Chris Chester leaves Ravens for Redskins’ five-year, $20 million offer

Former Ravens guard Chris Chester is heading to the Redskins.

Chester has agreed to a five-year, $20 million contract — an extremely good deal considering that Chester wasn’t even projected as a starter if he had re-signed with the Ravens, Jamison Hensley of the Baltimore Sun reports.

“It came down to the situation today, entertaining offers from multiple teams and we made the best decision,” Chester’s agent, Craig Domann, said.

It seems hard to imagine that any of the offers were nearly as good as the one from the Redskins.

I was gonna say in the other thread. Chris Chester isn't very good. I wonder if Shanahan still believes Alex Gibbs is coaching his line.

Did they litteraly HAVE to spend an X number of dollars to hit what SC floor? We'll be an expansion team by the end of training camp.

They have to spend 90% of their cap. This is the bad thing about having alot of cap space---who would have thought it? Because as a result, you end up overpaying for players like this.
