yeah , who could use a 3x pro bowl OLB
Clearly not many want this particular 3x pro bowl OLBer. Remember it was you in the above posting that wrote "HAD" his best year....this should never be said of a still active player!

dude we have played 4 games . he started off slow last season . i suspect he will push 10 sacks and allow others to get sacks which cant be measured and his hits and pressures still lead the team
now is that worth 11 mil ? no But he is an above avg OLB and is at least the 2nd best defender on the field for us
and if no one wants him in FA stymie then we get him back cheap
i see no reason to get rid of him at this point
With your opening line here you've just summed up the futility of this team year after year after year. Given that I'll play on your turf for a minute. To quote you you've written that he "started off slow last season" I DO NOT disagree with this at all, however, when the team is technically out of playoff contention after their first few games, what good is it to pick it up later? Then he like others are playing to keep their jobs and the money rolling in.
Yeah we get him back in FA, but what are we getting? Two things: 1. A guy that no one else wants except us.......because, 2. His lack of inspired play during the first few games will contribute to your team being out of the playoff hunt before the mid-season mark.
Maybe getting rid of him, is not the answer, but waiting for him (and others) to pick things up is exactly the formula that has eliminated this team from any hope of seeing playoff possibilities.
what we are getting back is a 3x probowler with the potential for more on the cheap at its best
at its worst we are getting an above avg OLb on the cheap
Orakpo vanishes way too much to be highly paid
This is the first post you have made in this thread that makes any sense what so ever.
Rak is a pass rusher. He is not a great pass rusher but he is a pass rusher. Pass rushers get paid because as we have seen in Washington they are very difficult to find and to replace. So somebody will pay Rak a lot more than 5-7 million a year. So he will walk and the fans will be happy. And make no mistake I don't want to overpay for him either.
But if you think the defense will be better off you would be wrong. Don't know if anyone has noticed or not but Trent Murphy has not really shown to be more than "a guy". He certainly does not have the quick burst off the line that Kerriban and Rak have. As much as Rak disappoints there will be a drop off to Murphy IMO.
hes saying both, rak is over payed but murphy is a down grade so the skins will have to pick their poison.Kind of confused by your reply. Do you want to keep him or not? You can't just say that you only want him if they don't pay more than $7 M. Things don't work like that. Lots of teams overpay for guys - it all depends on the situation. You can't have a team that strictly consists of guys getting paid exactly what they deserve.
If you believe that a player should be retained & you pay him an extra $1-2 million a year so be it. I really don't have much of an issue with the Skins LB corps. They have much greater issues elsewhere. If the Redskins had even an average secondary I believe that the rest of the defense would look that much better.
