Another Redskins mistake

When you complain about the Packers not making a big splash in free agency, keep this signing in mind because it's going to haunt the Redskins. They signed cornerback Josh Norman (28 years old) after one really good season to a $75 million contract with $36.5 million guaranteed.

That's $15 a year, which would put him higher than every cornerback in the NFL for 2016.

I want to give Scot McCloughan (former Packers scout) the benefit of the doubt, but I can't help think, Albert Haynesworth, much?

Edit, higher than every other cornerback other than Darrelle Revis.

Edit2, more details on the contract. I still say not a wise decision.

You don't have to spend $75-100 million to sign quality players.

Heck I would be happy if GB actually called and talked to some of the better player's agents once in a while. That would be a step in the right direction.

Yeah, because you don't hear it about from ESPN that means it never freaking happened.

We will all see how well the Redskins did in week 11 when the Packers travel to Washington, DC.

I have read and heard several FAs say GB never contacted him or his agent. Perhaps it is not true but why would they lie?

He had a great season, but I still say he is a product of the system. Without the pass rush of the Panthers will he be anywhere near as effective?

It's Dan Snyder's team.

You can safely assume it's a dumb move.

Theye weren't really bad last year, but this feels like a move you maybe make if you believe you're one piece away from winning it all. They're far from being that good a team. And even that this would be a questionable move.

All guys who would've cost next to nothing, but could've made a big impact for a year. And even if they wouldn't have, there's next to no risk, because you're not investing more than $1-3 million with little guarantees in these guys.

Of course, we did sign Jared Cook to a similair sort of deal, so we have been on the lookout for reinforcements this off-season, which was a pleasent surprise. I just feel that we could've done with spending another million or two on a guy who you know could really help us out (on defense).

dfosterf (4h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (4h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (4h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (4h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (5h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (5h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (5h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (6h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (8h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (8h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (9h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
