Schneed10 12-19-2006, 04:50 PM I'd look for the following moves:
Cut: John Hall, Christian Fauria, Mike Rumph (save $3.5 million)
Cut: Adam Archuleta as a Post June 1 move, (save $600K in 2007, absorb a $7 million deadcap hit in 2008)
Forced Paycuts: Mark Brunell and Reynaldo Wynn, if they don't accept, cut them to save $4.8 million in FY 2007 between the two of them)
Restructured Contracts (no pay reduction, just restructure): Jon Jansen, Randy Thomas, Shawn Springs, Cornelius Griffin, Marcus Washington, Clinton Portis, Casey Rabach. This could generate $10-15 million in cap space.
Resign: Derrick Dockery to a long term deal
They'll have the flexibility to keep it all together and make another free agency run, if they want to.

Schneed - wouldn't it be better to cut Brunnel before June 1st so we don't take AA and Brunell dead hits in 2008?

This should be the mantra of our entire team right now.

The problem has never been inside of the locker room. They always say the right thing. The problem is in between the ears and the lines.

It'd be the same as if we cut him in the offseason. If he retires before June 1, we take the dead cap hit in 2007. If he waits until after June 1, we delay most of the hit until 2008.

Cutting Brunell before June 1 would create $2.3 million in cap space in 2007. Cutting him after June 1 would create $3.7 million in cap space in 2007, but we'd have to carry about $2.8 million in deadcap for him in 2008. Since Gibbs still loves him so much, I'm guessing they'll keep him even if they can't get him to take a paycut. But they'll probably try to get him to take the paycut.
As for Archuleta, if we cut him before June 1, he'll count $9 million against our cap. He's scheduled to count $2.5 million in 2007 as it stands now, so going from there to $9 million would represent a $6.5 million jump. I don't think the team would take that approach, it's too limiting in 2007.

Well it looks like the Redskins will once again be the leaders in dead cap space. At least the cap rises to $116 million in 2008 so that will help some.

Great stuff. I agree with all of this.
Citizens for 81 12-20-2006, 03:52 PM I'm worried that Sean Taylor will want to renegotiate his contract.
At least on paper it looks like he doesnt make that much, but I don't know much about any incentives that he might be getting.
I know he's been injured a lot, but David Patten's contract is ridiculous.
