Hard Decisions: The solution to the $18MM offseason puzzle

I wasnt criticizing directly you and i agree he played better down the stretch.

I certainly feel we are better off without him next year. If we cut 7.5 mil, I guarentee we can bring someone in next year at his spot for 3.5 mil and that player will perform better.

The conerback position is deep in FA and the draft. Id say with address it with both. Poyer and Toler would be a good start.

Didn't take it as such..... At the end of the day I want BA to bolster the O line at all cost, and hope we find some hidden gems in draft. Just dont see alot of possibilities in FA this year for us with our current cap. Every year second/third year players who did not contribute much their first year have a coming out party. Let us hope we have a few defensive backs that do that this year.

@Rich_TandlerCSN: The #Redskins will be able to clear about $20 million in cap space with 6 restructures, and 1 pay cut. Post coming soon.

Damn good news. I was thinking that this is one way to somewhat circumvent the cap penalty, but was a perceived negative in ways the redskins did things in the past - pushing cap money to later years by converting salaries to guaranteed money up front. The biggest risk is the player(s) being cut early in the contract and increasing the redskins dead cap money.

I wonder who was the first cut - Hall or Moss? ... or maybe someone else?

Hall is probably the pay cut.

That is standard practice by every team that it willing to spend the full cap. The penalty wasnt for moving cap money back by giving guaranteed money. It was for pulling money forward into an uncapped year.

Not saying that this is why they were penalized. This is what they're doing now with the restructure.

Hall is probably the pay cut.

Yea ... I'd have to agree. I'm reading that J Wilson is a prime candidate for an extension to help out with the cap figure

Woah Kemosabi!

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I'm pretty sure Rich Tandler is saying that the Redskins "could" save money in these ways that he is ''suggesting''. I don't read this as this is going to happen.

again maybe I'm wrong.
