[quote=Schneed10;1140757]He's an emotional guy, its going to take him a bit to come around to reality but since the Redskins have the right to match any offer they're in no hurry to up the ante. All they have to do is let other teams set the market and match it, which they'll surely do.

I see it dragging out forever but he'll definitely be a Skin.[/quote]

It may, at this time be appropriate to see how he fares with the.............[B]Physical fitness test[/B]?

no one is ever going to give JG $8m this year straight up. if someone was that dumb, he'd be signed to another team right now. the right of refusal is probably hurting his ability to get a contract elsewhere though, since no one wants to waste their time hammering out a deal on our behalf. anything reasonable is going to get matched, so why bother?

Glad to see this. He made a few key big plays last year.
Hope he keeps his wheels oiled up & makes the team.

it is obvious the Redskins are being frugal, so if another team thinks he is worth $$$ then it is doubtful the Redskins will match the offer.

If somebody thought he was worth a lot then they likely would have made that offer by now.

He's only getting low salary deals with incentives.

paying market value is not being frugal.

The Redskins have signed [B]one free agent[/B] from another team. And it was a relatively small contract.

Agreed! [emoji106]

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

at this point in free agency, the big money is basically gone. anyone still holding out like JG or fitz has, in all likelyhood, already missed the boat (except maybe kaep, but that's a trade).

I wonder if there was any other interest in Reggie Nelson other than your basic kicking of tires

lets hope so, a good experienced free safety is vital ... even if he is a short term solution. Resigning Goldson is a desperate move.

I think we are talking...this could go like the Casey Hayward situation. If we negotiate and lose out, look for us to resign Goldson fairly quickly.

When Heyward agreed, we then made an offer to Blackmon to bring him back.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

The free agent market this year has not had a lot of choices for us or anyone else for that matter.
Its obvious why we have signed bupkiss.
Having said that I hope that McClue has something in the works to get us additional draft picks.
As it stands, I could see us drafting defense the first four rounds in a row.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
 

Um, free agency is far from over.
