Redskins Free Agent Re-Signings

[Paintrain]

3 yrs, $13 mil for Riley. Slightly more than 4 per yesr on avg but need to see the guarantee before gauging cap impact.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Not bad. I feel like that's a good deal for an average starter.

especially entering his prime who knows the defense and will be giving the calls for unit. Its important to have some continuety in that role, he interned under Fletch and been under Haz for his career.

Definitely a good deal. He was originally seeking about $7 million a year so I'm glad he came back to Earth.

So, in the last two years we have retained: D. Young, P. Riley, C. Baker, L. Paulsen, N. Sundberg, and Aldrick Robinson.

In addition, from the 2011 draft class, players likely to make to their third year are: Kerrigan, Jenkins, Hankerson, Helu, Paul, Robinson, M. Hurt and C. Nield (Already cut or not likely to be back: Gomes, Royster, B. Thompson, Markus White).

On top of that, the UFA classes from the last few years led to only one stinker that comes to my mind: Josh Morgan.

Not bad guys. Not bad.

Both Joshes (Wilson)

This new regime HAS drafted very well! I hope more of it had to do with Allen then Shanahan so the successes on draft days continue.

At least we can thank Mike for Alfred Morris. His stay wasn't a total disaster.

[talisin]

If only Hankerson would be consistent, he has made some great catches in spurts. Maybe he will be a late bloomer and become a solid started in another year or two. Just hope he isnt the next Devin Thomas.

[JoeRedskin]

Almost included J. Wilson - but he played out his contract, wasn't paid a boat load of money and provided decent play with occasional lapses at a starting CB spot. We got what we paid for out of him - probably more. We signed him as a CB 2 and that's what we, mostly, got out of him. He wasn't a stellar "Wow" signing, but have a hard time saying he was a stinker.

While he wasn't great, Wilson made some solid plays for us over the last 3 years. Not really sure the same can be said of Morgan who never even came close to what he was supposed to be - a reliable, well paid, No.2 WR.

Josh Wilson sucked dude.

To truley gauge the effectviness of former FA classes you have to go back and see who else was signed at that postion and generally same $$$ and how they have perform over the same period of time.

I agree with you BA and company have done well but Wilson was a stinker too.

Wilson is more lucky than solid. He has no skill. He just happens to be in the right place at the right time.

Morgan and Wilson are garbage.

[JoeRedskin]

He got exposed b/c he was on the field all the time. Not something that could be said about Morgan.

As for the comparison class: WalterFootball.com: 2011 NFL Free Agents - Cornerbacks
That was the year of Nnamdi ... nice "no-sign". Even in hind-sight, not a lot of options better at his price.

We were losing Rogers and got a cheap starting CB. Again, we got what we paid for. Not sure what our cap was like that year, but pretty sure we weren't signing big money contracts needed to get the CBs that out played him from that class (Joseph).
