Yes. The sound of the gun shooting outside the aircraft is “ BRRRT”. For the bad guys
that means they have 1-3 second left. Mostly though they just ran away - which is, you know, kind of frustrating!
Thank you for the kind words.
Now its up to the new guys, who have this amazing, cosmic shitte on the A-10C that I would have traded a non-removable and non-replaceable body part to try or use. It was frustrating using the same old gear, we were under-funded, analog, crap stuff. On one of my last flights I dropped a 1000 lb., laser-guided bomb from 8000’ altitude on a little card table and hit it!! They were just giving me a taste of the new bombs.
Before that we had to do bombing with cheap DUMB bombs - hi angle, dive bomb with a constantly computing impact point - CCIP. Since dive bombing isn’t that accurate we needed to practiced dive bombing all the time. Six practice bomb passes for 1,000 flights or even 2,000 flights and you pull 4-6 g’ per pass. If you’re a 150 lb man that means you put 600 to 900 lbs of force on your spine 6-10 times a flight. Many American fighter pilots who retired out of the service now have bad spinal problems. I’m one of them. Two of my vertebrae are fused together and I’m in a lot of pain!!-

Original post was just updated to reflect that Trent is expected to be traded, freeing $12.5M in cap space if it happens.
Same cap space would be created if he were released, though not a likely scenario.

When I first read this my eyes redacted "expected to be".

IMO, the ideal time to trade Trent would be prior to the opening of FA. It would be beneficial to know that we have an additional $12.5M in cap space for FA.

I think for the same reason the teams trying to trade want to know whether they need to be in on a FA tackle or not, so I would think it happens before FA starts or around the draft

I just wish the Redskin’s would really clean house and TRADE MOSES. He had a terrible 2019 season and we might get a PB & J sandwich for him - but more importantly we could use his cap money for a FA replacement and draft for OT and perhaps see if Martin can take that spot. He’s on my poop list.

Martin is a guard, not going to take over Moses' spot and produce even close to the same result.

Yup, you’re right. The Trent Williams problem may take awhile to resolve a decent trade, PLUS then finding a replacement which may involve a number of avenues. I agree that Martin is probably not good enough for RT although I’d like to see him there in the preseason to try. The other channels to fill LT will be hiring an OT FA (low cost), then drafting at least one OT in the draft, plus more in UDFA. The idea is to see if one rookie can start or be a close backup to the FA we sign and maybe start later in the season.
Likely they’ll give Moses this season to improve or be drafting for more OT in next year’s draft to replace him. They’ll also drop Christian this PS as he is obviously NOT the solution to replace Trent, Moses or even be a viable backup.

The original post was updated to reflect the Redskins tagging Brandon Scerff with the non exclusive franchise tag, meaning he carries a cap hit of $16.1M (I previously had it counting as $14.5M which I think I got from last year’s numbers, so this update lowered the expected remaining cap room by $1.6M.)
They still have a good chunk of space available going into FA and they can create more by locking Scherff up to a long term deal which would lower his tag number.
