The FO was just really smart to keep all our picks for next year...like you said we're gonna need em.
That's like saying I don't beat my kids so I'm a good person. You don't get credit for that. I mean we should have most picks every year. Good teams realize this. Just b/c we have all or most of them once or twice in a six or seven year span doesn't make it smart.
Also, we tried to give away some for Cutler and trade away some for Sanchez.

Well our FO doesn't get any credit by the sports media or the fans when they do something good. So at least this is a start.
Do I wish that our FO would emulate some of the FO of successful teams? Yes. But I am not going to praise other FOs by mindlessly bashing our team's FO.
Last time I check, teams like Oakland and Detroit also have had a lot of their picks, yet they wish they had a record like ours in the past 5 years.

Thanks for the link steveo.
After adding in the rookie pool, I have us at $5.37M of cap space.
CC is that the cap space with the rookie cap subtracted ? So in effect we really have nigh on $9 mill in space ?
What are the possibilities of extending McIntosh and or Rogers?

After Jansen's release and most of the signings (not including draft picks) I have us at $2.071M of cap room.
The draft picks are already accounted for in the cap with the rookie pool, and the remaining signings will likely all be at the league min so they won't affect the cap situation cuz of the rule of 51.

PS - The Skins are up to $17.7M of deadcap for 2009, or 14% of our total cap limit. Feels about right. ;)

LOL. Took the words right out of my mouth. It's what we do. Overpay, restructure, release, repeat. :)

I don't even pay attention to the cap anymore. It's almost useless. For the most part we sign anyone we want and never go into cap hell.

Not to quote my self, but....
We restructure a 30 year old with a new deal that will run until he's into his mid-30's, and I suspect a year or two before said deal is up we'll probably be talking about whether or not we should cut him (especially if Thomas and Kelly come around), he's lost a step, etc etc etc.
Although I guess if we don't have a salary cap moving forward it won't matter.
