The Redskins won their division last year , have a great young quarterback and just added Josh. They're a team on the rise. They'll make the playoffs for sure.

Kirk Cousins. Enough said.

washington is a 7-9 or 8-8 team if cousins has a down year

nick foles threw 27 TDs to 2 INTs in a season once too

Cousins will come back to earth some no doubt, but the rest of the team is quite solid and has gotten better since last year even before Norman. McCloughan also drafts really well so I expect some improvement there as well. They'll be good even without an insane year from Cousins.

Good luck Josh. Hope you do well.

So, how does the MLB and OLB positions fair in Washington these days?

[DeeJay]

They will wreck that division, Cause everybody else sucks

Dec 19th, we will have our blood and guts game

 

No worries, Josh cant out jump Kelvin

[Zaximus]

LOL I'm sure he's going to care, when he's wiping his a$$ with 100's and you're going to your 9-5 job for the next 45 years.

I don't blame the guy.

i see the salt

I bear Norman no ill will for seeking the most he could get, though I do chuckle at the notion that "it wasn't about the money".

I wouldn't have paid him what the Redskins did, so I also have no issue with letting him go.

[X-Clown]

I have no ill will towards josh at all and will root for him in any game that does not affect the panthers playoff chances. I wish it could have worked for him to stay, but it seems to be what both sides wanted. Time will tell whether or not he will regret leaving a good situation for the higher paycheck.

You would think after losing the Super Bowl we'd have a lot more humble fans, but some of you still come off over cocky and arrogant. Redskins aren't some pushover team there on the rise and just like a lot of NFC teams are a few lives away from being consistently competitive.

You realize you're talking about the redskins, right?  

[SmokinwithWilly]

This happens in the real world all the time and people don't get this damn salty about it. People leave for pay raises all the time. This is about setting him and his family up for life. He was holding the winning lotto ticket and he cashed it in. Hell, I would take the extra 35 million. I can't be pissed at a man for doing the exact same thing I would.

It is funny seeing people say "It's not about the money."  That's what it seemed to be about, but that is fine. 
Josh was a great guy in the locker room from what I could tell, and left it all out on the field.  He played out his contract and wanted what he deemed himself to be worth and possibly even more.  I can't blame him. 

I'll hate to see him go, but just like with Smith we'll move on (hopefully not the same start as that season...but you get the point)

[Pox 08]

Uhh.......  Yeah.      Redskins will probably be in the playoffs also.    it's not like he joined the Browns or the Jags. 

 

5yr...........  $75/M.................  4 yr.............. $44M.           I mean,  even if he took a pay cut for us and a miracle happened and we actually did win the SB,  that dude would still be giving up over $30M.           I know a few fans seem to think that money shouldn't matter,  and the players should take whatever,  in an effort to get a SB ring.      A SB ring isn't gonna help pay the bills 20 years from now,  unless they sell that SB ring.  lol.

40 million with a ring (or two) or 50 million without one.......  Endorsements with a SB ring vs endorsements without one.....  Playing with Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly or playing with.......  sorry I cannot come up with something that even comes close.

 

 

Sorry to do this but... it was 4 years and 44 mil from us. VS. 5 years and 75 mil from them. That is a difference of...um...let me think...yeah, 31 mil.

 

Hellz, the 31 mil difference alone is enough for him not to have to worry about no stinkin' endorsements.

one detail of this i've always wondered about...

is the guaranteed money paid all at once?  like does he get a check (or direct deposit, whatever) on redskins' stationary for $50 milliion?  is it paid in installments or is it structured in some other way?  i'd imagine whatever the signing bonus accounts for is paid up front but what about the rest?  is there a "rest"?

 

The guarantee, and signing bonus, are paid up front.
