that you had to marry a nearby family of the same class. Most mens options were literally 1 or 2 women of the right age.
In the San Fran instance Bruce was the participants forst names
I’m from the Gray-Stewart line of things
John de Gray to Sir Andrew Gray and all
I worked with a Bruce a while back, he was a distant cousin too
Well my family is the Bruce line, then in the 1600’s becomes the Brudenell-Bruce line. They owned one of the original 5 copies of the magna carta, the one that’s now in the national history museum here in DC. It turns out that some family member wasn’t very good with money and had to sell it so he could afford to keep his castle.

He’s Aaron’s new best buddy. DAMMIT!
– Clay
I never think Rodgers having had a good TE in all his year there.
Best one is the one who the Skins KO’d a few years back, Jermichael Finley. Dude was a terror until he blew his knees out.
Whelp… Breeland to the Panthers
Yeah they didn’t want him he is very up and down
We may need to go cornerback early.
We definitely need to go CB at some point
Mid to late….there’s 616 corners in the draft
They are all 33
Pretty sure Vea can play corner.
He might have to
Would have liked to see him stay… but I’m not broken up about it.
I’m not broken up either.
– Pass to a WR covered by Bree
it’s the kind of thing where you’d like to be loyal to and coach up your own draft picks. he wasn’t the best, but he was serviceable. not afraid to tackle, either.
That was the best part about him… would come up and whack the RB
When you Eagles friends try to talk Super Bowl smack with you
some quick facts to throw back
Redskins – 7 years to play in 1st SB, 17 years to win 1st SB
Eagles – 15 years to play in 1st SB, 51 years to win 1st SB
took them twice as long to just play in one and three times as long to win 1
we also played in 4 in 10 years and won 3, so how many SB wins will they have by 2027?
Eagles played in a Superbowl in the 80s Tampa, but won a championship like 2 years before the end of the 1st NFL era
They lost to the Raiders in 80 I believe.
Yeah.
When did they win before that 1960 team right?
They won a world championship before the Super Bowl era but it was forever ago. They have been to 3 SB’s and of course finally won for the 2017 season.
’81, ’05, ’18
NO in ’81 lost to Raiders
I just tell them, “Welcome to the fucking club. Now, go to 2 more and win both and then you won’t be the bitch of your own division anymore.”
So, to take a break from all the draft stuff I just started a deep dive going back in my families ancestors.
Here’s a guy who I bet would have been fun to hang around:
Thorfinn Skull-Splitter, Earl of Orkney (est B. 890- D. 977)
I can only imagine what he did in his free time with a name like Skull-Splitter.
Would be my Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather
Good beer
Yep, and apparently named after my for-father
Bradford gets 1 year 20 mil deal with cardinals.
Both of his knees just collapsed when he stood to shake the GM’s hand after signing his deal.
Breeland hasn’t been the same since we signed Norman.
Crapped the bed in 2016. Was very good last year.
He rebounded last year.
Nonsense. He was fine this year.
He was better than Norman last year
thirteenth on the FA ranking list
Another coincidence
A close associate of an outspoken critic of Russian leader Vladimir Putin has been found dead in his London home.
Nikolai Glushkov, 69, once worked for a company owned by Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky. Berezovsky built a business empire valued in the billions before running afoul of the Kremlin and publicly denouncing Putin.
Glushkov’s cause of death was not immediately known.
Cause of death is assassination by order of former KGB operative.
Putin just shoving May’s face in it now.
Russia’s population is aware and informed enough that it’s mighty frign suspicious that Put in should win an election.
But don’t tell him I said that. I don’t you know or what you’re talking about. You have the wrong number. Don’t call here anymore
think draft is shaping up (pending more trades)
1. Barkley
2. Nelson
3. Chubb
4. Clev QB pick of ?
NO QB’s in the top 3… interesting
Buffalo could get into the top 4.
I think BUF tries to trade with NYG or IND to get ahead of CLEV
but that may be a draft day trade
Teddy B going to the Jets.

