Why haven't they released DAndre Baker for his armed robbery of thousands ($12K) of dollars and watches at gunpoint, and sloppy attempt to cover it up (with Dunbar)? In fact, they're letting him report to the team!

Doubles standards. Are they more lenient with 1st-Round CBs than a kicker? Are there other reasons?

Let me save everybody some time. The answer is yes. If it were the Redskins, we'd be doing the same thing.

Re: Offseason: Around the NFL

Are any of our rookies signed yet?

Odd -- I cant find anything on whether the Skins have signed any of their 2020 draft picks. We did sign our UDFAs like TE Thaddeus Moss.

Redskins transaction tracker has nothing for our drafted rookies. Are we waiting to see if there isnt a season so we dont have to pay them?

https://www.redskins.com/team/transactions/2020

Looks like about 40% of the 1st rounders in the NFL have signed. Highest being Lions cb Okudah 33.5M over 4 yrs. That should give us a ball park for Chase.

I searched our Rotoworld team page back to January.

None yet. They always detail all signings, so they'd be in there if we had.


Saw this fun snippet:



Jan 19, 1970, 4:19 AM ET

ANTONIO GIBSON
WR, WASHINGTON

Redskins coach Ron Rivera said RB/WR Antonio Gibson has "a skill set like Christian (McCaffrey)."

"He's a little bit bigger than Christian, but he's got a skill set like Christian," said Rivera, who obviously coached McCaffrey for two seasons. "This is a very versatile, young football player that we really think is going to be a guy that can get on the field for us early and contribute." Gibson was designated as a wide receiver when selected with the No. 66 overall pick but has since been discussed as a running back who will align all over (including in the slot and out wide) Washington's formation. Arguably the most efficient player in the nation (15.6 yards per touch) last year, it sounds as if the team's coaching staff is completely on board in utilizing Gibson's versatility after he led all FBS skill players in yards after contact per attempt (8.0) with the Tigers last year.

We are one of 5 teams that have not signed any of their draft picks. This link shows all the teams, and signed/unsigned picks.

With all the front office turmoil, I don't know that it is completely surprising, but seems they need to get it done at this point.

Apparently they just wanted to wait until I posted this link. We now have all our picks signed.

Re: Offseason: Around the NFL

Yeah those happened fast. Good to get those weapons signed. Will Charles have a shot to start? He is first round talent.

He sure has talent. I'm not sure he's ready to start in the NFL right now though. Hand technique needs improvement IMO.

Re: Offseason: Around the NFL

Oh geez, it's not over. Never over with this guy.


https://www.rotoworld.com/football/n.../antonio-brown

Two days after announcing his retirement, free agent Antonio Brown indicated he would like to play in the NFL again.

As stated in our last blurb, Brown wasn't fooling anyone. This is now the third time in the last calendar year that the 32-year-old free agent has not only hung up his cleats, but quickly taken them down hours later. We would expect him to lace them back up for either the Seahawks, Buccaneers, or Washington the moment the league hands down a decision stemming from his recent legal issues. Brown remains a confident selection in Best-Ball leagues since he offers a ceiling others in his range can only dream of.

Considering the WP thing the first big FA move you would make is signing AB?

Re: Offseason: Around the NFL

I don't want him, but it's been a rumor that hasn't gone away. Haskins working out with him probably sparked it but he's also been working out with OBJ and there's no chance we're going after him. Dwayne's just a popular guy.
