CC/Schneed -- Another cap trigger similar to the one that pushed the cap up three million additional dollars went into effect this week, and pushed the cap up another million, according to Andrew Brandt of NFP.

So I'm guessing the Redskins saw that extra million dollars of cap space, looked at Jansen's contract, shrugged, and said "now's a good a time as any."

Will now turn over the floor to people who will argue that losing our only game hardened RT will actually improve our line.

Wow! I didn't think "Look-in-my-eyz" could think that far ahead! I might be wrong about him yet!

Regardless of his current state, it is a sad day. Jansen has always been one of my favorites. Good luck John and thanks for being a stand up Redskin! Gon miss ya!

The exact hit, per the cap sheets, is $2.7 million. 37% of that hit was covered by the recent cap increase, so this was clearly an opportunity driven move, much like Haynesworth was.

Jansen was one tough SOB. The changing of the guard has definitely started. I would be very interested to see what our roster looks like 2 years from now.

Jansen is very very very lucky to have collected such a huge paycheck last year.
He had a great run. He's filthy rich. Doubt he ever plays another down in the NFL.
The only people who think he can still play have the last name Jansen.

Great Redskin player and great in the community. Hope he lands in a good situation, but it was time. I will be eager to see how our guys handle the RT position this year. Hopefully someone steps up.

Sad day, but if it makes sense financially I think everyone agrees that he's way below what he used to be.

Jon Jansen deserves a lot of credit & praise from us. At a time when the franchise tried every win big quick scheme JJ not only did his job, he did it well, played in pain & on top of that, was a leader & spokesperson.

Honestly, I didn't understand how he "Won" his starting job back last year. The Starter "Heyer" beat him out in training camp, got hurt, and went to the bench the remainder of the season? That whole situation didn't make sense to me. And don't preach that crap to me about how it may have negatively affected the running game. That's a bunch of crap. I appreciated Jansen in his early years, but this was way overdue.

Good Riddance

This sure opens a whole lot of questions to me:

First has to be the cap. Wasn't he like a 2.8 million dollar hit? I know he had a 6million dollar release fee.

Second, I really thought they were trying him at C/G, so now who backs up Rabach?

Third, What the h*** is going on with the line!?!