Yeah
Let’s see if he passes their physical.

told ya…
Yeah said that this morning.
We’ll trade you Ryan Grant for your 2 second rounders. Boom…make it happen Brucey!!!
they might never have these draft assets again..I’d restock the shelves instead of trying to RG the draft
Indeed
Mike Evans just got paid 5 year 82.5mil 55mil guaranteed
Worth it, too.
Yeah dude is nasty.
almost on cue, every snowblower in the neighborhood starts to clean up….
Still some good CB’s out there need to jump on one.
DRC! We gonna get our guy!
He would be a 2nd tier guy
…and a short term guy
Yeah
Nah. He’s our day 1, primary target.
Say it with me…Ryan Jensen….
Damn. He’s as slim as they come.
World class speed, though.
TIme him with a sun dial – kon
Wait, he’s slow AND skinny?
He’s the slim shady the real slim shady
D-Jax was 5-10 and a 160 soaking wet.

“It may be short, but its thin.”
No restructures are fine as long as they are done right and who knows maybe they already have restructured contracts.
So if you’re going to assassinate someone don’t use a nerve agent that you are the only country in the world that has it, makes it kind of obvious
Fake News we were set-up — Putin
Zack Brown is listed as the 62nd ranked FA.
restructure TW and RK and go stack the cupboards
No thanks that dead money will be a killer when neither can play anymore that was Vinny’s strategy.
Richardson, Suh, Wilkerson
be a nice DL rotation.
Out of the top 50 FA’s thee is still a lot of CB’s available.
Any chance we can get this guy
Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson.
Doubt we can afford him.
Bucs cut Doug Martin
Yes. DRC gonna be signed today if in physical (unless he fails).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vOz_3tKPJg
This kid is a beast
No doubt.
Any scoop on ZBrown, TMurph, and Jovias?
i like the receiver get. still want OL and DL help, so we can draft for BPA. oh, and don’t let zach brown get away. is he expecting stupid money or reasonable money?
He wants stupid money but he isn’t going to get it.
like cousins?
Cousins is a QB and there is always someone willing to pay them stupid money and when in 3 years the Vikes still haven’t won the SB they will realize it was a mistake.
Brown didn’t get big money last year when he was better and not injured.
I bet JVille makes him rich…they just lost posluzny
he’ll take stupid money if there’s a market

Nah… he can’t be that fast. 4.4 is slow…

just send the boy out to shovel….surprising to no one, he did a poor job of it…
shoveling snow in high wind is usually a poor job
and in high wind, it doesn’t matter that much how much you get, on the interstates the traffic pounds it into thick ice. I drove from North Platte to Kearney once in a blizzard and those weren’t pot holes, it was just the holes big rigs and put in the ice.
#noshit
shoveling snow in high wind is like digging a hole and filling it in. but I guess if you’re getting paid for it…
It costs me diesel money when I shovel snow these days.
drove from North Platte to Kearney

I have no idea where either of those two places are….

actually met a stripper in Kearney that was from Dallas, yummy.
Did you get her to hit the high notes in HTTR?

boing!.. that sounds AWESOME, greg. it’s all fun and games until you lose power. i presume you have power? do most people have generators up there? (quiet ones, hopefully)
Reports earlier were that we were making a heavy push to sign some of our own today. Haven’t heard anything further in that regard.
Maybe he gets a chance.
like I said this morning
so AZ kind of had to settle between Bradford (glass) or Glennon (No talent)
The warm weather will be good for his knee

