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?

I don't know. Im trying to wrap my head around it.
Looking at the Giants for example and how big of a different snack made there. Maybe the chiefs see Logan as doing that here. But if that's the case, a 1 year deal is weird.
I don't know. Looks bad.
