I like the signing and it sounds like he is the run stuffer we need. Don't get the money but whatever.

ah, don't be like that. Good fans blindly stick with their team no matter how badly they get pissed on.

I'm not freaking out because it's only a 1 year deal.

They've gotta view Logan as more than a 2 down player for that $, but if that's the case, why only a 1 year deal?

Not a fan

This team isn't good at getting ahead of the market on deals with players. (Houston, Berry, Sorenson, Parker, etc.), but I'm willing to back Dorsey on this one.

Every deal in the NFL is a 1 year deal.

It's a 1 year deal that still impacts our cap next year and the year after because we're going to have to make moves with the roster to fit it in. And why? Precisely because its a 1-year deal so all that money has to be slammed into this year's cap.

And when we go into next season with zero cap rollover, people will wonder why we're tight against the cap again. And when we can't cut Smith or when we've extended Colquitt or when we've hamstrung ourselves by whatever stupid damn move we're going to have to make to find the money to cover this wild overpay, what then?

This idea that 1-year deal makes a stupid decision okay is just a complete misunderstanding of the long-term impacts on the cap.

Everything about this contract is bad. Absolutely everything.

Only way it works out is if he plays up to the deal.

Also, after some looking around, I think i've stumbled on another myth we've created here. We think these 2 down NT run stuffers are easy to find. Shitty ones are. I don't know the last time we actually had a good one or really, had a good run defense.

Poe had the 13 and 14 seasons, but in terms of just going ham on the C/G and shutting down the middle, I dunno?

Maybe we undervalue that here?

Dorsey has 10 picks next month and his sole purpose should be selecting talented players to provide depth this year and give us cap relief next year.

Tamba

Colquitt

Draft your 2018 players now, get them experience and replace the vets to open up the damn check book in 2018.

With the lack of interest he seems to be getting we probably could have brought Poe back for that money. Not that he's any better but he knows the system.

How's Chris Baker get 3/$16.4 million and we give Logan $8 million for 1?

Baker's a better, more versatile player than Logan and his deal is worth a fraction of Logans. If the Redskins cut Baker next season, they'll have paid him $6 million for 1 season. If he shows to be worth it, they'll get him next year for another $4.8 million and if he's still productive, a season after that at $4.8 million.

That's the benefit of long-term contracts; there's actual upside built in. At the absolute worst, the Redskins are out less than the Chiefs are on Logan for a guy that was more productive than Logan last year. And at best they get 3 years of a guy that was good against the run and the pass last year for an AAV about 2/3 as much as we got for a pure run-stuffer.

Why the hell are we giving a guy $8 million to 'restore his value'? Jesus Christ, if his value isn't $8 million, exactly what the hell is it?

$7.68 cap hit. That's more than anybody on the DL. For a 2 down run stuffer.

What the ****

So Dorsey's effectively created a mandatory 'needs' draft for next season. Because as you've noted - he doesn't have a choice. He'll have no rollover and some of these backloaded deals (I believe you forgot Bailey), are going to get damn expensive next season.

So he has to draft for next years needs this year. It's not even like he has flexibility now - he doesn't. He can't take BPA, he HAS to take a QB, OLB, ILB and S. That or we're going to be in perpetual cap hell.

Only way this makes sense is if they see Bailey-Logan-Howard as the starters and Chris Jones as the sub nickel pass rusher

What?

Or they're planning on getting rid of Bailey or Howard.