That’s a lotta cabbage for Mr. Glass.
He’s made his way just like that. Mr. Cash and Go
Doctson, Richardson, Crowder, Davis, Harris
good group of WR’s
Redskins very high on Davis
Lot of height in that group too
Davis is a HBCU kid, aka Doug Williams special.
Jay pick
Agreed. Pointed it out the other day that it’s a good group.
Young too. Mostly 25. Davis is a think, what…22?
HES 33!
but a young 33
Nail it shut!
The door! It’s broken, you gotta nail it!
two nails!
Gotta use two! One’s not enough!!!
I remember. I also remember being the only guy that agreed with you.
no he wasn’t the only guy
Excuse me, you and I have been Robert Davis fans since before the draft. Prepare for the onslaught of horseshit.
bring it on
It’ll get deep, you can’t help but to laugh.
Welcome to the winning team. You can pick your own number! As long as it’s not 71.
pffffft. You got me fucked up with some key masher, bro
Davis I like last year but Harris got more playing time. I like both young guys
CU sucks. Welcome to the Skins. Have a nice day.
our top 4 pass catchers last year were
Crowder, Grant, Davis, Thompson
Richardson and his 44 catches would have been 3rd best on that list
Yeah well he wasn’t catching passes in Jays offense from Alex Smith so I bet he has a much better year this year.
So what about YAC!
Now, use that 2nd round pick to pick up Enunwa, and we’re done at WR!
He could prob also play ILB in a pinch, FWIW.
I would prefer a RB.
I don’t think the Jets have tendered Enunwa at all yet, so he might go UFA tomorrow
(I was joking about burning a 2nd round pick to get him)
are you being purposely obtuse in regard to that?
Equanemous St Brown who we should target…
RZ weapon
Yes…and everywhere else too
it was a joke. Enunwa is a RFA, but the Jets haven’t put a tender on him best I can scope via google. so he might go UFA tomorrow. (and he’s built like a linebacker)
I like him, but, we do already have Robert Davis.
Richardson averaged 16 yards a catch and had 6 TD’s did we have anyone come close to that?
Ryan Grant 12.7 and 4
That’s not close.
Docston 14.3 and 6
Great and as they play different positions that makes it even better.
The last time Jackson caught 6 TD’s in a year was 2014
Get’um flounder, don’t take no shit!
Yes
Really who?
Go look it up
I’m not putting up any more stats for you
No thanks I know we didn;t have anyone with his speed catch 6 TD’s that plays the same position he does.
Go look it up
We got a speed receiver who can stretch the field for 7mil a year and people are whining it’s laughable.
Laugh at them, flounder, laugh at will.
Who’s Will?
It’s not capitalized…….at will, at your leisure.
Compton?
Who is whining ? Relaxes the WR 1st /2nd pick in the draft crap…now sign Mo and Brown so we can use the draft wisely
Not masturbating into a skins jersey= whining
We got a fast receiver who can stretch the field for 7mil a year and people are not able to handle an analytical approach.
Hey! We signed somebody! Alright! fap-fap-fap-fap-fap
Extreme oversimplification, woosh! out the window.
Puhhhleez
WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH……………………………………………splat.
Pass the ball yo. You keep missing the easy lay up.
I’m all set, yo
Ready set?
You got nothin’, and you’re banned from Jay bashing till Halloween….. you’ll never make it.
Banned?
What the hell. That’s bulldookey.
dems da breaks
Seattles offense is not good for WR’s to get big yards or TD’s.
That isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Doctson will be better suited as the z. Hopefully Richardson is a good route runner
Redskins have no plans to move Doctson from X
Richardson will play Z
Yes.
Liar! – Noone
Doug Baldwin was their Z duh!!!
what’s a Z?
if you have to ask, you can’t afford it
Ounce’ya gonna tell’um?
I think I threw away my XOR NFL Challenge playbooks, so I don’t remember what a Z is
Seattles offense is not built for WR’s to get big numbers.
In reality it’s a 3 year 20mil deal.
probably
So did the Brown and Tan M&Ms get retired?
This bag I bought only has blue, green, red, yellow, orange ones
been a while since I had M&Ms
You bought Skittles
LOL
Tangier than I remember…..or however you spell that…..
Tan replaced by Blue
Brown gone after conflicts between BLM and Alt-Right on the issue.
and the dye contained arsenic, cordizone, 10000 calories per sq in of butter, and just a pinch of castor bean filings.
https://twitter.com/BarstoolNate/status/973623309790302208
It’s a big contract to be based on a mere projection of performance without being backed by prior performance.
It’s not a big contract when Watkins got 16mil a year for 3 years.
Which is what you do if you’re really good….
It kinda reminds me of the risky move we made to get Garcon years ago. This one’s a bit higher risk obviously.
How is that? Garcon’s contract was 5 years 42mil
It’s riskier than Garcon – he was at proven as a favorite of Manning in Indy.
Garcon was “is he a product of system and Manning”
Richardson is “was he underutilized or misused in Seattle”
I’m not talking contract, I’m talking the type of player, timing in his career. When you get someone just before you expect them to have a break out couple of seasons.
more like A Roberts?
Anyone interested in Celek?
No
No
No
He is slow.
Mr. Mole Asses crushed him the 40.
Just not sure why Seattle let Richardson go if he is all that??…especially with their thin WR cupboard.
They are exploding it……I mean…
Ding.
I guess…smells like an Andre Roberts type deal…a fill in w drops ..??
Thanks for the fucked up memory, really, thanks
Lol. !
Not really.
Bennett wasn’t pursued for disrupting the team.
Sherman was let go on account of age, injury and dollars.
Lane got himself a DUI in January…and cap money
Shead spent last year on the PUP. But, they do hope to get him back.
You are truly lost without your nemesis, Kirk, aren’t you?
Hardly.
But look…the hawks ain’t blowing it up. Couple big names and some role players is all.
They’re blowing up the money
They’ve let EVERYONE go
Dong.
WOOT!
You’re a penis!
Pianist! Pianist! Damn it, get it right!
What’d I say?
Smells really Skin like…we will see I guess. 5 years sounds like overbite
You know what ding dong smells like!? *eye roll
It’s a good signing. They aren’t paying him like a #1 guy… It isn’t going to put us in the play offs… but it’s a good signing
Im not that familiar…hope you right
Their only option was to tag him, and no way they’d do that. Once a UFA, sign wherever you want.
He has a degenerative knee issue….sucks for Arizona.
Arizonisians know all about that.
All the QB needy teams are dropping like flies, not good for our draft board.
Stop-gaps mostly, I think the QB’s will go often and quick in the draft.
These are all placeholders. Wouldn’t prevent teams from getting their guys. Watch.
KC went and got Mahomes last year with AS on the roster.
Not sure about that. Bradford is not a long term solution, the Jets have nobody, Tyrod is not a long term solution, not sure Keenum is either, Giants still need a successor to Eli
I’ll never understand the fascination with Sam Bradford. He was overrated coming out of Oklahoma and keeps getting the benefit of the doubt.
I wonder if PR will wear #10 here? RG3 Jerseys can be made to say Richardson maybe…..I might get mine fixed. Been in the back of the the closet since 2013.
But the funk karma?
I wonder what kind of legal issues one would run into selling replacement names for jerseys?
I was just thinking that EXACT same thing
Please give me the recipe so I can fix mine.
I have the sew-on style, so just need replacement patch across the top.
Keep em coming bruce….
I actually Doug is doing some of this. Bruce been quiet. Doug been talking all over the place.

