Well, someone has to say it...

[CowboyWay]

Ok, I'm sure I'll get bashed with the "Free Agency isn't over yet" crap, but I must say it looks like Jerry is letting us down this year boys. It makes me sick to see the foreskins making deals, and what'd we get so far? A backup lineman and as far as I'm concerned a second rate linebacker.

The money is there Jerry...........SPEND IT.

Someone HAS said it.

Then someone else said it.

and then a third person said it.

and so on.

Kosier just isn't that great and Ayodele is solid.


I'm disapointed as well so far but not a lot of guys I really wanted us to get have been signed.


Most of the Commanders players I wanted have even wanted, but at least they're makin moves.


I think youll see us get on the ball starting tomorrow after we make the biggest signing since Deion Sanders to our club.

Terrell Owens

 

[joseephuss]

Do you think Dallas should have signed Randle El, traded for Lloyd and signed Archuleta?

The Commanders are doing things to fill their holes. Dallas doesn't have the same needs. Those 3 guys really do nothing for Dallas. Dallas needs o-linemen, a FS and linebackers.

 

[juice28]

What good has the Commanders done for themselves? They're signing people for the sake of signing them. What help can Lloyd, Randle el, and other insignificant people do for this team.

Also, the Commanders have no good draft picks. NO GOOD DRAFT PICKS! This is a good as it gets for them. That's not our situation.

I would continue but I don't want to start ranting. Why compare our offseason to those freakin idiots. Why do you even want to?! We have a very different AND better situation. Sit back and enjoy. WE ARE NOT THE Commanders!!! Thanks.

Tell me wise one WHO HAVE WE MISSED THE BOAT ON THAT WAS SO GREAT?

Who was signed that was going to help this team for the money being spent? I want to know.
Every day on this board and others its the same thing. Who was cost effective to sign that we missed out on. Just because we are 25 mil under doesnt mean we have to spend it all this year. Remember we have big time player's contracts coming due. Witten and others will take some of this money next year. I know the cap will go up but you cant count on that every year.

I just dont see what players that you guys want to overpay for that will help this team.:bang2:

I dont know about the rest of their signings but those 2 will help improve their offense bigtime.

 

[superpunk]

Hey....original thread.

I have a suggestion for where you can shove that misplaced Commanders envy.

Try envying a team that's actually a model for success.

Jeez criminy.....

Well, if the Boys really plan on releasing Larry Allen, ESPECIALLY for this ex-Mooch player, I'd say we missed a HUGE boat on LeCharles Bentley or Steve Hutchinson. Especially since we have so much cap room and could have designed a clever contract like Hutchinson received with Minnesota that awarded a bunch of green up front to scare away competitors and make the contract acceptable to market standards after year one.

Longwell?

 

[Sandman]

Pretty obvious which board readers/posters have any football knowledge and who just want the big signing..Stay the course, youth and key veteran signing is the way to go..Spend wisely and draft well, that is the key, oh yeah and sign a damn kicker.....

You could be right. I'll step back a little and say those guys don't actually suck even though we didn't need them and definitely don't need to compete with the Commanders for them. My point is this, do we have to sign someone JUST because the Commanders or somebody else signed someone. What kind of game is this. Are we a franchise that now has to react to every Commander action. That's just plain dumb. "Commanders signed _____, so we have to sign someone." I'm glad we're in good (rich) hands with JJ.

Kobe, before you go off the deep end, take a deep breath, and listen to what I have to so to you:

The Skins made a big splash, it's true... but they did so by overpaying, and overpaying rather badly, for some grade B talent... Carter, Archuleta, Randle El, Lloyd and Fauria are good players, but nobody's gonna call them great (except, of course, for some witless home Skins fans, who are not to be taken seriously)...

In fact, just a few minutes ago I read something over on Yahoo that roundly criticized the Skins for their early activites... written by Charles Robinson, the teaser link to it is titled "Skins' purchases haven't been money well spent"... Robinson writes:

If anyone questioned whether the Washington Commanders would have dominated free agency in an uncapped NFL, the answer came over the weekend.

The Commanders doled out massive deals for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antwaan Randle El and St. Louis Rams safety Adam Archuleta – while also trading for San Francisco 49ers wideout Brandon Lloyd and committing to giving him a new contract. While it's not a surprise to see the Commanders so active in the market, the deals given to both Randle El and Archuleta had some surprising numbers.

By all accounts, the Commanders overpaid for Randle El and Archuleta, committing $22 million in signing and roster bonuses to a pair of players who were considered wildly overrated free agents in many circles. Archuleta's deal – the richest pact for a safety in NFL history – will pay him an average of roughly $5 million per season, while Randle El's $11.5 million signing and roster bonuses – and $31 million total – are more lucrative than some contracts given to No. 1 receivers.

I never realized that Archuleta's deal is the richest ever given to a safety, and of course that's a total farce... Archuleta isn't even in the league's 10 best safeties at this point, largely because he's a bit of a liability in coverage...

I don't know that I agree with Robinson's characterization of Randle El and Archuleta as "wildly overrated", but I sure don't think they've tipped the balance of power in the NFC East...

 

[sbuscha]

Unbeleivable....free agency has only been available since Thursday... that is 5 days. If your spending millions you make sure it is right, you do not go out and spend like the Commanders and get par and sub par players for high dollar....


WOW!!!! RELAX!!!

I think there are two extremes..

The guys that just wanna see big name signings no matter what to feel like our team gives a damn.

The guys that are going to defend Bill & Jerry no matter what.

So finding a nice middle ground as our ol' Prez Mr. Clinton would, I'd say that it's good we aren't signing some of the older players who are banking on past glory, or some of the troubled players like Arrington and TO with all the talent but nothing to show for it.... but it's very troubling that we aren't aggressively pursuing a kicker or some of the star linemen when we had so many problems last year and plan on releasing Larry Allen and Marco Rivera soon.

 

[yesfan]

I would say they had their chance at Longwell.I sure hope
Viniteri is the choice,no excuse for this teams' kicking woes.
I otherwise feel we're kicking a dead horse.

Brandon Lloyd will want a new contract, easy fix 10 million bonus over the next 7 years...Wonder what Moss makes compared to Randel El now ? Think Moss might want a raise ?

If S. Taylor gets out of trouble and is with the team next (2006) season, how will he feel about Archuleta's deal ? Hey, but Taylor's a good team player and probably won't say anything, or show up in the Spring TC sessions.
