Jerome Mathis signed

....Anyone waiting on a big FA signing and being dissappointed with this.... you are an idiot.

Just so we're clear of who exactly you are deeming to be idiots: is it those who are waiting on a Big FA signing only, or is it anyone who is disappointed with this signing?

Then whose fault is it?


i said not entirely his fault.

Hes a depth WR, maybe used for PR since Rock doens't do those. He probably signed a veteran minimum deal so if he F's up, a better WR becomes available or just cant produce on the field, they can cut him and not worry about it (no signing/roster bonus = no cap penalty if cut). Since Hackett and Caldwell signed elsewhere, they needed to fill in some depth at WR. Simple as that. Anyone waiting on a big FA signing and being dissappointed with this.... you are an idiot.


I know you are new, but no need to call anyone an idiot.

Damn that was quick LOLhttp://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon10.gif What did he do?

Wow...Jerome drives a '97 Honda. Definitely a disappointment.

A lot of people used that argument against Sean Taylor and still to this day call him a "thug" because of that ATV situation where charges were DROPPED.

If he stays healthy, he's the best returner (outside of Hester) in the league.

Depth for WR, a great returner...I can't hate this move but I still wonder where it came from.

Maybe it's the whole idea that it was a woman. Sure, I really would like to know ALL the details about that incident and I definitely believe people need to be given a chance to reprove themselves, but as of now, the guy ranks about a 7-8 on the human excrement meter, below 10s like Pac-man.

If he gives us performance and a whole season without incident, then he drops to a 4-5 next year. It's one of those I could forgive, just not forget type of things.

It would be totally bittersweet for me if the guy who supposedly was choking his pregnant girlfriend is a key piece in our Super Bowl puzzle. What are we? Dallas?

It's funny how some people can quickly rationalize a player's off the field issues once he signs on to be a Redskin. If he had signed with a division rival I'm sure the majority of people here would be laughing and pointing at what a dumb move this was. I had hoped that the front office had learned their lesson after Lloyd. Not saying it's the same type of move, Mathis isn't going to cost us $10M in bonuses, but I just thought that after Gibbs 2.0 there would be more of a premium on character around Redskins Park. This move was disappointing to me.

Sad but true.

no, he would sign for Dallas if he was convicted, close though

HA. True.

He must not be good enough for them.
