Cerrato

Not unless he has an escape clause in his contract.

My understanding is that we wouldn't automatically get the money back (and taken off the cap). I believe we would have to go to an arbitrator to get the money back. We would have to convince the arbitrator that, under the terms of the contract, we are entitled to get the money back because of Sean's alleged illegal activities. I haven't read Sean's contract (obviously), but I assume there is a provision that allows us to get money back in the event he is convicted of a crime and goes to jail.

I'm not one to go pimping other sites, but really this one of the best interviews with VC I've read.

Cerrato’s responsibilities have deminished because he did such an awful job, but he used to be the salary cap specialist. His theory in San Fran was win now pay later, he does have input he is DS’s right hand man, I believe that his title now is “head of football operations”. Gibbs has come in and rectified some of the problems, but we are still paying the price for Cerratos mistakes. Why do you think Schottenheimer, wanted him out when he came to the skins? Schottenheimer builds his teams from the ground up (which he would have done here given the time) and now has San Diego in great shape to be perrenial winners, we on the other hand, (since he has been here), go out and grab FA’s paying them top dollar and trade away our draft picks, we will never get out of salary cap hell if we continue down this road. And we still would be in trouble if the CBA was signed, every year we are forced to restructure to get under the cap.

the last two years have been fine. brunell's contract was awful, but the other three (wynn, samuels, lavar) weren't gibbs's fault. no one else has gotten a terrible contract (for the team) under his watch. sean taylor is the most underpaid top 5 pick ever (7years 18mill, the average for a 1st rounder is close to 2.8mill a year, and being top, he should make OVER the average, yet he isn't. Its incentive laden to the point that he hass to make the pro bowl to get paid equal to his performance). cooley (who has a 4 year for nearly vet min), and moss (top WRs get 7mill a year, he was #2 and he's not even getting half that). washington and griffin both are playing above contract etc.


once gibbs got here the money well dried up pretty quickly. with a new cba, we wouldn't have been able to break the bank, but the core is/was in place for the longterm.

Vinny's about as effective as Pepper Rodgers was at whatever the hell he was hired to do.

Vinny Cerrato and Taylor Jacobs could both leave and nobody would notice. They do not do much. In the NFL it is all about what have you done for me lately and these two guys are not very productive. Snyder must really like them to keep them around this long.

V.C's title is V.P. of Football Operations. He's here so Snyder has somebody in the owner's box that he can yell at. He bears very llittle responsibility for our current cap situation.

As for Marty building a perennial winner in San Diego, it depends on your defenition of winning. My view is that at the end of each season there is exactly one winner and 31 losers. To me, Marty has always been a loser. If getting bumped from the playoffs in the first round and then missing the playoffs completely is a dynasty in the making, then I guess other people have different ideas about what winning is. I can't relate to anyone that is pining for the good old days of 2001.

Why is Cerato being blamed when they have a specialist dedicated to the cap???

Also, Think of the additional cap problems they would have had if they hadn't bitten the Coles bullet.

Smarten' up!!!

I agree. You guys see how easy it is to control a Synder spending spree. By the way I am VC.

Cerrato likes big butts and he cannot lie.
