Redskins sign Landon Collins 6 yr/84M

Very reasonable deal, people that were scoffing over the initial numbers are looking pretty silly now.

Never judge a deal on the initial numbers.

Its still a lot for a Safety with the cap hit...coming off recent coverage issues.

The question now is going forward...I don't want to fucking hear about not having the money for obvious issues on the team. And saying well lets wait for the draft to fill the need is ass backwards team building...that's how you seriously fuck up.

Left Guard, Safety, Edge pass rusher...We need starters at everyone of these positions. We have no Oline depth...none sans the Tackle from Louisville.

Look at the money allocated at TE...makes zero sense. WR is a complete mess.

We need a lot of help...so the Collins deal is great...but we need to continue to spend money. Smart money

Not only that but he is young and he is a leader on defense. And just stop with he cant cover. He protects the top of the field, contains it, and allows the front 7 to get after it. It was a solid move.

Nice breakdown:

Look at the money allocated at TE...makes zero sense.

You think $16 mil in 2019 for Jordan "Made of glass" Reed and Vernon "Hands of stone" Davis is too much money?

At the minimum you cut Vernon Davis and move Sprinkle up to 2nd TE. But Id look for a trade for Reed...see if you could get a late 3rd, or early 4th round pick.

Rams and Pats got some comp picks in the 3rd round...try to get one of those...Reed isn't the future here.

We spend more on Tight Ends than any other team.

So basically the Redskins are back loading this contract?
Yes.

Yes.

Important to remember at this point, a new cba will come into play for the 21-24 portion. While no one knows what will happen, it's inconcievable to me that the player pool of money would decrease in any meaningful way. The most likely outcome is an even larger salary cap number with more tools to maneuver money in contracts. So, the back end cap numbers on any deals made going forward is even more circumspect then in the past.

It takes two people to agree to the terms of a contract. Some players are going to want money upfront, creating a larger cap hit.

Eric Schaffer did wonders with this contract, but Collins and his agent had to agree to it.

There are backloaded contracts where you've paid a huge signing bonus and kept the salary low in the first few years, like the Redskins used to do under Cerrato. And then there are backloaded contracts with low signing bonuses and no guaranteed money after the first few years.

With the former, your cap gets crushed if you release the player. With the latter, you can release the player after three years with little in the way of cap repercussions. The Redskins signed Collins to the latter.
