When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

Has anyone heard anything about Rocky McIntosh and if he is still sidelined while rehabbing ?
Also, if we will get to see him practicing at training camp or play in preseason? Especially b/c I believe he is the only Un-Signed rookie to worry about. That would be a let down to not see what we got.

It's kinda weird hearing about how Holdman/Clemons are battling it out for that spot. Clemons can only step up to blitz or to stop the run, he can't cover and doesnt seem likely. The spot seems to have gotten real vanilla although all they need is a working wheel anyway.

I wouldnt be too concerned about it. Second rounders usually sign a few days before training camp.

He doesnt have a whole lot of leverage, so he will probably sign a few days into camp.

Oh man, I 1000% disagree with this. All they need is a working wheel? Hell no. If we're going to be the kind of defense that keeps offenses guessing at all times, we need to keep them off guard and wondering which LB is going to blitz. If offenses know that blitzes will come from Marcus's side, he might as well not even blitz, because he's going to get picked up.

In this sense Clemons is of the utmost importance. In my estimation, we didn't need Rocky McIntosh for anything other than depth. Holdman can hold his own on first and second downs, and you can always swap in Clemons in passing situtations. McIntosh provides a [B]POSSIBLE[/B] answer to both issues in one package. At minimum, he provides depth at that spot, which actually is incredibly important. We have to effectively threaten the offensive line from both sides, not just with one side. Otherwise our blitz packages will become too predictable.

Re: When will Rocky sign?
 

clemons isn't just a straight blitzer. he just got hurt last year and a bit forgotten about. holdman CAN NOT hold his own which should be blatantly obvious to anyone who saw a game last year. maybe he'll go worst to first, but i won't be holding my breath.

rocky isn't going to get a big contract, so i wouldn't be too worried. he'll sign before camp most likey for 4 years of near vet min and about a mill in signing bonus.

Re: When will Rocky sign?
 

thatguy, it almost seems like his contract is set in stone already, so what is the hold up? probably the up front signing bonus

Re: When will Rocky sign?
 

from what i have read this offseason, warrick holdman is doing extremely well and has a very good shot at holding that ROLB position

Re: When will Rocky sign?
 

There will be a flood of signings this week.

Re: When will Rocky sign?
 

I wouldn't expect Rocky to start even if he gets into camp on time. GW likes to bring his players around slowly and I dont think Rocky will be any different.ST didn't start and either did CR. He may play right away but don't expect him to start right out of the gate.

Re: When will Rocky sign?
 

Rocky will sign before camp, no second round picks hold out

Holdman will be the starter at the beginning, rocky will start playing a lot more towards the end, especially if holdman plays like he did last year

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

Snyder and company have done a great job the last few years getting our picks signed on time, I'm really not concerned about McIntosh.

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

He'll be on time to camp. The only reason he hasn't signed is because no one around his draft position has signed yet. They wait around until that happens so that they can gauge their market value.

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

Thats all well and good, personally i feel they will get the deal done before training camp, but from this article i just read it may look like reggie will hold out for a long time, Already a probable contract hold out, Reggie Bush's agent says he could refuse to sign at all and re-enter the draft in 2007.

i hate reggie bush

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

The Saints have way too many running backs as is. It will take them a while to come up with a plan to trade or release, it be nice if the Skins could grab Stecker or somebody.

wow, that'd be retarded. if he held out, how exactly does he think that being a greedy malcontent is somehow going to get him more money? Sittign out a year doesn't typically raise draft stocks. It'd kill his endorsement value too.

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

yea rocky ul sign a few days into training camp

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

I would love to see him on the field the 13th for the bengals!!!.....just a little question to see what you guys think....with McIntosh in there do u think there is a harder hitting team other than our redskins?? it seems as if we are just going to crack skulls this year ...cant wait!!!

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

I would think that Rocky's contract would be somewhat "sloted". Isn't that the term they use for guys beyond the first 4 or 5 picks? Where it is generally undersood that his salary and signing bonus are between x and y and there is not much to negotiate.

thats really hard to judge. maybe the steelers, maybe the ravens, maybe the bears with their ramsey-suplexes... ;)

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

With camp right around the corner when will Rocky be signed??? Any word??

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

I've been wondering about his signing too. I figure it'll get done this weekend.
Hopefully Rocky can contribut right away in nickel packages, I agree w/others that said GW will work him into rotation but not start him right off.

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

My bet is he'll sign at the last minute and be in camp by Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

Tick Tock Tick Tock.

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

he should have a deal before all the first rounders

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

During Gibbs press conference he said it was a done deal but that maybe reality had to set in on the other side. So I don't know if theres any trouble with his agents or whatever or what that means, because Gibbs did sound optomistic when he said "basically done".

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

Andyman from ES posted as DONE deal!!
Andyman is ALWAYS right.

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

One of the main dudes over at Extremeskins said Rocky just signed. Not that I ever check out what's going on at that site or anything.

Re: When will Rocky McIntosh sign?
 

Watch the press conference that Gibbs had, he said they are "very close", ES people can suck my nuts.
