I think they could be in cap hell in a few years. But as of right now, yes if Harvin can stay healthy.

I think they have a 2-3 year window before the cap bites them in the ass. They'll have to resign Sherman/Wilson and other players they currently have.

I think Bill needs to have his power checked. A lot of his recent personal decision making has not been great. Still a top 5 team in that category though, just not at the top like they used to be. They still do not know how to scout a corner.

That's the only thing I can come up with.

Also the fact that Tom Brady should help his production - i expect Amendola to have alot of games resembling the one he had against us over the next few years.

what's up with teams in the NFC West trying to build super teams?

As Redskins fans, we're the last people who should be criticizing a signing because of injury history. Our quarterback may not make it until he's 25 at the rate he's going.

Anyways, I hate the signing. Too much focus on getting younger when the reality is your quarterback is getting much older and as long as it's Tom Brady's team, who cares about age? Bring in the best player, give your team the best chance at winning a superbowl. Welker does that, Amendola doesn't.

we didnt sign Griffin in FA though bud...

We have all the room to talk we never signed a guy like that from the FA Market.. sure weve signed guys who underperformed but nobody stands out in my mind that we gave a big check to with extensive injury history.

Well yes, but thinking it's funny that AMENDOLA may not play 3 of the 5 years he signed for while our entire future hinges on Griffin's knee is ironic.

Yep, lets cut him now and start Grossman because he knows the system. Save that money and use it on the grass at Fed Ex.

hah!

[Skins4L]

the rich are getting richer while were in falling behind mode once again because of that damn cap penalty. Boldin to SF. Goldson to TB. Harvin/Avril to Seahawks.. good for them but YUCK. Welker to Denver...

Heres whats going to happen. The pats are going to be great at first with Amendola, everyone in New England is going to be like Wes who? Then Amendola is going to get hurt somewhere around games 4-6 and be out for 4-5 weeks and they'll slump again, then Amendola will come back and get hurt again. New England will still make the playoffs, but Manning will torch them with Welker, Decker and Thomas, all the way to the Super Bowl where they play San Fran.

Pretty much what's going to happen. Amendola can't carry Welker's jock.
