Redskins tender offer to Coles

[Guttpuppy]

Coles got better last year because he clicked with CPenn,nothing more,nothing less.Two years ago he was an OK WR,a decent back-up on your FF squad.Last year he shot to the top of the ranks when Pennington got the starting job.If he signs with the Foreskins he will be reduced(IMO) from football player to football employee,he must not want to win.He will suffer the same FF fate as Gardner did last year.All kinds of potential in a system that he should be able to implement it,but it just won't happen!If he signs with the 'Skins he will be taken off of my FF wishlist...or at least be downgraded considerably!

I can't believe this, well there goes my fascination will coles and pennington, time to find new favorites to pick in next year's draft. I really think the redskins are doomed to lose. No matter how much talent they gather. I'd like to see Spurrier do well, but from watching the games last year I felt that Ramsey wasn't the answer, and you need a good Qb for the Fun-N-Gun in the Nfl. Maybe they should pick Simms, Grossman or Ragone in the 2nd rd.

Hardly a long shot to think of Spurrier drafting Grossman...question is does he fall past GB

[chaindog35]

I think Green Bay takes Boller in the 1st. and from what I've read about the kid, he looks to be worth it.

wow, this is very big news.

i hope the jets will match the offer, cause like GP said, coles will move down considerably on my fantasy wishlist for next year.

Any idiot can make millions of dollars in the NFL. But are you smart enough not to make a little more and stick with the team that has the better chance to win the superbowl?

idiots.

2003 Bust of the Year: Laverneus Coles

[Nero]

Read the article boys...the only quote that comes from Coles is something along the lines of "If I gotta go get the money instead of it coming to me so be it" Not even one cliche about "Snyder is putting together a championship team" nada zilch zip

So CHawk, you hit the nail on the head....

[chaindog35]

All he cares about is the cash. And that's all he'll get

[Nero]

so do I ... but I ain't getting 13 mil signing bonuses...

in spite of the "winning is everything" mantra, Coles makes sense. In this thread it's mentioned that teams aren't dynasties anymore so why not? Get the cash, you pretty much have an equal chance at getting the ring with any team these days.
