Redskins Cuts

If RG3 is healthy all season this year, Cousins will be traded this offseason, no matter what we can get back. Your right if he doesn't get more playing time this year it probably won't be a 1st rounder.Given RG3's injury history, that's doubtful. Besides, we needed Cousins to make the playoffs last season, I don't think we would have beaten Baltimore and Cleveland with Rex or Pat at QB.

If we're going to keep a read option project type QB then we should just go get Vince Young. He's better than Pat White.

That's not how MS/KS see it.

We'll have plenty of cap room to retain Cousins beyond 2014/2015 even with a liberal contract.

True we would but I don't see him staying if he doesn't have a shot as a starter even if its for more money.

Well in that case using a 4th round pick on a late 1st or 2nd round talent, having him win 2 games for us in his rookie season and whatever will happen this year and next, having a guy work hard in the offseason and everyday in practice, and gave the team peace of mind knowing we had a plan B to go if we needed, for a 4th rounders pay, was well worth it.
A backup should never be seen as permanent but rather temporary. It wouldn't be devestating to not be able to trade him, it be nice. Wouldn't we get a compensatory pick anyhow? Is that how it works?

Yeah he wants 2 start, he will use the SB ring he WINS here, to leverage more $$$ elsewhere.

Didn't want to start a thread but good salary cap news

@MarkMaske: Cofield agreed to reduce his salary from $4.05 million to the minimum $840,000, receiving the remaining $3.21 million in bonus money.

Well that's good news in case of an emergency. I can't see it being something they use now and whatever money isn't used rolls into 2014 cap dollars.

Wow. I wouldn't do that if I was Cofield (because who are we getting on our roster that would require about $3 million in cap space, plus I think he already reduced his salary once), but good for him.
