Cap Implications of Josh Norman

Andre Roberts once healthy is probably the only move really needed.

But That Guy, Norman's cap hit in this first year is only $8M and he's got a $75M deal. If we want to keep Cousins, Reed, both WRs, Galette, and Baker, it is very doable. I was conservative in my estimates. I mean my assumptions here have Reed being franchised, which is as conservative as it gets. If they sign him to a long term deal the cap hit may only be $6M instead of $10M.

We're good.

there is no chance they keep both WRs in 2017.

We are good IF the team hits on their picks, builds the other areas through the draft and gets our guys signed before they can test the market. I like the signing but even by Schneed's numbers it is going to keep us out of big time FA plays next year. (That isn't necessarily a bad thing)

None of this matters anyways if we don't draft well so no use in worrying about it too much at this point.

I would agree fully. But they could if they wanted. I'd rather keep one and go younger at the other spot. I think McCloughan would probably agree.

Exactly. If we whiff in the draft we will suck no matter what.

Nice job Schneed...I think you're assumptions are definitely conservative, which gives even more validity to the fact that we have True football people running the organization. They have even more wiggle room than you factored in.

Yes Norman was a little pricey, compared to others on the roster.
But, The BEST of anything is expensive....that's the way supply & demand works.

We have one of the BEST CB's now and yes we agreed to pay for it. But, I think Schneed makes it perfectly clear....and this is the key point...we did not over extend to add him.

Sleep well Redskin fans, sleep well...we're in great shape!

I guess the sum of it is we must really have wanted him, and we paid full retail for him.

I don't think we over paid for him, but I have my reservations. If Scot led the way on this instead of you know who I'm fine with it though. Plus if the rumors of built in exit strategies are true I don't see any reason not to like it.

The key is the signing bonus is very low, only $15M. It's really not much more complicated than that - if you've got a low signing bonus then there's less dead money when you release a guy. They can get away before he's too old, if they wish.

Stop it! Just stop it right now, all you Nervous Nellies!

Dan Snyder is not making the calls on which FA's we go after. We know who can play and who can't. We know who fits our system and who doesn't. We no longer sign turds. We no longer write bad contracts that don't have exit clauses. We know how to manage the cap.

Vinny is not hiding in a closet at Redskins Park ready to jump out at any moment and convince Dan Snyder to do something stupid. There is no Bogey Man. You can relax now and sleep blissfully.

I am with KI.

It's not to say McCloughan won't whiff on a move, but the point is he will whiff on fewer than most.

As much as I love the Norman signing, and I do, we all know our fate is heavily tied to the career path of a different player... Cousins. It really is all about him this year, is he for real, is he the leader for the next 10 years, is he capable of taking us deep in the playoffs with clutch play in the biggest moments.

McCloughan will continue to build around Cousins and this Norman signing does just that. But we live and die on the arm of Captain Kirk. I wouldn't have it any other way, it feels like a great time to be a fan.
