Redskins Expected to Release Coles

FRPLG · 02-20-2005, 11:57 PM

I just can't believe that two stand up guys can't get on the same page here.

MTK · 02-21-2005, 12:04 AM

I'm at a loss for words right now, this one is totally out of left field.

Gmanc711 · 02-21-2005, 12:04 AM

So let me get this straight...we might lose Coles, Smoot, possibly Perice and Samuels all this offseason???

Maybe someone, like Dasel, understood the article better than I do. But what do we get by releasing Coles? As far as the Cap this year, and especially next season?

SmootSmack · 02-21-2005, 12:07 AM

Gmanc, I think Coles' giving up his bonus may actually help us keep Smoot and Pierce

But this looks like a call for CrazyCanuck

FRPLG · 02-21-2005, 12:07 AM

I guess...ahhh

SmootSmack · 02-21-2005, 12:08 AM

Do you think Coles already has a place in mind he wants to go to?

redrock-skins · 02-21-2005, 12:10 AM

Let's blow it up and start over in the WR department. Sounds good to me.

MTK · 02-21-2005, 12:10 AM

This is just blowin my mind guys, WTF?!

This just blows the roof off all the offseason plans, now we HAVE to acquire a WR either through the draft or free agency, now Jacobs HAS to be ready to step up and contribute.

All I can say is...wow. Damn I need a drink!

Gmanc711 · 02-21-2005, 12:15 AM

I dont belive this. We BETTER, and I MEAN BETTER be able to keep a couple guys, like Smoot, with this extra money. I am so sick and tired of having all these peopel come and go liek its a god damn carosuel. A drink is right matty.....absolutley shocked!

MTK · 02-21-2005, 12:17 AM

He'd better be giving up the rest of his bonus so we take a minimal cap hit if at all.

SKINSnCANES · 02-21-2005, 12:19 AM

man coles suck it up and play. This sets a bad precendent that Gibbs shouldnt allow. You play in a system, not for your self. Thats what he needs to preech. This makes it ok for Portis to say he wants to be cut to. Becuase we didnt run in a style that is good for Portis, we made him do what Bugel wanted. And Taylor didnt get to play the way he wanted, he should ask to be released to. And lavar is definitly gone, we know how much he hates beign asked to go in the three point stance....

SKINSnCANES · 02-21-2005, 12:21 AM

why wouldnt they atelast try and trade him. i bet the ravens would give up their first round pick for him, atelast a second and third.

We can't just trade him because of the cap hit. I was typing up what I think is a reasonable deal(above) when you posted and this the only way it could possibly work.

Also... no one is going to give us a good pick for him when the know he wants out and we're willing to release him and they'd have to give him someguranteed money. I mean maybe a 4th if we find someone desperate.

Yeah that's true the cap implications of trading him would be tough, and most likely that's the reason why a trade isn't going to happen, not sure if there's any way around not taking the cap hit in a trade.

Damn this really stinks, I'm depressed

We take no cap hit if he gives back all his SB remaining in the deal..
