How much trouble COULD we be in?

As I have said over and over again, Snyder has been signing these currrent contracts with the uncapped year in mind. The Redskins will be the one team that is in great position if there is no cap. WATCH.

uncapped would suck, it would turn into baseball and rich teams would just buy all the plaers. i understand we are the richest team, but just would make the league so unexciting

The NFL did not have a lack of excitement before the cap (1995). Although you were 9 years old in 1995 so you might not know this, no disrespect intended.
The level of play of the elite teams in the NFL went down drasticly when the cap first came in. Teams like the Redskins, 49ers and Cowboys were screwed by the cap. The weakest teams got better because it set a minimum they had to spend. But the level of play of the top teams went down considerably.
While I do not like it when Snyder goes out and buys a ton of players, I do not like the cap. It forces teams to cut veteran players they want to keep. Could imagine in the 80's if we had to cut Riggo, Russ Grimm or Art Monk because of salary cap. I don't like it. Keep the cap but it should not count when resigning older veterans.

Snyder will purchase the NFL for 40 billion dollars and announce the Redskins must win SB every year or teams will get fired!!!!....Why is this a discussion at this point?....TOO many senerios possible.

I calculate that without a new CBA, we'd be able to get our cap number down to about $98.5M. With the expected number to be $95M, we'd still have to shave off a few million. This would mean cutting a couple core players and would prevent us from signing any free agents or extensions for our current players. So I think we could survive without a new CBA but it might not be pretty.

I'm figuring pretty similar numbers. Ramifications would be:

- We'd be forced to live with Lavar, whether GW wants to or not.
- We'd surely lose Ryan Clark and Robert Royal to free agency.
- The $98 million means we have to cut $3 million just to get under cap. But we'd still have to get down low enough to sign our draft picks.

I think we're already sure to jettison Ramsey, Noble, Bowen, and Raymer.
If this CBA doomsday scenario came to fruition, I think you can say goodbye to John Hall as well. Thrash and Sellers become cut possibilities as well.

Depends on when CBA is reached for Lavar.....B4 his bonus deadline(I think its June 20th or so) we will keep him and spread it over next couple years. If not, better to release him. All that you mentioned are gone anyway i think. We will do fine in either case. Just add Harris to that list as well.
