Portis restructures (Skins about $5M under the cap)
Sounds like we're gearing up to make a move or two

Re: Portis restructures (Skins about $8M under the cap)
How much money needs to be set aside simply for the draft picks? And what about re-signing guys like Caldwell, maybe Rock?

Re: Portis restructures (Skins about $8M under the cap)
Anybody have any figures on what kind of cap space is necessary to sign up to 6 draft picks? Obviously best case scenario would be all of our picks make the 53 man, but more realistically it will be 4 or 5. I just wonder what kind of cap room will be necessary for picks coming from our spot in the draft order....
Edit: I see SS beat me to the question as I was typing, but you get the idea

Re: Portis restructures (Skins about $8M under the cap)
To that point. With all the money being thrown around in the FA market, how come they are reluctant to give Cartwright $2M in guarantees? Obviously I don't know what the precise demands are, but $2M in guarantees (the number I'd heard) sounds like an exceedingly modest sum.

Re: Portis restructures (Skins about $8M under the cap)
For draft picks I think we can estimate about 3.5 million. I can't find the official numbers for this year(maybe they aren't out) but last year at 21 the Giants had $3.87 to spend on 8 players while the Saints had $3.371 on 7 players at 20. Accounting for cap inflation and needing money for only 6 then 3.5 has to be tops.

Re: Portis restructures (Skins about $8M under the cap)
I disagree. Rock is a return yardage stud and a locker room favorite. Despite not being a regular starter, he is a team leader and career-long Redskin. I think he brings intangibles that are very important to the team. $2M in guarantees isn't unreasonable at all for Rock IMO. Especially if we can give him a smaller base salary this year to still leave room for our draft picks and maybe an additional WR.

Not a whole lot more, but 2 million guarenteed over say 3 years would be well below market value for Rock.

Re: Portis restructures (Skins about $8M under the cap)
The guy consistenly brought the ball out to the 30-40 yd line in kickoffs...I mean he's no Devin Hester, but we an improve offense, this would be huge.

Re: Portis restructures (Skins about $8M under the cap)
Good point, I'd say Rock is comprable to a poor mans Brian Mitchell. Lacks elite speed to break away on kick returns unlike Hester, but is more then willing to lay the hammer on opponents that try to take him down. Hence the name Rock.
