Redskins add ILB/special teams standout Adam Hayward

I could swear that you said that you wouldn't sign anyone over 27 (my number would be 28).

Whether I'm remembering correctly or not, I'm sticking to that philosophy. To get your best value in FA you get 'em young.

There must be a 26-year-old out there who could be made into a reserve LB and special teamer.

I did say that, but I'd let that slide for a special teamer/low contract guy.

you don't sign big money/long term deals with old players, 1mill is not big, and if he can fix our STs, then you make the move. no issue with this, though i don't really know him to be honest.

Given how bad our ST were last year I don't care if the guy is 80 as long as he can play.

Lorenzo Alexander is 30, who wouldn't take him back in an instant?

Get Arizona on the phone!

;)

With our need at ILB letting him go last year was a mistake. We could use the depth and st play badly.

Did you by any chance ever get any clarification on the cap from last year? I have heard the we were 1.3 under and 878k over. I am guessing we were legally over last year. If not we could have paid that 1.3 to Zo and spread that bonus over 3 years.


Seriously though good signing.

Very good signing. Anything to help out our piss poor not so special teams.

Fair enough. The money isn't big enough to get too worked up about, no matter what.

This guy is a clone of Lorenzo Alexander.

This. And at literally a third of the cost.

Alexander signed a 3 year/9.5mil contract with 3mil guaranteed.

That deal looks like crap at this point.

That deal looks like crap at this point.That LA contract looked player friendly on the day it was signed and even more today.

was thinking along those lines too.

Great signing! We were looking at Hayward and Chris Maragos, who is a solid special-teamer but would be a wasted safety spot. We have enough reserve safeties, we need a starter there.

Hayward being a backup ILB is more valuable than another safety who isn't good enough to see the field as a safety. Maragos signed with Philly.

player friendly, or loser tax?
