Not necessarily. The rumor was probably started by Rolle's agent to set the tone for his client's negotiations. The Redskins were the perfect victim because of our situation with Smoot and our history of signing free agents with large signing bonuses. The fact that Rolle played under G. Williams helped it sell too (I questioned that because Williams wasn't pressed to bring in Winfield last year). Also, the rumor could've been started by a rival team just to pry Smoot away from us. How could you spend $15 and you're not budging on the proposed $10 offered?
