chickenfried Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It doesn't look that dumb to me. If you perform well in any job, you often get bonuses. We signed Byron "long pause" Sandwich $6 mill for 1.25 games effort. That was dumb. Even when everyone in the media said no one would be stupid enough, we did it and Pigtrino made him the starter without him even taking a snap in a game. That was my second clue that the Pigtrino era was going to come crashing down quickly -- the first was the first game where the players were pathetically prepared.

mr pickle Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 We are paying our starting qb about a 2.5 mill a year if he sucks...and about 4 mill a year if he's good...that's very reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw87 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 That is a pretty average backup contract, which turns into a low end starter's contract if he becomes the starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats about average for a backup QB in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugzy12 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 y would we be paying or i meant even thinking of paying redmen 4M$ a year? (this is for those who thought it was 8m) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLS Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I think what we are paying Redman is a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formul8or Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 You can kiss Shockley goodbye, they'll use Redman, Harrington, and a drafted QB this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfried Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Who knew -- ok, maybe some of you. But from the AJC.com headline ...Falcons re-sign QB who started final four games and passed for 1,079 yards with 10 TDs.So, in a perfect world, Redman would have passed for over 4,000 yards and 40 TDs. Ok, I know it's very hypothetical. But those are pretty nice stats for 4 games. If we had a working running game (which we did the last two), we might of won all 3 of games -- although, I'm glad we didn't for the draft purpose.

Do we have to keep him? Does his 2 year deal handcuff us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Kwartler Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Happy to hear we re-signed Redman. With a real running threat -- Turner -- and an improved O-line -- he should be quite a serviceable QB while we train up our young QB draft pick. I would hope Harrington gets the axe over shockley -- but neither of them seem important to this franchise any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you educate us?what an a$$. I know we didn't pay him the full amount but he was signed to a two year deal at 2.35 MM per year + a roster bonus if he was still with us on March 1.

phocis850 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Decent contract for someone that has the ability to prove himself.If he doesn't do well, then we aren't losing much.Look at what we were paying Schaub, and he played LESS games.
