Jets, Cowboys among many teams in sticky cap quandaries - NFL - CBSSports.com News, Rumors, Scores, Stats, Fantasy (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/21676714/jets-cowboys-among-many-teams-in-sticky-cap-quandaries)
according to that list, 16 teams (plus us with penalty) are at or over 120M. There will be a lot of restructuring and surprise cuts, the question is who will take advantage of it. This is where the NFLPA hurt themselves by agreeing to our penalty. It's pretty much a guarantee we would use the opportunity to sign several players, probably to nice contracts, certainly market level contracts, as opposed to the Cincinatti, Indianapolis, Cleveland's of the NFL. Granted it's not a lot, and they were going for the throat, but we would have easily used that cap space on some of the guys who the stale cap will have hurt.
a lot of teams in much worse shape than the Skins that's for sure

After looking at this, I think we got a huge advantage in the uncapped year. And Dan saved 36 million dollars. We still dont look that bad. Look at those cheap bastard Bengals.

Mike Max Says Vikings Will Try To Trade Percy Harvin « CBS Minnesota (http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2013/02/09/max-says-vikings-may-try-to-trade-percy-harvin/)
Not sure how valid this is, but wouldn't this be interesting...
I think this organization is finally past making these types of silly moves. I'd pass on Harvin all together.

Cobb wasnt a diamond in the rough, thats utter nonsense. He wasnt a project. He was best player available on Green Bay's board. "Best player available crowd" cant bitch when it happens.
Are you asking if there was Defense player or Oline pick in the 3rd round or beyond in the 2011 that would have produced a Superbowl victory by now?
Redraft the 2011 class, Randal Cobb is picked in the top 10 easily.
Cobb is just an example of cant miss weapon. Is there one this year? I dont know.
I wasnt calling cobb a diamond in the rough. I was making an educated (or uneducated -lol) guess that if the skins go after a wr in the draft it will be in the later rounds, hence diamond in the rough. I was not referring to Cobb in the first part of my post but rather just a wr in general. As far as Cobb i never said he wasnt worthy of a top ten pick, (although i agree with Quake that he probably wouldnt be if it was done again) just that i think they would be better served with an upgrade at the oline or on defense because of their current high powered offense - which was high powered long before cobb got there. Im not sure there is somebody in that draft that fits the bill? Again i was just trying to make the point that there were other areas of need besides wr not so much an opinion about Cobb. Im more of a believer in drafting for need than best player available, unless of course it is a complete and utter no brainer, but than its always "why is that guy still on the board"? So....

Maybe we should trade for Percy Harvin, sign Mike Wallace, and sign Wes Welker, so the ghost of Vinny Cerrato can be at peace.

There would be no way the Skins could trade for Revis then... you seem to forget that piece.
I'm not against drafting a WR in the later rounds but that's about as far as I'd go as far as addressing the WR spot this year. Garcon, Morgan, Moss, Hankerson, Robinson, etc. Could do a lot worse than that.
