Love to see the breakdown of that deal. Holy crap, he got paid a ton. Guess paying pass rushers is the fad this offseason.

Surprised the Skins don't want to keep him. Interesting.

He had 12 sacks in 2 years. Think they felt that was a lot of money for that level of production. We may grab an edge rusher if one of the top guys falls to us at 15.

Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,
Greetings from BBQ to everyone in BGO land and guests from social media – we hope you become a member here.
Free Agency arrives tomorrow, but the legal tampering period is well underway. This is our latest free agency update for the 2019 offseason and the heat is officially on. The sun now rises on the 2019 off-season and the intensity will continue to increase.
As the sun rises on free agency, things will become much clearer. Will Alex Smith ever return from a brutal injury? What kind of changes will we see to the roster? Those are some of the biggest questions to be answered in the 2019 off-season.
Who will we target in free agency? Who will we re-sign? Who will we not re-sign? Who will get released? Feel free to offer your opinions and predictions.
We take the latest chatter from Redskins Park and media pundits as BBQ tries to formulate what could happen in the coming days, weeks and months.
Free Agents Obtained:
Landon Collins, SS
Restricted Free Agents:
Maurice Harris, WR
Rob Kelley, RB
Exclusive Rights Free Agents:
Byron Marshall, RB (Signed Tender, 3/11/19)
Exercised Option:
Brandon Scherff, OG
Trades:
Contract Extensions:
Pending Unrestricted Free Agents:
Ty Nsekhe, OT (Unknown)
Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix, FS (Unknown)
Pernell McPhee, OLB (Possibly Returns)
Shawn Lauvao, OG (Unkown)
Preston Smith, OLB (Signed with Packers, 3/12/19)
Adrian Peterson, RB (Possibly Returns)
Mark Sanchez, QB (Very Likely Walks)
Josh Johnson, QB (Unknown)
Austin Howard, OT (Very Likely Walks)
Tony Bergstrom, OG/C (Unknown)
Luke Bowanko, C/OG (Very Likely Walks)
Michael Floyd, WR (Very Likely Walks)
Jamison Crowder, WR (Signed with Jets, 3/11/19)
Marquis Flowers, ILB (Very Likely Walks)
Zach Kerin, OG (Very Likely Walks)
Arie Kouandjio, OG (Unknown)
Zach Vigil, ILB (Possibly Returns)
Possible Release Candidates:
Alex Smith, QB (Very Likely To IR)
Josh Norman, CB (Likely Returns, Re-structure Contract?, Pay Cut?)
Vernon Davis, TE (Very Likely Released)
Stacy McGee, DT (Very Likely Released)
Jordan Reed, TE (Likely Returns)
Zach Brown, ILB (Very Likely Released)
Samaje Perine, RB (Unknown, Trade?)
Colt McCoy, QB (Likely Returns)
Troy Apke, FS (Likely Returns)
Re-structure Contract Candidates:
Alex Smith, QB
Jordan Reed, TE
Josh Norman, CB
2019 Dead Money Contracts:
DJ Swearinger ($1.33M)
Orlando Scandrick ($500K)
Off-Season Updates:
Landon Collins to the Redskins is very likely to happen, but it is not a 100% guarantee. Update: Collins is going to be a Redskin.
The Josh Rosen trade to the Redskins is probably a thing, but there is no guarantee this happens either. Alex Smith would be the perfect mentor and would help Rosen to learn the system.
The current Redskins cap room stands at $9.96M for 2019. The NFL cap for this year is $188.2M. Re-signing Brandon Scherff will provide more cap room. Releases and re-structures will also increase the cap room.
If Josh Norman is released, he would count $3M in dead money for 2019. Cutting him would save $11.5M. Overall savings would be $8.5M.
We know absolutely nothing on Alex Smith, but he will obviously not return in 2019. Will he be ready for the 2020 season? Is his career over? Will he retire? Will he give the Redskins any cap relief? No one knows, but we'll stay on top of it.
Redskins beat reporter John Keim of ESPN believes the team will not re-sign Preston Smith and Jamison Crowder. Preston Smith is gone. Crowder is still an unknown, but there is a chance that he is gone. Update: Crowder is signing with the Jets and Smith is heading to the Packers.
Personal Thoughts:
Players I believe that will not return include Zach Brown, Vernon Davis, Samaje Perine, Stacy McGee, Michael Floyd, Mark Sanchez, Austin Howard, Preston Smith, and Luke Bowanko. Update: Jamison Crowder and Preston Smith are not returning.
The contract given to Jamison Crowder by the Jets should yield a fourth round comp selection in 2020 – for now.
Here is a list of players that I would like for the Redskins to consider in free agency. Not all of them can be signed, but these are a few I like.
Tevin Coleman, RB, Atlanta
Duke Johnson, RB, Cleveland (if released)
Tyrell Williams, WR, Los Angeles Chargers
Bud Dupree, OLB, Pittsburgh (likely to be released)
Shane Ray, OLB, Denver
Landon Collins, SS/FS, New York Giants (the big splash) – hitting free agency after not being franchised. Update: Done!
In Conclusion:
The free agency updates are starting to increase significantly. We'll have regular updates and post information as it becomes available. A new mock is coming Friday.

Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,
So the Bills are going with Spencer Long at OG and Nsekhe at RT.
That should last 2-3 games before they both get hurt.
Seriously, I am shocked at the deals guys like Crowder and Smith received.
I was glad to see Washington did not resign them.
We have seen enough in 4 years to know neither player is an impact performer.
ESPN had Crowder as a C+ player with Smith coming in as a B to B-.
I agree with that.
So much for McCloughan and his genius.
If his pick of Cravens and Doctson had paid off we wouldn't have needed to spend $45M on Collins and we still wouldn't be looking for a lead receiver.
I hope this team goes OLB or CB in Round 1 with qb in Round 2.
Jones seems to be dropping.
I don't know that Josh Rosen is going to be a better pro than Jones or Lock.
I wouldn't trade a high pick for him.

It's not coincidental that Smith had some of his best games against the Packers and Aaron Rodgers.

No one's mentioning it, but that idiotically high contract for 33 yr old Alex is really biting this team in the rear. I like the Collins signing though at the high end - he's young. Keenum signing is smart but strictly short-term.
BruDan earn no reprieve for the stupid stuff they have been doing year after year.

When you add the Kendall Fuller part of the trade to that whole sticking mess, it really becomes one of our most epic disaster deals.
Mind boggling.

Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,
Getting Alex Smith for a decent contract was a great move. No one can predict a career ending injury. No one. It's a chance that teams take. If Landon Collins goes down with a career ending injury after a few games this year, that is unfortunate. And trading for a franchise quarterback while giving up a third rounder plus a nickel back is a pretty brilliant move.
The details of the Landon Collins contract is structured in a team friendly manner. Each year, the Skins can convert salary to a signing bonus and lower the cap considerably. Most of that money goes to the sixth year or additional years can be added and the cap hit lowers each season. In the final year, the Skins can cut ties with little or no cap hit. It is a brilliant contract from Eric Schaeffer.
Bulldog, who would you prefer? Landon Collins or D.J. Swearinger? One player always desired to be here - strongly wanted to be here. The other signed where he could get the best deal and proceeded to go Antonio Brown on the coaches. Think about it.
Alex Smith had this team at 6-3 and likely wins against the Texans to go 7-3. Probably wins that close game against the Pokes on Thanksgiving a few days later. But 8-3 at that juncture still equals a bad contract? It's more like bad luck. Bad luck happened, but the front office is mitigating it quite well thus far. If Rosen is added, then it is mitigated in an impressive fashion. So what's the problem here? Don't give me armchair analysis. Give me real analysis and honest debate, not lazy one liners.
You need to rethink Rosen and spend an off-season looking at his tapes. Read the scouting reports. That takes time, by the way. And now he has some experience in the league. Did you see the Cardinals last year? Impressive coaching staff, eh? That is what Rosen dealt with last season, but still did well at times.
Right now, Rosen is better than any of the prospects in the draft this year. No guarantees of course, but some of them could have a good future. This quarterback class could also be comparable to the 2010 and 2011 classes - yeah, that is not good.

Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,
Yea....no sense learning from the past! Dang, I'm all in on trading 2019, 2020 and 2021 first round picks for Dan Jones - if that's what it takes!!! The heck with edge rusher, ILB, CB, OG, TE, WR, o-line depth! We're all set and ready to roll in 2019!
BB...I liked the move for Smith at the time it was made. It became obvious as the season moved on that what we ended up with was a very likable guy who was way over-paid, especially at his age, for basically one very good season in KC. The Skns had screwed up the QB position for years, totally mishandling the Cousins situation, and panicked into the Smith signing - which Coach Reid gladly walked the team into...again. So, here we are, strapped by past decisions - again.
Thought question: suppose Alex had not been hurt. Does one believe he improved, plateau'd or declined as the season wore on? Had he not been hurt, what would be the outlook for this team?

Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,
We'll never know what 2018 could've been for the Skins - other than a likely 8-3 after eleven games. Beyond that, they probably win the division and make it to the divisional round where a loss to the Rams or Saints was inevitable.
Again, the contract for Smith was very reasonable. Such an injury could not be seen. 20/20 is easy and it is wrong to say that it is a bad contract after the fact. That is an insult to Alex - nothing more, nothing less. I will not treat him this way.
