Fact is the Redskins are well ($5+ Million I beleive) below the cap and could have matched Pierce's contract, can pay Smoot what he's asking for and can still absorb the hit for dealing Coles but they are making the choice not to throw max dollars around.. It's like damned if you do damned if you don't.. It will just make it sweeter when the Skins are playing in late January one of these years!  |
I agree with you, Snyder is the new George Steinbrenner/ Jerry Jones of the recent NFL, they love to hate him.
However, correct me if I am wrong Crazycanuck, but the Redskins do not have enough cap room to have signed both Pierce and Smoot and traded Coles. I thought Coles will be an immeadiate $5M (or something crazy like that) if we trade him or cut him.
