There are offers but should the Skins have paid 7 to 10 million per season like the Bills did for Murphy?

Obviously ZB isn't getting many offers, he hasn't landed anywhere

Re: Redskins free agent signings 2018

I don't know what the offers are (or were) that have been extended. While I appreciate the idea of not breaking the bank for big names, as has been done in the past - and rarely worked, you have to pay at some point if you want to improve the team. I'm stuck wondering a couple things. Is it possible that players just don't want to play here because they don't want any part of this team? Are they undervaluing players - both our own and other free agents while other NFL teams are adding? Do they really have a plan to improve? I can't figure out what's really going on...

I hear it's still possible that they retain Zach Brown and Junior, and DRC is still a possibility, but they'll have to start writing some checks...

I feel pretty good about him ending up back here. He’s simply not going to get top dollar. He’s not a complete player.

I just feel the Redskins don't really value their own guys. Never have under Snyder. Only on a few occasions. But they'll rush to pay guys from other teams in a heartbeat.

Idk.. but so far they've let a bunch of their drafted players leave. I would think that you have to try and re-sign Breeland and Murphy over giving Richardson 20 million guaranteed.

Morgan Moses and others have been paid. Problem is fans get emotional about players. We are not privy to their attitude all the time. I mean Twitter helps like when Breeland went off on it about Norman coming in I figured he may be done. We do have the records the coaches do on time spent in the weight and film rooms.

I don't think that's been true for a while. I can think of a ton of guys we have kept and re-signed. But at the same token, not every "great guy" is worth keeping from a football perspective. We have only rushed to pay DJax and Norman, in recent memory, and they both were one off's. We also have quietly extended a lot of our players over time. But some players (maybe a lot of players) do want to see what the market is, that's what the NFL is nowadays.
