Gotta be cap or health related.

You dont cut a veteran lke Jansen during OTA's and mini-camps, you cut him at or near the end of training camp, but not in May.

My thought when I first saw it was "June 1st cap casualty". Players released before June 1st, the team is able to save the cap hit in the current NFL year, but take that hit the following year.

If that is the case, Vinny must really believe that next yr there will be no caps..

But since next year is currently an uncapped year, June 1 is an irrelevant date this season.

This is going to be about a 5 million dollar hit on the cap, or something close to that, but the only place the Redskins could spend that money anyway is an extension. From that point, this move makes sense.

The CBA runs out this year which has the potential to make 2010 an uncapped season. But I assure you that negotiations for a new CBA will be intense to reach a new agreement to avoid a lockout at the end of 2010.

If there are owners out there that are counting on the NFL not having a salary cap, instead of preparing for a new CBA as if there will be a salary cap, then those owners are preparing themselves to fail.
