OT: The Football Team formerly known as Redskins - Super Bowl 2025 or bust! [2025-26 Offseason Extravaganza Edition]

Well, that moves me to a "firm 'huh.'"

He’s got a lot of roster bonus $ which isn’t guaranteed at this point, so maybe we can get a deal that includes significant incentives…

 

[Ridley Simon]

Yeah I don’t know how they rework this to make it palatable…

I’d read that the Rams would pick up the roster bonus. Which leaves the base of 12.5m for the Skins to pay.

Which I think is STILL too rich for my blood. They’d have to get an extension done and make most of that salary a new bonus. Spread over say 2 yrs. To drop the cost down to — well, a lot less.

Resign him for 2yrs at 9m a year, and convert the 12.5 to a base of 2.5 and a 10m signing bonus. He’s get his 7.5 from the Rams, and then cost us 9m for each year.

Not saying he would do that. But it’s “possible” (assuming I am accurate on the how the Cap would work)

Wow, I’ll be very surprised if wherever he ends up, it’s for that cheap.

Look, would you guys just get this CK thing all figured out once and for all so I can firmly settle on the appropriate level of ambivalence?!

FFS, people...

Prob not. Which is why I — personally — don’t want him.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I would wait for the Rams to cut him if we want him. Thats a bad contract.

[Ridley Simon]

Meh for both of those.

Sure, should they each get similar comp or a small raise? Yes.

19m between the 2 of them? More than doubling last years figures?

No thanks. I love Wagner, and am closer to doing his figure. Ertz? We were lucky he played most of the season. I like him, but 5m max (and Wagner should be 8m)

Two pretty important guys.

On field and for the culture.

Hard to roll into next season relying on Ertz to be as productive and stay health. No idea where they feel Sinnott is. Really strong TE draft coming up.

It’s not about 2 guys though. As I said, I’d pay up from least year, for Wagner.

Not so much for Ertz

It’s about the collective which will always need vet leadership….I assume AP will handle business appropriately.

Perfect guy for a rookie to understudy for a year.
