Rumor: I Have A Little Inside Information--Jeff Demps

[fansince62]

My ire is all directed at Goodell and the *iss ants who travel under the title Maras. These people intentionally weakened the Skins well beyond what was merited.

Mara and his cronies have changed the NFL landscape significantly this season. Ironic, since he's on the competition committee. I hope Snyder sues the pants off the NFL and Goodell. Ugh.

Looks like Demps didn't get much money from the Pats. We could have easily outbid them, must have been playing it very cautiously.

Wonder if the signing bonus had anything to do with it. I have no clue where the Skins are against that max figure of $76,585 teams can spend on bonuses for UDFA. Shoot, I didn't know there was limit on that sort of thing prior to reading the article Lanky linked to.

That's a pretty impressive contract for an undrafted player. They guarantee him $211,000 just for trying out.

He definitely lost some money by skipping the draft though.

Ha, me neither. I'm guilty of just skimming the article, I missed that nugget! I wonder if that's a new thing, or how its always been?

Out of curiosity, and trying to pass time until our game today, I just checked out how Demps did in his first game with the Pats. A good start.

3 rushes for 41 yards. 13.7 average. And a 16 yard punt return. His biggest highlight at the 2 minute mark of the video below.

and former Redskin Donte Stallworth was one of the leading receivers for the Pats

and since some people were mentioning a trade for MJD from JAX, there's a rumor that Indy may actually trade for him this weekend.

 

[Ax]

Don't be surprised if Indy's "Big Trade" is with us.

Cooley, or Davis.

Oh, and Demps isn't a Redskin. He's not befitting this forum anymore.

 

[Fear The Spear]

Who do you think we get in return for Cooley or Davis ?

Jeff Saturday ?

EDIT : Scratch that.....didn't know Saturday became a Packer this year

Irsay mentioned giving up picks in this "Big Trade".
For Davis, a 2nd.
For Cooley, a conditional 4th, that would become a 3rd under certain conditions.

The rich get richer, as usual. Sigh. Stupid Mara!

The Colts are fresh out of veteran stud linemen, unfortunately.

He wasn't that good...Patriots just released him.

Pats stash Demps on season-ending IR.
Not sure how this relates to the Skins, but since the thread it still here, there it is

We can put a claim in and stash him on IR for the season a la what they did to get the TE from the Giants.
