[QUOTE=Twilbert07]If true, yes, this is spinning a little out of control. Where are all the dollars coming from? Are we going to release some more players?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Beemnseven]It just means that in the next couple of years, guys whose contracts are up will not be able to be retained. You know, the Fred Smoots, Antonio Pierces ... Snyder can certainly bring 'em in. It's keeping them that's the problem.

Still, I think the signings we've seen are smart for the most part, and the front office is making the upgrades that this team desperately needed. My only problem with the moves we've made so far are losing the 3rd and 4th rounders for Brandon Lloyd.[/QUOTE]


relax.. let's win some games first... the cap is going to continue to rise very year. we will be fine

Re: Redskins About to Sign Carter
 

[QUOTE=Sociofan]Hold the wagons guys. Carter came and went last night (the 12th) without signing. I think the writer was just "pre-supposing" that Carter would sign the deal. Wait until he is smiling for the cameras at Redskin Park.[/QUOTE]

I was thinking the same thing but he also says it would make it the second defensive signing. Which I assume means after Archuleta and he didn't sign until this morning right?

No, no. Like I said, I think we're doing the things we have to do. And yes, it seems that "cap hell" is never able to creep up on us.

That's fine and dandy with me.

[QUOTE=mooby]how do we have all this cap room to keep signing everyone to 6 year 30 mil deals? i read the article about how we could get 19 mil under the cap, but i haven't heard anything about anyone renogotiating or any other way to help us get a lot of cap space.[/QUOTE]

we started out about 15 mil under after all the wheeling... as of yesrterday we still had about 6 or 6 mil left from what i read.. we are fine and cerrato said we are about done.. there you go

Re: Redskins About to Sign Carter
 

You all know How Danny does things....A boat load of up front money to make each deal Good for Him and the player to not Kill us in the cap and small per year salaries. He is a Genious and Vinny sure pulled his Nuts out of the fire with that CBA I think he went from Most wanted to Most Loved in a Night LOL Anyway Go Skins!

I heard that a deal was in place but Carter said that meeting with Denver was something he "had to do".

Re: Redskins About to Sign Carter
 

:biggthump

I'm smilin like a Cheshire Cat after this news. I was telling my brother all day I would be really happy if we could sign him or Abraham. This is the signing I was hoping for the whole time. Finally, after about a decade we have a legit pass rusher again! And he's young and locked up...money!

Re: Redskins About to Sign Carter
 

every year we don't have enough money and every year we sign people and every year people wonder how we do it but...

it happens every year without problem or fail as far as i can see. i can't remember who's the cap expert on the board but maybe some of those deals are just made to look bigger than they are...

i doubt we'll be in any kind of trouble especially since the cap does raise every year. be glad danny will cash out...
