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 (11-May) : Fortunately it doesn't sound like a big deal

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Elgton Jenkins Involved In Strip Club Dispute ... Cops Called To Mitigate

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Derek Carr retires. Shoulder must be bad.

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Packers Pro Shop is not currently printing Golden #22 jerseys “until his number is confirmed after Training Camp.”

Martha Careful (9-May) : Favored Illinois Bishop?

beast (9-May) : Technically, the I in FIB stands for Italian now, Si?

dfosterf (8-May) : I never thought I'd live long enough to call a pope a FIB, but here we are

Martha Careful (8-May) : Chicago produces a pope before it produces a 4000 yard passing quarterback

wpr (8-May) : HAHAHA Mucky Comment of the day.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : According to reports, Mel Kiper is furious that Sanders wasn't selected as the new Pope

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Time taken to get picked:

Zero2Cool (8-May) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch · 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer

beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (7-May) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (7-May) : You saw me Tweet???

beast (7-May) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.
