From The Sports Junkies

Former Redskins linebacker Antonio Pierce joined “The Sports Junkies” 106.7 The Fan on radio row in Indianapolis, IN and told the behind the scenes story of how he ended up a New York Giant after playing in Washington, D.C.

Pierce claimed that he loved the area and wanted to stay a Redskin but his offer was rejected and “In so many words, Go milk another cow.”

“Honestly I thought I’d be Redskins….As a rookie, I played.  I started.  Every year I was there we fired either a defensive coordinator or head coach…I thought we had a good nucleus of young guys.”

Pierce was offered $2.8 million for five years after the Skins signed Michael Barrow, claiming Snyder tried to lock him up for as little as possible for as long as possible.

Listen to the full story along with Pierce’s full radio row appearance with “The Sports Junkies” below:

    Pierce was just one of a multitude of errors in management/judgment of talent that they have made in recent years. Brandon Lloyd couldn’t get on the field even with that mediocre (except for Moss) receiver corps a few years ago, and was considered one of their greatest free agent busts. Yet the next(?) year after he left he lead the NFL in receptions, was in the Pro Bowl and first team all NFL! Was it Lloyd or the team/coaching? Look at Carlos Rogers, too.