Grade for the Redskins signing WR Paul Richardson (not very good) – http://walterfootball.com/freeagentsigninggrades.php …
i mean makes sense, ink isn’t dry on the contract, a single pass hasn’t been caught yet…
perfect to grade it now
Usually like Walter FB but he doesnt like much of what we do.
You are
I think that’s a bit harsh. I think this is a good signing. I’m not going so far as to call it a great signing but it’s good… not like this bogus story
Sega Saturn man!
DAMN!
yeah
I loved me some Sega.
Road Rash….all day
Well, first of all, Smith did wonders with another little speedster in Tyrek Hill, so there’s that. And Walter is undervaluing Smith.
But I’m not wowed by this signing either, because, while Richardson has plenty of potential to be great, he doesn’t have the record of performance to suggest that he can actually do it. That’s why I didn’t put him on my WR list – it’s a risk.
Projecting is the name of the game. If he had that record of performance, he would have been a lot more expensive.
True. This guy PR has the speed to blow the top off a D, but will DC’s respect that and react to it? or leave him in single coverage? We’ll see. No question this O missed DJax, so this move will open up some possibilities.
Redskins sign WR Paul Richardson (5 years, $40 million): C- Grade
I don’t like this signing. It just seems like a poor fit. The best I can explain it is having a Sega Saturn and then buying an HDMI cable for it even though there’s no HDMI attachment for it.
Alex Smith, in this metaphor, is the Sega Saturn. He has some novelty, but he’s not particularly good. He’s an average quarterback who doesn’t look to attack defenses deep on most occasions. Richardson, meanwhile, is this new technology that doesn’t do much unless he’s paired with something great, and even then, he can just be replaced with another HDMI cable.
I don’t think Smith will be able to take advantage of Richardson’s big-play ability very often, and there’s no guarantee that Richardson will even flash his talents frequently in Washington, as he was very inconsistent in Seattle. Prior to 2017, he had never eclipsed 300 receiving yards in a season. He caught 44 balls for 703 yards and six touchdowns this past season, but that was with Russell Wilson, who happens to be a much better quarterback than Smith.
I don’t want to say that this signing will definitely fail, but I’m not very optimistic. This appears to be another Terrelle Pryor-type move where the Redskins signed a receiver with just one year of positive output. The only difference is that Pryor was given just a 1-year deal with little risk. This is a long-term contract with plenty of downside!

