But at this particular point (I'm assuming at this point we've frozen everything in place), it will have to be. If we sign some more people at a later point in FA, then my sentiment will change. Well also when/if we trade Trent, or if he doesn’t show up, I’m sure that will trigger us signing a FA LT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. But that is also a "future" event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess he could get $12M now, but could be in for a big payday if he plays well in 2020. JP Finlay is a reporter. If he reported this, then you would be able to find it in writing. And you can bet it would be linked to from national sites. This is all unsubstantiated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With everything going on, OTAs, training camp might already be abbreviated. We need Haskins to get all the reps and attention so we can figure out if he is for real or not. I might think differently if Rivera was taking a win now approach to free agency, but he is showing no urgency to win now, so why get a short term solution here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they traded for Allen I thought Cam was a far fetched possibility in a signing or trade, but I think it’s out the window now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Draper Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Good question! he knows the offensive system. Haskins doesn’t. I hope Haskins is the real deal but last year didn’t prove that. If Cam does well- we keep him, if he doesn’t don’t we get a comp pick? I really don’t see a downside. If Haskins beats him out and does well- that’s great! If he doesn’t, he has time to learn from a pro mentor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, whether his demands were as high as being amongst the top paid in the NFL I guess is debatable bc he himself nor his agent ever said so, but there has been information out there that he wanted a substantial raise and it’s been out there for over a month, you can chose to believe that or not.

Allen is depth Cam is a former pro bowler recovering from injury Haskins is a very inexperienced QB if I was coaching, no way I give Haskins the keys To my future until I see who he is, how he prepares, how he performs etc . Now if Haskins is as good as a number here think he is- what’s the worry- he beats Cam and Allen our for the starting job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins212689 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Why don't I ever see any other teams looking to start QB controversy but US. Alot of Fans who post here really don't support Redskins QB's like other teams. Even as a Fan who didn't Trust Cousin's long-term or in Must Win situations, I would've just traded him oppose to bring in another guy causing Team Drama. How would signing Cam not be full of Bad Drama? If Rivera wants Cam he needs to trade Haskins! Cam isn't Alex Smith looking to help bring Haskins/or a Mahomes along. He's looking to prove he's still that MVP or something close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looking to prove he's still that MVP or something close to that. We aren’t as invested in other teams as we are the Redskins, so we don’t really pay attention to those teams QB controversies. Since Joe Theisman broke his leg in 1985 the Redskins have rarely had a QB start two years in a row and play like a good starting QB the entire year - really, Cousins might be the only one - so since we haven’t had QB consistency in 35 years - except from 2015-2017 - we constantly have QB controversies. It has more to do with the talent that we aren’t acquiring and developing or keeping at the position rather then anything else. A lot of teams have QB controversies almost every year and they too are almost always one of the worst teams in the league.
