2018 Free Agency

[Simba]

In certain other sports some teams are happy to look past certain stuff to sign the player while others are more stringent. Could that be the case here or am I being naive when it comes to the NFL?

It’s twofold.

1. Each team has a different physical. What he doesn’t pass here, he could easily pass somewhere else.

2. When you’re guaranteeing a guy who hasn’t proven much, that much money, you might be a little more stringent, especially with an injury guarantee in there.

Regardless, I don’t think this is a move because Crabtree became available. I wouldn’t even say buyers remorse. Just being cautionary and everything else that happened surrounding it makes it look bad. Ozzie, even with 1 year left, isn’t going to make a dumb move like that to erase all of the respect they have across the league - and the league realizes that too.

no outside the fact that rappaport mentioned the Ravens don't want to let Crabtree out the door.

That’s pretty pathetic that desperate for Crabtree turning 31!! That is the equivalent of having a fat chic over and not wanting her to leave. That’s about the best analog lol

Calling it now, Crabtree signs elsewhere and grant doesnt leave Indy and john brown is our only addition

Yeah as soon as we failed grant this has been my fear - that after all the promise I was feeling on Thursday morning with grant, brown and Crabtree on his way to visit but alas we could be down to nothing

Mike Wallace about to cash-in again.

This Ryan Grant stuff isn't really uncommon, just the delay from the legal tampering period makes it look shady. Deals fall through all the time over FOs being uncomfortable with injuries, then other teams will sign the guy.

If we thought that way, we'd never have Smith, Boldin, Mason.etc...

And Bashaud Breeland just failed his physical in Carolina.

Common denominator being the Redskins.

Interesting.
Looks like Skins pass everybody.

Might do us good if Joe were occasionally to get in On the recruiting.

Joe is not that type. He is pretty separate from what goes on with this team on a recruiting level. The only priority for him is picking up his paycheck, being professional and that is it. He doesn't care about who he is playing with. Will say all the right things and act like it's no big deal. well it isnt, for him, because he and his familly are set for 20 lifetimes.

That should put aside the BS notions that we sabatoged him

yes, that's total BS. Of course you have the negative nancies that think the worst of every scenario and only come on to complain.

Redskins doctors: "Eh, you can still walk....get on the field!"

whats wrong with being 31? Being 31 isn't what it used to be. Athletes are far better conditioned. If you're a really good player ( barring bad injuries) you're still doing your thing at 31.

You're pretty immature sounding for a 30 something year old that you claimed to be. You sound like an angry teenager.

No way he doesn't sign. I'll be surprised if he doesn't mug the Ravens a little.

If I remember correctly, he texted and met with Maclin at the facility.

This is very very true.

No wonder that move failed. Never rely on a player with no personality to recruit someone else LMAO

Seriously. The Redskins died when Dan Snyder took over. You are a little late ....
