Vaccaro just went from a $1.5MM 1 year deal to 4/$26MM. The market is robust for safeties. Maybe Amos comes in closer to what we thought for Collins (5/$60MM/$30MM), or maybe he gets even more.

Yep, I agree

I wonder what Earl Thomas is thinking. He may try to surpass that, but he won't get the same length in his contract.

I think we are going after Smith and maybe Williams. I don't know if we put that amount in safety. Might just resign Geathers and draft a guy to take over in a year or two. Maybe faster if Geathers keeps getting hurt.

It’s behind a paywall, but Holder says the Colts were involved with Collins until the price tag got outrageous.

I just heard Holder on JMV. He said his sources tell him that Ballard did make an offer to Collins and it was significantly lower than what the Redskins signed him for. He also said they were involved in the Amos market. Again, Ballard doing what he said he'd do.....assign a value and stay disciplined.

I'd be willing to bet all other offers to Collins were "significantly lower than what the Redskins signed him for." That contract is stupid money.

The Redskins have sucked for as long as Synder has been their owner. He throws money around and hasn't sniffed more than .500 in his tenure. If the Skins are outspending anyone else, it's a bad deal

And I don't hold that against Collins one bit. He probably got $20MM more than any other offer. I wouldn't be able to look my wife in the eye if I passed up that kind of financial opportunity.

I'll say it again, Snyder and Allen are fucking dumb asses.
