SeanTaylorsaPIMP Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 It's 6.5 mil guaranteed. Great deal for a huge part of our offense. After battling injuries early in his career, he has come through and become a very important player to our team. Glad to have him locked up for a few more seasons.

I really hope they get him a few more touches a game this year and he can have an even bigger impact both in the running game and as a rwell receiver.

MKnight82 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I like Thompson and think he's a good complimentary back. I have to ask though, he's an injury prone back who's already under contract this season, why extend him now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason to extend anyone you want on your team. And while he's been injury prone, it's not like he's missed whole seasons the last two years.

You bank that he'll have a good year and you get him on a cheap deal compared to what it would have been on the open market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict depending how Cousins does half the year will give him an extension if he plays poorly than his price goes way down. still gotta get Moses and Pryor a contract and Crowder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but Prior, Brown, Kirk, Breeland, and I think Paul and Long are in their last years as guys who will be key contributors. Then you got guys Like Crowder who will be deserving and complimentary guys like Compton and I think Kelly will be in his last year is he continues to hold down that spot. But congrats Chris I hope you ball out this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty clear he wants to hit free agency unless it's the Redskins offer a blockbuster deal, it will just depend on the Redskins if they are willing to give him that deal.
