We're paying McGee/McClain around $5M per year EACH. Foster has been much more productive and will only cost between $2M-$3.5M a pop. Between Dunbar and Foster, Redskins have done well early in FA.

turtle28 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 I hope Foster can stay healthy. We missed him in those 12 games or so where he was injuried. He’s certainly a good two down LB when healthy. I’m a bit worried that the Foster signing is Zach Brown insurance. With them re-signing Foster so fast while they’ve been trying to re-sign Brown for a while now but he’s asking for a lot, it makes me worry that unless Brown’s asking price comes down because his market isn’t strong that Brown won’t be back.

Zach Brown is also a two down LB, so getting Foster at that price is a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Foster a starter? If so do we need two two-down only starters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could nab a guy like Roquan Smith, we wouldn't need to re-sign Brown. I think the Redskins like Zach Brown at a certain price. I'm sure they'd like to keep him, but only at that price. We'll see how the cookie crumbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Mc Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Disappointed Foster is back. Not that I think he is a bad player, but the need to upgrade is there and this all but eliminates the idea of drafting a starting caliber ILB. That being said, sounds like the contract is reasonable, however if we don’t sign Brown because of 2-3 mill a year difference, I will look at this signing differently.

We might draft a ILB maybe in the third imo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how the cookie crumbles. If that were to happen, the NFL woudl go broke to quick. There would be no need for free agency because teams could fill spots with cheaper talent. Free Agency allows you to go out and get someone before you have to back fill with a younger unknown. I would not change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jaguars either either than Bortles leaves via Adam schefter . Interesting. They only have 17M in cap space. If Bortles comes off thats 19M more. Plus they have to franchise Allen Robinson which they stated they intend to do. 2017 WR Franchise Tag #: ~16M That would leave 20M at this point with no room to sign anyone else or their draft picks. They would have to cut Chris Ivory. Saves about 5M. Cut Allen Hurns - 7M That would be the beneficial June 1st Cuts. Or they would have to cut Malik Jackson as a designated June 1st cut, which saves 13M. Either way, the Jags are going to go into a bad situation if they intend to go after Cousins. At least at the numbers we have talked about. He might give them a discount considering. This is why the transition tag makes the most sense. It will allow the Redskins to see a market value for the QB they have, and then match anything that seems reasonable. I honestly dont care about a glorified 4th round pick with a comp pick (essentially the bottom of the 3rd round compensation we would get for Cousins without tagging him at all, franchise or transition). I want the stability at the QB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
