Totally agree...sometimes you have to pay for a guy and take a chance. If they sign him I see it as our 1st round pick this year, it's only a game and Synders money so who cares. They will never break all the fan criticism until we win a SB again, people complain that we didn't go after any big names in FA and now people complain. Only thing to cure it is to win.

I want djax here, but saying it's our 1st round pick is a little misleading. The cap hit from a first round pick gives you a top player with 4 years of cap bliss. There's no guarantee of 2 years cap bliss with djax.

I just want it done at this point one way or an another.

» Over the Cap- Top NFL Contracts: Wide Receiver

There are rumors that DJax's deal is going to be more than Deckers, as the standard for FA this year.. So here are the top 16-17 WR contracts. Only Tampa Bay, Lions currently have two WR on this list.

It's interesting to note that of the top 4 teams last year in the playoffs: Percy Harvin had a large contract for the Seahawks, but really only played a small portion of the year. For the Broncos, the highest paid WR is Wes Welker at 20th. The 49ers and Patriot don't have a WR in the the top 20 priced contracs. Point is the best teams don't seem to invest/need high priced WRs..

A more generous signing bonus and years as has been suggested would require any team signing him to jump through more hoops should they have a change in heart.

No Dirt, not true. The cost of releasing Jackson was a $6 mil. dead cap hit. See here or here.

This is one reason why I have beaten the drum against DJax. Philly wanted him gone so bad, they were willing to absorb immediately a dead cap hit of $6 mil.

Besides, in two years a DJax deadcap hit of $6 mil. could be ours, too, if we sign him.

Well $6 mil was cheaper for Philly than getting rid of him in the future when the cap hit was going to be even more.

Alright well I understand this from an argument perspective, and yes there may be something more to tell from this, but it still a terrible thing to have playmakers. Teams have to score, and honestly if we get 2012 IIi back again we will again score. I think if we can pull this off to go along with Garçon and the gang we will be great there this year and possibly prolific next.

If we can add a RT and FS starter in this years draft plus a true nt I would be very happy going into next year.

2 years ago people wondered how good that team could have been in the playoffs sans rg III's knee. We weren't that far from making a run in 2012 until the end of the 1sr quarter against Seatle.

I am not ready to concede that we can no longer compete for the East, and in the playoffs anything can happen.

Not contact wise, but it would all but take WR off the board in the 2nd round and fill a so called need. I don't look at money when it comes to players.

Wonder if JR will be next, but I doubt he would be to impressed by Dale. Who knows though guys like cars that go fast.. Except we usually like ones that turn right as well as left... Zing!

Maybe one day maybe one day!

Doesn't the caps owner own the wiz now?

Anyone know if they clinched tonight?
