Re: Redskins sign young tackle Bruce Campbell
I think we need to keep reminding ourselves that free agency is not the way to build championships - especially not a way to build a young, talented team. I'm fine with free agency being ho-hum and hopefully keep looking at the draft for starters. I think the 'skins can land some high quality guys in the draft, and hopefully continue to develop the current guys who have been drafted by the team.

Re: Redskins sign young tackle Bruce Campbell
Lol skins don't have a good roster outside of 4-5 players. We need a foundation before we overpay in free agency.

Re: Redskins sign young tackle Bruce Campbell
I've actually been surprised lately how seriously NFL teams take scouting high school and college players in their back yard. Obviously Campbell is a pretty easy connection given that he played at Maryland but I've seen a couple of examples lately of players that went out of state to go to college and ended up signing modest contracts with their local pro team from their high school days. Sure they usually get cut before the season starts but thats besides the point.

Re: Redskins sign young tackle Bruce Campbell
I honestly think the Raiders just threw a big number on the table for Safford because this year teams have to be spending at least 90% of their cap. Being forced to spend + a lot of cap room to fill + a player you desire = huge win for Saffold.

Re: Redskins sign young tackle Bruce Campbell
The 89% is over 4 years (2013-2016), but yes they do need to spend, but why not spend on their own guys?

Re: Redskins sign young tackle Bruce Campbell
Raiders will regret that contract just like every free agent contract they've done. Campbell is good, but he has to get healthy.

Depth depth depth. Only place weve improved. Depth guys for a last place defense & oline.

Re: Redskins sign young tackle Bruce Campbell
I heard there might be a problem with Bruce Campbell and his physical (imagine that). Can anyone confirm he signed a contract?

Re: Redskins sign young tackle Bruce Campbell
Per John Keim didn't sign contract because rotator cuff surgery not fully recovered.

Re: Redskins sign young tackle Bruce Campbell
I'll actually be kinda bummed if we can't eventually get Campbell due to RE Rotator Cuff injury on his physical. Great Athlete, if he ever learned how to block he could be really promising. Never hurts to have young athletes. Was a really Low Risk potentially High reward signing.

Re: Redskins sign young tackle Bruce Campbell
Tore a rotator cuff signing a term sheet. Nice. Almost as good as Gus headbutting himself to the bench.

Re: Redskins sign young tackle Bruce Campbell
With all his athletic ability maybe he was meant to be an OG not a OT. Please don't say original gangster.
