[quote=Chico23231;1066881]Riley Cooper: 5 yr 25mil
Eric Decker 5 yr 36 mil
Golden Tate 5 yr 31 mil

Golden Tate got the Paul Kruger deal this year, one that Detriot will regret for years, he's a terrible player, a #2, borderline #3.

Riley Cooper is a clear #2 and got 25 mil, possession guy. A guy who is not a game changer, but can make some unbelievable 8 yard receptions.

Eric Decker flat robbed the bank. He ends up in a spot where he has to be the man and gets no help. The Jets front office is a joke, this is the worst of all the contracts. He's a borderline #2, more like a #3.


Folks we get a game changer for 3 years at 24 million. 24 million. A #1 WR, the biggest deep threat receiver in the game today. Wow[/quote]

I was actually going to try to argue this saying that Golden Tate should put up big numbers on the other side of Megatron, but I just looked at their stats and not since 2011 has anyone on the Lions offense gone for more than 750 receiving yards in a season and that was by Brandon Pettigrew, a TE. That said, look at the relative talent and durability of the guys who are lining up across from Megatron and you have to conclude that Golden Tate is the best #2 receiver they've had; better than Burleson who was putting up solid numbers last season before he had to keep his pizza from sliding off the passenger seat.

I'm not sure that Golden Tate changes their offense in any significant way, but I think it's a solid signing for them. However, at $1.8 million more per year, I'd much rather have DeSean Jackson

Lets sign Brian De la Puente and end the week as free agent champions of the offseason

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

seems like BA and the FO did a great job of 1) securing DJax first visit was with us and 2) putting in the time and effort to squeeze out a reasonable contract and not caving b/c of reported interests by the raiders et al.

seems like a competent FO by all accounts.

im sure jason segal more than once tried to act like he had to go to the west coast to hear those offers and im sure more than once the skins politely and professionally reeled him back in.

i did not think we could sign d jax for a reasonable FMV contract but bruce pulled it off.

That title still belongs to either Denver or the Patriots.

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 

Very reasonable contract. The same old Skins would have made him the highest paid WR in the league. Hoping we can finally put that to bed now.

Also lets put to bed the fact that the Eagles got rid of him because of some article NJ.com posted about gang ties. His pending paycheck, and his relationship with Kelly had nothing to do with gangs. Lol. Nobody from the Eagles organization ever accused him of gang ties.

Yeah it was an obvious smear attempt by the Eagles. Unfortunately too many people bite on that stuff hook line and sinker.

Nope

On a related note (couldnt find a 2014 draft thread) i hope now we can also put to bed the need to snag another pass catching tight end in the draft. If we draft anything other than a cb, safety, or olineman I will be a little upset. I still say grab the best available c, rg with that second round pick.

This is a fantastic point, one that was bugging me badly yesterday. If they did pay him like that, he would've done nothing, as is par for the 'Skins.

Hope it works.
