Chargers released CB Derek Cox.
Cox inked a four-year, $20 million contract on the second day of free agency last year and received $10.25 million guaranteed for one season of utterly mediocre play. The Chargers save $4.25 million in cash but are eating $3.9 million in dead money against the cap. The move clears just $1.65 million in cap space. Cox was benched multiple times last season. He was deemed expendable for a team that really needs corner help. Cox is still just 27 years old.
This is a guy getting talk last year as a CB we were interested in...
Good post. To me there is an argument here for keeping Rak as we have. We know what we are getting in Rak. Beware the unfamiliar FA who may not be the guy you thought he was.

Once some guys get paid its over...they just stop going hard.

So ... if it became an actual choice (since Mack was tagged with a transition tag not a franchise tag):
Mack at 10M/year or Byrd at 12M/year
or neither at the apparent asking price.
BTW - TJ Ward is also a UFA .

Per the redskins facebook page: "The Washington Redskins have waived RB Jawan Jamison and RB Davin Megget. They have also terminated the following vested veterans: TE Richard Quinn, P Sav Rocca and DE Adam Carriker."

Sounds like someone we should avoid at all costs. He should be in his prime right now, instead it sounds like he'll be struggling for a job until someone gets injured.

Alex Mack off the market, $10 million transition tag.
Pricey Center.
And worth every penny

Must be a Stanford man.
$10M for a center seems pretty ridiculous.
Why don't they have separate tags for each line position?

mack really is that good. he's like hutchinson, always blocking at the 2nd level on runs etc.
i wouldn't rule him out, but i would say it's pretty unlikely. however, i rather have mack and a 2nd tier safety than byrd and nothing on the OL. mitchell, ward, whitner won't want as much as byrd and could still be big upgrades.
