Schneed10 12-02-2005, 12:41 PM Trade Arrington before June 1, his salary cap figure for 2006 would go up $800,000 from where it is now. Trade him after June 1, and you'll get a cap savings of $6 million + in 2006, but you'll carry a LOT of dead money in 2007.
I don't think it makes the most sense in the world to get rid of him yet, even if you do it post-June 1. Unless we had a crystal ball and could tell what will happen with the CBA over the next few years.
I'm quoting myself, that's funny.
Just wanted to add that the cap figures I presented above represent what would happen if we traded Arrington based on how his contract stands today.
But he's due a $6 million roster bonus in 2006, which the Skins will surely renegotiate into a signing bonus. Any comparisons, to be fair and accurate, should be done to cap expectations after the renegotiation. And in that case, we'd take a sizeable cap hit.
onlydarksets 12-02-2005, 12:52 PM We need one more, Springs and Harris are starting to get old. Harris in particular can not be counted on to start anymore, so if we have an injury to Carlos or Springs we would be screwed. When a defense can succesfully play man to man on the corners, it makes the rest of the Defense SOOO much better. QB's would fear our blitz, with Lavar, Washington, Sean Taylor and company taking turns blitzing we would be awesome. The our pass rushing problems would be gone.
Good points! I like that - "Fear our Blitz"! Can I change my screenname to "FearMyBlitz"?
diehardskin2982 12-02-2005, 12:53 PM I don't like giving up one position for the sake of another position

I think this qualifies as talking to yourself...

offiss 12-02-2005, 01:46 PM I will be pissed if we get rid of him b/c he is the face of this team! That's the problem with the NFL today, you can't keep anyone on a team for any length of time. The truth be told, we probably will end up getting rid of him and we will be lucky to get a 2nd round pick for him. I hope like hell that we keep him, but I'm starting to doubt that we will.
If Arrington is the face of this team it must be halloween because our record is horrible the last year and a half.
I say trade him and absorb his cap hit now, we can pick up an undrafted rookie to replace him, C.Clemons is basically doing that now.
dmek25 12-02-2005, 02:05 PM no way we trade him.this league is all about playmaking,and lavar certainly has the ability to make plays.im not for sacrificing one position to upgrade another.i think we can upgrade our d line both thru the draft and via free agencyas far as the salary cap,i agree with the nba and the larry bird rule.being able to keep players together and having them count a max amount.it restricts movement alittle but can keep players like lavar with their orginal teams for their whole careers

Is that what the NBA does? I hate the NBA so I had no idea that there even was a "Larry Bird Rule". If that's what they do then the NFL definitely needs to think about that in the CBA.
EternalEnigma21 12-02-2005, 04:34 PM I don't think that getting 1 premier lineman, and making our Linebacking unit weaker really gets us anywhere. If you take away a double team on lavar (which last week freed marshall and washington up to make some nice plays) and gain at a position which is less versatile, I think you actually take a step back.
Our offense needs more revamping than our D. Even if Brunell regains his form from earlier this year, he won't be playing for us several years down the road. We need a complimentary reciever, another tight end/h back, and our O line needs some help.
FRPLG 12-02-2005, 05:43 PM It is not possible with taking a major cap hit again like with Coles. That was a one time deal and shouldn't become the status quo.
