He shoots! He scores!!!

Let the dominoes fall!!!

In the Skins' favor, of course

So, you want us to sign Dominic Rhodes?

Broncos cut a bunch of people today.

Reggie Hayward may also be a cap casualty (Jaguars)

I don't know if they classify really as cap casualties, or just roster casualties

He does good in stopping the run. And he bats down alot of balls at the line scrimmage. He's serviceable and solid, but not great. I like to see him stay for depth.

Daniels is all we got, we can't start wilson on opeining day, and we sure can't start the 7th rounder. Unless we trade for someone, or some miracle happens like Jason Taylor getting cut, I can't see anyone else starting at DE other than Carter and Daniels

No, but I was slightly gloating. Rubbing it in that the day I create a thread to predict cuts and roster moves, it happens very evening.

Rhodes is good, but we are cool without him. Plus, he smokes herb and gets caught. Either way, thats not a good look.

Now I have to do the same for your posts? Sigh...

Sorry, oh great long suffering one. Your job is hard enough. I'll stop with the sarcasm and just go back to being simply brilliant - oops, there I go again.

We shot ourselves in the foot by designating Lloyd a June 1st cut, that's 5.3 mil we dont have on next years salary cap that we could have paid this year.

I was wondering the same thing. Schneed, Crazy is it possible to simply absorb the hit fully now? It seems to me that, since the savings wouldn't go into effect until June 1st and since Lloyd is actually off the roster, we should be able to simply notify the league that we will take the full hit now. I could see the league saying "no" if it were after the 1st as the bookkeeping would have already been in effect. But in this case, by redesignating it as a pre-June 1 cut, the benefit to both the team and player is unchanged.

Also, even if we were able to do so, would we still have enough cap room for the rookies?

Anybody know what type of deals the picks in the Skins slots got last year?

I was about the type the same thing, except substitute 99.9% in for 97%, but I think what he was saying is that given our draft, we now have some players that were vital before that now are expendable- frost for instance (once the kid dominates him...), likely a WR as well...

Well I think there has been further misunderstanding. Sure players will be cut after the draft. And still more leading up to June 1. But any players of consequence? Anybody that could do anything more for us than add a training camp body?

I assumed that if you started a thread about it, you'd want to know if we could acquire anybody to help us. I'd say no.

When GTripp and I said nobody gets cut, we meant the figurative nobody. Nobody gets cut from teams around this time of year anymore, unless they're a nobody.

No you can't go back on it. Once you call him a post June 1 cut, you're committed to it.

But never fear, I do think the Skins will still make good use of that cap space. First, the Post recently ran a blurb saying they further guaranteed the 2008 and 2009 base salaries for Clinton Portis, which will have some sort of impact on the cap. Aside from that, I'd bet a lot of money that the Skins will extend a young player or two now this season in order to make use of that excess space, thereby allocating some of that money this year.

2nd round picks typically make about 1.5 million per season. Ballpark.

I think we should trade Santana Moss for Jared Allen and Antwan Randle El for Kevin Williams. Maybe pick-up Bob Sanders after the June 1 cuts.

Discuss!

[Schneed10]

I'd guess we shed Mathis and either Mix or Thrash. But not around June 1, I think Zorn will take them to camp and make the decision there.

That's the thing with our own players. Zorn's just getting used to them. Hell, he's having them wear nametags at minicamp this weeked. He's going to need time to evaluate them, and since there is no pressure from a cap perspective to make moves now or on June 1, I think he'll take as many guys as he can into training camp and evaluate them as long as possible before making the cuts in August.

The only thing to discuss is that this is not Madden and that we will not be trading so drastically b/c we have a good team already. I really hope you are joking because you do not sound very intelligent.
