This is the only good thing about being a fan of the Redskins. If he's not a Redskin after free agency, it'll be because money isn't at the top of his list. There's a good chance he's not a Redskin next year

Looking at this from another angle, suppose his contract wasn't voided.
Is Nnamdi worth the $17 or so million he would have been paid for one year of football?

Unless you're guaranteed that the receivers this cornerback is covering will have less than five catches combined the entire season, no corner is worth $17 million. I could see a quarterback or a tailback worth that much, but not a position that doesn't generate points and could be replaced with two guys in coverage making $850K. MAYBE I could see a Troy Polamalu or Ray Lewis deserving that figure, because they're special players who go by instinct to impact every play.
To me that's like seeing starting pitchers being payed more than $14-15 million (not really the same, but there's an abstract connection). You're only getting them every 5th day, and if you're the Mariners with Felix Hernandez there's not even a guarantee you're going to win the game. Defense wins championships, but only if the offense is able to score points.

It definitely is a weird trend to see salaries going up. I have a feeling with this latest labor negotiation that we will see salaries come back down to earth a bit. Sort of like what happened in the NHL a little while ago.

I'm not sure he ends up in Washington. He's a good player and worth every cent that he earns, but I'm not sure he gets a huge paycheck from Mr. Snyder. Shanny is going to be smart with the bosses money.
Nnamdi should go to the Pats or Colts. Play for a team that can win games. Maybe get a taste of playoff football once or twice in his career?
