Re: Core group to be competitive-Worst case
 

[QUOTE=Paintrain]With the CBA mess going on and the rumors that we may have as many as 20 rookies on the roster to get under the cap (which seems absolutely ridiculous to me), who are the players that we HAVE to keep around in order to at least compete in '06? My list (without doing cap calculations, someone smarter than me can tell me if it works) is:
QB-Brunell, Campbell
RB-Portis, Nemo
FB/HB-Cooley, Sellers
TE-?
LT-Samuels
LG-Wilson
C-Rabach
RG-Thomas
RT-Jansen
WR-Moss, Patten
P-Frost
K-?
DE-Daniels
DT-Griffin
DT-Saleva'a
DE-Evans
LB-Clemons
LB-Marshall
LB-Washington
CB-Springs
FS-Taylor
SS-Stoutmire
CB-Rogers
PR/KR-Brown

That's 25 players and with a 45 man roster that assumes the rest would be rookies.. That leaves us with NO veteran depth.. Additions/subtractions/other options?[/QUOTE]

Is cutting Burnell a better thing for the cap and keeping Ramsey? If so it seems like a better idea so maybe we could keep others!

[QUOTE=Schneed10]Yep. We're going to lose at least a couple very valuable Redskins in the next few days. Prepare yourselves to shed some tears.[/QUOTE]

some? we're going to lose all but 13, and even then there's not enough sasvings to be under the cap.

That's assuming NOBODY restructures.

sixteenth time, no, cutting brunell costs 300k more than keeping him and keeping ramsey costs almost 1.7mill more than dumping him. if we got a new CBA then it'd be flipped. but right now we don't, so that's nto an option.

Can't cut Brunell. It would cost us more to cut him than to keep him. Have to let Ramsey go.

Re: Core group to be competitive-Worst case
 

[QUOTE=Huddle]It would probably be a mistake to try to be competitive.

I think you'd have to look at it as sacrificing the 2006 season and lop off top-salaried vets who are on the downside of their careers: Brunell, Samuels, Springs, Daniels...keep as much young talent as possible.[/QUOTE]

hate to say it but I think you are right! Keep the young talent and we will have to let go the older players! Worest case is here so deal with it!

But we should cut Brunell right?

Thanks so he[Burnell] is sitting pretty!!! Well lets say that this happens and all these players have to be cut. Wouldn't you say the best way to look at this is not what we can get out of the 06 season but what will be left to rebuild in 07. So keep young talent and pass on guys that will be too old! So looking at the bottom line is not the only thing to look at!

Re: Core group to be competitive-Worst case
 

we won't have a choice, we'll have to let just about everyone go.

springs, griffin, lavar will be forced to stay due to their contracts.

I'm sure it was part of Lord Gibbs evil master plan to rid the Redskins of Ramsey by structuring the deal that way since he knew the CBA wouldn't be extended.. (insert maniacal laughter and a Monty Burns-esque 'Excellent' here)
