Re: Sean Taylor Cap Ramifications
Sorry - I did not mean to disrepect Taylor, his family, the team and any Redskin fans. I actually regretted posting this right after I submitted it.
Rest in Peace Sean Taylor and my condolences to his family, Redskins players/coaches/team and fans across the world. |

Re: Sean Taylor Cap Ramifications
I don't think this thread is inappropriate. The players have to somehow figure out how to play this weekend, so it's not off base to mention this. There has to be some clause somewhere that grants relief for this kind of situation.

Re: Sean Taylor Cap Ramifications
I don't think anyone is disrespecting Bill B, just not sure this is the proper time. Anyway, I think we've all had this thought or a variant of it cross our minds, immediately followed by 2 minutes of cursing at ourselves for being so shallow.

Re: Sean Taylor Cap Ramifications
People deal with things differently. I don't see this as inappropriate, but as a distraction from what is truly a tragedy. And while some may think it's inappropriate, unfortunately there are several members of the Redskins franchise who had to deal with this scenario before this thread was ever started...

Re: Sean Taylor Cap Ramifications
I don't think people should feel bad for wondering this. It's somewhat natural. For me, something like this helps me not to focus directly on the death.
Blah, I can't even think and write today. Im trying to say something but Im sure I'd butcher it and it would be horribly misconstrued.

Re: Sean Taylor Cap Ramifications
Also, in my opinion I thought Taylor was not only our best defensive player but our best player on the team period. I think it will be one of those moments that we will not be able to replace him period - he is one of those one in a generation type of players that is not really replaceable.
Hopefully Sean is in a better place and they find the person(s) who did this and bring them to justice. |

Re: Sean Taylor Cap Ramifications
Unfortunately, it is treated by the NFL as any career ending injury. As horrible as it sounds, officially he will be put on the PUP list for the rest of this year.

Re: Sean Taylor Cap Ramifications
I believe the league's policy would be to treat the next year as though he had been released. That would mean a $+ million cap hit in 2008, unless the league granted some relief, or monies were repaid. I can't imagine the team would go after money from Taylor's fiancee and 18 month old daughter, so I'll just feel dirty for typing this.

Re: Sean Taylor Cap Ramifications
I was worried that someone might start a thread like this today. Come on, people -- we're classier than this. The man had an 18th month old little girl and was going to be married. At the moment, I don't give a flying fuck about the cap ramifications, roster spots, or any of that shit. Portis and Gibbs said it well yesterday -- this is not about the game but a man's life. I vote to lock this down at least until there's been a memorial service for Sean.
