Commanders sign Bowen **merged**

[ThreeSportStar80]

What's sad is that Bowen is gone and the dancing fool remains on the roster.

Ain't that the truth!!! Igor is horrible.

:bang2:

I know people love to minimize any and all signings by the Skins, but this one hurt. Not like we're losing a Pro Bowler, but he was a good rotation guy that Ryan supposedly loved. Plus, we were already thin on the d-line.

This.

 

[Wulfman]

I think Igor is in the "We'll see" camp until we see what unfolds. But he absolutely fits into the dead weight camp thats been cut lately. He signed a 4/$18M deal and hes awful.

Aye. If they can bring two guys who have starting ability, it's basically a message to Igor that says, "You'd better pick it up a notch and show us why we shouldn't keep a younger guy who makes a lot less, or you're going to be looking for a job." If that doesn't motivate him, he can join Wade in Houston.

My suggestion wasn't to bring Igor and Spears back as the starters. Garrett has been harping about getting better at every position, and I don't think he meant standing pat on the front line. The idea only works if Jenkins and Spears were both brought in. It's a long shot, but I haven't heard Ryan raving about Igor's play the way he did about some others, so don't really know what he thinks of him...just what we think.

Yeah I know what you meant, my post was two different thoughts, as I have no idea what will happen with Jenkins.

He will not leave Green Bay if they want him back. They can pay him as much as Dallas can.

This is a good move for Bowen, i can see why he signed, problem is we are very thin in depth. We better start signing some players, because this isnt looking good. :bang2:

But i do have faith that our boyz will bring in some new faces. If we dont go after jenkins however, Im saying we are in the ASO sweepstakes. Just my opinion

 

[mmohican29]

I dont get some of you guys. You want Jerry to be a better GM so what does he do? He signs by far the most important player to us in Doug Free back. He signs another one of our own back in Kyle Kosier for a solid deal. Now you want him to go over pay for someone just because we haven't signed 7 players in the last two days like Washington? Some of you just have no idea how to build a solid franchise.

Go ahead little Dannys of the world, throw your money away at players who are over valued. Teams win because of solid drafts and sly free agent moves. Not winning the offseason super bowl.

I rest my case.

That's alot of money for a guy who was basically a back up

:signmast:

I'm not so sure about this. There were several reports during the lockout that Jenkins felt disrespected because the rumors from the front office were that they weren't going to pursue keeping him and thought his back-ups could do just as well. Now whether that's what they were actually thinking, or whether they could overcome any lingering negativity is a whole different kettle of fish. But just because they may now determine they want him after all doesn't mean he will decide to stay.

Compensatory picks *****es!

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Alan Branch is a young player that is an FA I believe. He could be very interesting. I watched him at Michigan and the boy could play. I haven't watched him much in Az but he's a guy that might fit well.

**UPDATED NFL NEWS**Source: Looks like the Cowboys are now in lead for Jenkins with the Packers still in it & now Browns have inquired

 

[hornitosmonster]

I guess good for him but the Commanders continue to make dead scratchers year after year.

 

[NeonDeion21]

I rest my case.

So using your logic we should go overpay for someone just to get someone to please you?

 

[makumiku]

What makes everyone think he was signed for a lot of money? It's 12.5 million guaranteed and the total is for 27.5 million over 5 years.

The devil is in the details. I wonder how much he'll actually be making other than the 12.5 guaranteed.

Maybe a lot of the rest is based on incentives etc. etc..

 

[Vinnie2u]

Jerry is learning not to overpay for his own players.. I Don't blame Bowen for taking the money and running..

 

[perrykemp]

He will not leave Green Bay if they want him back. They can pay him as much as Dallas can.

Ted Thompson has no interest in keeping him. Didn't even broach the subject with his agent in the off-season. That tells you how much Green Bay wants him.

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

That $12.5 million essentially guarantees him two years salary minimum, likely three years.

5.5 million a year for a guy who's never started is a lot of coin.

Wow! That's a chunk of change for a JAG.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Does this make Bowen the new blocker magnet?