Tyreek Hill and Alex Smith’s 2017 stats say otherwise.

Fuck Walter, no offense Walter
X – Doctson, Z – Richardson, Y – Reed
If you are still old school lie that.
that’s how they still draw up them plays
For those wondering, my source for the 4.28 40 was a UPI article.
He always seemed fast in actual games, that’s good enough for me.
It said it was pre-Combine, which means Colorado hand-timed him, so 4.28 is probably an exaggeration, but still, he’s fast.
Looked fast with the Seachickens….
Yes, read the same. Unofficial time.
He’s slower than Orlando Brown at the combine – kon
lol
He’s slower than my grandmother… and she’s dead.
-Kon
Only 4 tenths faster than the fastest O-lineman.
I just can’t believe Jake Mahomes is going to be a winning QB. And if he does become one, I don’t see it happening in 2018.
His brother Patrick though….. totally different story.
By my guestimate, with a $0M deal and $20M guaranteed, I’d guess that the team has guaranteed 2 years one way of the other (meaning, a combination of roster bonuses and guaranteed base), and then given a $10M signing bonus. If that’s true and the base salaries have a more or less even distribution, we’re looking at a 1st year cap hit in the range of $7-8M.
I’m all about the 0 million dollar deals
W’e’ll probably get fined like $100mm for paying him less than vet minimum, though.
i’m guessing about $7M first year
‘Bout friggin time they got this article up.

I was busy burning DVD’s and re-batterying the microphones.

LOL
5 years 20 guaranteed…nice. good signing.
I like his experience with a scrambling QB
Yeah Wilson made a lot of plays to him when scrambling. Alex should do the same.
Yup
Yea beans. I said he was slow. Slow like molasses slow.
I’d roll my eyes but, they still hurt from something D_C said yesterday.
just admit you poo-poo’d his speed…
4.4….is not take the top off speed.
He can stretch the secondary. Hopefully. But he won’t be blowing by and running away with TDs.
Gotta be real and medium about this stuff man.
You did, Kon.
Own it like KC owns his flaws…. Shit, never mind, actually take responsibility for your actions!

I’d tap that….
That’s a self portrait….so…….
It’s got teeth though. And hooves.
And?
Meh, I’ve done worse.
Oh oh right. NYC.
what did pryor run? like 4.38 or something? i felt like last year we did not send him deep often enough. maybe jay knows better than i.
Pryor problem was his hands…he dropped so many and short armed others. Didn’t really get separation that a WR should. He’s still fairly green at WR.
he should be our 3rd qb. dude can throw that damn ball! Wildcat option qb to mix it up…
But, what the F happened in 2016 with those dogshit QB’s in Cleveland?
Luck…Volume….here he had guys who could actually play and catch.. In CLE…he was the only option AND he didn’t fuck up his ankle like he did here.
You just nailed it. He was hurt here and being on a 1 year deal had him playing like a pussy.
yup
as bad rep said. just volume. i went and checked his catch %. it was the same last year as the year before – right around 50%. he was just targeted a lot more with the browns.
Davis ran 4.44 at 6′-3″ 220lbs 41″ vert.
You guys wanna roll into the season with Doctson and Mo Harris?
What about me?

Should be an eventful next few days. I wonder if we re structure some deals and free up some dough?
If, and that is a substantial “if”, we have a stout o-line to start camp with (by way of FA and/or the draft), I look for Jay to deploy both Reed and VD with Crowder, Doctson and Richardson all flying around. Boy I hope we have an o-line this year. It’s everything.
I’m a big fan of the 02 personnel grouping.

He will still catch 12 balls against the skins next year
Any word on Grant?
Pedestrian
On the dark side of town……Oh no…..
He’s under here – Jay
