Is he getting the 7 Year, 35 Million with a 10 Million $ signing bonus, per usual? ;)

Cool. One less roster spot to worry about.

Hopefully, he continues his progress and becomes the next Barker.

does that mean he gets a wicked broken nose while holding as well ?? JK

[danny's stogie]

Keepin' their own.

Decent resign. I still would like competition for him in camp but if he is consistent in the pre-season I will be happy.

[LATrueRedskin]

He played well during the final stretch of the season. Hopefully he'll continue that good play FOREVER!

I don't think competition for Frost is important. Frost is all the Skins would need. He is an adequate punter and a good holder. In a pinch, he can kickoff and try a field goal.

Having said that, the team should probably bring in a second punter so that DF wouldn't burn his leg out in training camp.

[skinsfan36]

decent and expected resigning but i still want competition in camp for him as others mentioned

[gibbsisgod]

I take back all of those things that i said about him during the pats pre-season game. During the reg season he saved us with some really good punts. I hope this season is another one to build on.

[skins67]

I hope if he does well the first three quarters of the year we sing him to atleast a three or four year extension insted of allowing him to prove himself and move on to another team. We need some consistancy out of him but, he's got one boomer of a leg.

I'm sure the first words out of his mouth when his agent told him of this were "Shanks alot"....

[shally]

any word on the numbers or length yet ??

[skinfan43]

any word on the numbers or length yet ??
3 years, 6.2 million, 2.1 million SB...

[helimech24]

:lol1:I'm surpised that you were a bit late on that one, lol.

[helimech24]

3 years, 6.2 million, 2.1 million SB...That is actually not that bad of a deal.

[Red Bear]

whats the source of those numbers? were paying a punter over 2 million a year?

[rskinsfan10]

That is actually not that bad of a deal.Sorry, I have to disagree if those numbers are correct.

[skinfan43]

whats the source of those numbers
Happy late April 1st, Red Bear;)
Helimech kinda ruined it when he said it wasn't that bad of a deal...LOL!
2 million per for a punter, let alone Frost? Jeez, I thought I'd have everyone screaming what the ----!? LOL!

well i did question the price. as 2 million a season would be expensive for a punter. im willing to bet he just signed his tender offer, which is what, just under 900K?

Yeah, close to that...I'd guess it's a one year deal, to see if he's for real before resigning him to a multi-year in '08.

[rskinsfan10]

Jeez, I thought I'd have everyone screaming what the ----!? LOL!I for one was warming up my vocal cords.:)

[smoak]

I'm very happy about this as I think Frost made as much if not more progress than any player wearing the burgundy and gold. He'll still shank the occasional kick, but that is a lot better than hitting the occasional good punt. :D

[Skinz4lyfe]

Good resigning. If we keep Frost to focus solely on punting, he should continue to improve. I like what he did after we signed Suisham to handle kickoffs.

They give out millions like they are nothing. Nothing would surprise me about the money these players get on our team.

[helimech24]

I for one was warming up my vocal cords.:)Would it really be surprising?

[bgforever]

Ole Derrick and our FG kicker ("Squeezam') like to hit too! I hope these guys really turn on the lights this year.

[rskinsfan10]

Would it really be surprising?No, but this would have been the straw that broke the camel's back for me personally.

[CNYSkinFan]

CNY, you can't give anyone a break. He did a really good job last year, and deserves to be resigned.
I SAID decent resign...jeebus. Anyways competition in the kicking game is important for two reasons:

1.) Frost seems to kick better when his job is on the line.

2.) Injuries happen in the NFL and you need a guy who is only a phone call away.

[ChiefPowhatan17]

Jack Frost is back, but I still think David Lonie beat him out last preseason, and what happened to the kid Andy Groom? He could boot it 60 yards consistently. We should pick up Nic Schmidt in the draft. I always like a punter who is 265 lbs.
