Tayler has just signed with a Agent!
 

Yes the news we have all been waiting for, Tayler has hired an agent. Apparently he has chosen Eugene Mato to represent him. Hell i'm happy with anybody other than the Postons. It also says on the post that the team is goning to begin neg. immmediately. The only good I can see coming from his long delay is now hopefully Roy Williams and Phillp Rivers will sign before Tayler which will make neg. easier.

Who are your sources?

Skins009-the bearer of good news! Do you have a link to the story?

I predicted by the end of next week, but hey this is even better.

Fellas, does this mean we'll be able to see him Aug. 9th?

Hallelujah!!!!

Well, they have 10 days before camp to get him signed, so I certainly hope so. Personally, I think there will be a deal in place.

To quote Homer Simpson: WoooHooo!

Finally....Thank god!!!

Now get those negotiations started!!
Speaking of that, does anyone else find it odd how teams (esp. the Skins) can sign FA's almost immediately after they're allowed to negotiate with them, but it takes everyone so long to sign high draft picks? Especially considering there is only a specific amount of money allocated for rookies. Also, why do they (all teams) almost always wait until the last couple weeks to do it? I don't get it...

Everybody's trying to get a feel for the market. The Redskins set the market prices.

Teams want to see that the players before and after got paid so they have a benchmark to start at.

I was getting really worried, its not a good first impression to make on Gibbs, and we really need him this year

I see this deal getting done quickly, Snyder negotiates the contracts and he doesn't want to present Gibbs with any speedbumps heading into the season. I can't wait to see #36 out on the field!

I think that the FO already has a very attractive contract ready for him. Due to the fact that he took so long to sign with an agent, they just want to get him on the field, so when he found his agent they can say here is the best deal and try to speed talks up faster.

I am sure that he will want certain things also, but as far as the money I think the FO knows what it will take to get him in to camp on time.
