Is no news good news?

Those crickets you have been hearing from this blog? Yeah, those are the same ones you can hear over at the hangar for Redskins One. I haven't written a whole lot around here lately simply because there isn't much to talk about. There are no free agents coming through the normally revolving door at Redskins Park and there aren't even any good rumors of anyone bound for D.C.

So as long as things are quiet I will come by to dust every so often but once things start rolling again, you can bet this blog will be humming.

Collins returns

In a sign of some continuity, the Skins have finally re-signed backup QB Todd Collins. I think this is a good move, especially since Collins got us to the playoffs after starter Jason Campbell went down with an injury.

I do actually have one small problem with this whole scenario however. As we are trying to get away from our free spending ways - i.e. no more big, long contracts that we continue to pay years after guys leave the league - I am puzzled by the contract Collins received.

Now I think Collins should be rewarded for what he did last season however, how smart is it to sign a guy turning 35 in May to a 3 year contract? Vinny Cerrato said at the bottom of the story that they are waiting for the market to come back down before they make any other signings but was the market for Collins really 3 years, $9 million?

Baby steps I guess ... but welcome back Todd. Great to have you sticking around.
