Love DJax, do not love that he does not participate. JMO but it sends the wrong message, the one we are trying to get rid of under SM.

Wish he would participate but also think the impact of him not being at the voluntary practices is over stated.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Not comparing the 2 players but exceptions have always existed when it comes to talent.

 

[Sportster 72]

Exceptions have always existed under Snyder. Not blaming this one on him. DJax is being paid a LOT of money. Another 30 catch year and he would not be seeing a big contract from me if I had anything to do with it. Team building happens when you are part of the team. I know a guy named Garcon is there.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Yikes.

Jackson can do what his career can handle. 500 grand is

The difference with signing 3rd round picks...


Excerpt

As one agent told the FTU, “It’s just a weird round. called the [NFLPA] a couple weeks ago to ask about it, and they said, ‘It’s the wild, wild West.’”

As for why it's so wild, more from the Florida Times Union:

It’s weird and wild because the collective bargaining agreement essentially allows for negotiating in the third round.

“I don’t know why they did that,” the agent said.

Based on the rookie compensation system, Ngakoue - as the sixth pick of the third round - is assured of a $540,000 minimum salary and a $856,172 signing bonus ($214,043 cap charge for four straight years).

But per salary cap expert J.I. Halsell, the system also allows for “additional compensation,” of $456,000 for Ngakoue ($76,000 in 2017, $152,000 in 2018 and $228,000 in 2019). But there is no language in place for what percentage of that the players should get. Thus, the negotiating.

Last year, Houston receiver Jaelen Strong, the third round’s sixth pick (Ngakoue’s slot this year), got 62 percent ($249,000 of an available $402,000). Three picks earlier, Jaguars guard A.J. Cann received 75 percent ($311,000).

The delay in signings occurs when the team and agent look at the slot since 2011 and see what they feel is an abnormality. The team feels a higher percentage was given in the previous years and they want to lower that or the agent feels the previous teams successfully low-balled the player and thus, a greater increase is required.

In 2015, the Philadelphia Eagles selected linebacker Jordan Hicks with the 84th overall pick. Hicks agreed to a four-year, $2.99 million contract with around $652,000 in guaranteed money.

All these delays could have teams waiting to see what other picks around them get paid.

Jets linebacker Jordan Jenkins, selected one slot ahead of Fuller, agreed to four-year deal for $3,123,920 with $723,920 fully guaranteed.

“What might be happening is there is something that sixth slot that hasn’t been consistent over the past couple years,” the agent said. “The other possibility is - and this happens often - is the team and player can’t agree and they might be saying, ‘Let’s just see what happens around us, the pick before and after.’”

Let's see if Fuller is back on the field this week when the media gets a chance to watch practice. Washington isn't rushing the talented corner or pushing him too hard coming off surgery. For now, there doesn't seem to be much of a rush with getting the third round picks to sign on the dotted line.

Mike Jones' mailbag...

Is it possible that the coaching staff will replace Pierre Garcon with Josh Doctson by week 1? Garcon is a great leader but tends to have a hard time getting separation. Doctson, DeSean Jackson, Jamison Crowder and Jordan Reed seems like the dream team. What do u think?

– L. Wiks

I really don’t understand fans’ eagerness to push Pierre Garcon out the door. He has done nothing but produce since he signed with Washington four offseasons ago. Whenever given the opportunity, Garcon makes something happen. He’s not used on a lot of deep routes, so he doesn’t often get to show off his speed, but he has no problem getting open on short or intermediate routes either. Last season, he recorded 72 catches on 110 targets. That means he caught 65 percent of the passes that came his way (second-highest clip behind Jordan Reed), and according to sportingcharts.com, Garcon had only one dropped pass in 2015. He averaged a solid 10.8 yards per catch and recorded six touchdown receptions, his most since joining Washington. He makes tough catches in traffic and brings a toughness to the position. Why get rid of that for an unproven rookie? Just because Doctson has great size and athleticism doesn’t mean he’s ready to step in as a starter. And even if Doctson does come in and light it up, given the lack of dependability from Jackson last season as he battled various nagging injuries (and his lack of versatility – he’s really not a threat unless running the deep route), it’s smart to have another veteran to turn to.

So, having said all that, no. I don’t see Doctson replacing Garcon. There could be plenty of times where they’re on the field together, or times when Garcon is on, and Doctson is off, or Doctson is on, and Garcon is off. There’s nothing wrong with having multiple threats.

i agree with all of this , why are we looking to push a productive player out the door ? let dox develop
