    I agree it would be good to get picks or something out of it I just think if for some reason they decide it wasnt tampering then it will make it look like the FO is just trying to find excuses for not resigning him.
     
  2. i dont understand your reasoning he was signed and pretty much announced a redskin before the free agency period why wouldnt we say somthing or worry about exuses on why we could not resign him

    its low risk high reward as stated in previous post

    yes we should say something...but on the same hand, if there isnt alot of proof, we dont want to come off sounding like the chargers...always crying about everything.

    and not to take the skins side here, but they threw 100 mil at him, no other team would have paid that for him...would you not jump at a 100 mil? no matter what team it was

    Didn't Tampa offer him more than $100 million???

    I don't quite understand the "No one else was going to pay him that" argument either. If he knew the Skins were going to give him at least $100 million when he became a free agent, why would he entertain any offers the Titans made before free agency started??? It doesn't matter that they offered a ton of cash, it matters that they did it when only the Titans had the exclusive right to make offers.

    If the Titans threw $65MM or $75MM at you wouldnt you sign it...Yes...unless you already had knowledge you could get $100MM from someone else? That is what the speculated problem was. He or his agent knew the Skins would pay XXX dollars. And if that is why he didnt sign with us then there is clearly tampering with a player would really wanted to re-sign. IMHO

    That's what I'm saying. The terms of the deal are irrelevant. It's the fact that there was contact before FA started. That's the issue here.
