RedskinRat, that was so funny, I'm still laughing.<sarcasm> I thought there must be a whole buch of videos, so I kept waiting for the page to finish loading. Then I looked at the bottom of your post, and lo and behold, your twisted sense of humor was on full display. :)

No. The cleared cap space money simply covered for what was already spent.

We cleared cap space to have a bare minimum in the season. It's not Shanahan's MO to go after someone like Byrd, and its not BA's MO to go out on a limb cap space wise.

Reading the whole article, it's just purely a ridiculous notion to think that Cousins is going to be traded before Griffin has played a snap in a live game.

Re: Around the NFL-Week 1
 

i think we got a plan at safety and trading for Byrd is not in it.

Re: Around the NFL-Week 1
 

[quote=Chico23231;1022344]i think we got a plan at safety and trading for Byrd is not in it.[/quote]

The plan at safety is to have a dominant pass rush, at least this season. The Giants had a substandard secondary in the past but got away with it due to their pass rush.

I think we are looking to go that same route. If our pass rushers stay healthy, I believe we can pull it off. Force teams to run and use short passes.

Re: Around the NFL-Week 1
 

per overthecap.com, the bottom 6 salary cap teams are:

Saints $121,252,279 $1,510,273
49ers $120,895,025 $1,424,557
Redskins $102,295,699 $1,412,625
Chargers $111,177,275 $668,984
Rams $109,608,556 $525,143
Giants $116,254,315 ($975,555)

They keep these pretty accurate, so I would really like to know how the Giants are nearly 1M over the salary cap. Again, I think this shows that the restructures were just to keep us above the line this year. (yes they definitely include the Bowen and Cofield numbers) I haven't been able to find any more info on Carriker, and I don't understand why we would restructure his. That's a head scratcher to me.

I hope that the Giants get whooped for being over the cap. Competitive balance is at stake. Let 'em taste their own medicine.

Does anyone know what day teams have to be in compliance with the cap? I was under the impression that day was when teams had to cut the roster to 53.

I just went searching and found a source saying the same thing. If the Giants didnt do anything yesterday to lower their cap, then they should get hit with a loss of draft picks.

Byrd is hurt and unable to play now anyway, plantar fasciitis...not an easy recovery.


If he could somehow afford him, which we can't, I say toss out a Pat White for Byrd offer. They DESPERATELY need a backup QB.

They must have done something. Andrew Brandt wasn't sure what the penalty was, but he kept saying repeatedly that he's never seen anyone be over the cap. I would assume it's pretty severe whatever the penalty is.

Re: Around the NFL-Week 1
 

I just doubt the penalty would be enforced against Mara.

Re: Around the NFL-Week 1
 

All the teams get daily reports. I am willing to bet that if DSnyder and JJ saw Mara's team over the line, even for a day without an extension prior to the deadline, they would be pumping all the owners up to get a penalty enforced. And I don't think Mara would be immune from 24 other owners, otherwise he has got to have one helluva picture collection, if you know what I mean ;).

There have been teams penalized in the past for being over the cap. The 49ers got hit one year and lost a 5th in what was the current year and a 3rd the next year. But that was around 10 years ago. They were also fined but it wasnt some huge amount.

McGloin, we'll remind you, is an undrafted, completely unheralded, rookie. These are dark days, even by Black Hole standards.[/QUOTE]


Wow. This guy was horrible at Penn State...hence why he wasn't drafted by anyone.

Wasn't he picked up by us as a UDFA really early on in the offseason?

Re: Around the NFL-Week 1
 

OK, he turned down our offer because he knew he had zero chance here.

Then he spent a few days in Panthers tryouts and didn't make it. Oakland then signed him for 3 years. :D

According to the article, he turned down a UDFA contract with another team to attend our mini camp. The team that offered him the contract was similar to us, a few to many good QB's so he chose to come to the Redskins mini camp because he thought working with the Shanny's would help him.

"Quarterback Matt McGloin turned down one team's free-agent contract offer to to attend Washington Redskins mini-camp this weekend, his agent said Tuesday."

Thats the opening sentence of the first article you posted.

According to the article, he came here because he wanted to work with the Shanny's. He felt that was a good move even though he doubted he would ever make our team. He was doing it more for development is what it sounds like.

The Jets wasted a 2nd round pick on a QB that doesn't think he needs to watch game film. :doh: I think the funnier thing is, he's taking advice from Mark Sanchez.....LOLOLOLOL

[quote]Smith said he doesn't "think it's necessary" to watch tape on Revis before he goes up against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

"I mean, I don't think it's necessary," Smith said. "Maybe I will, maybe I won't. You pretty much get the idea of what kind of player he is based on his reputation."[/quote]


I remember all these Geno fanboys out there talking about how great his work ethic was, and how much of a film rat he was at WV. Smoke blown up the public asses to get this guy drafted much higher. Seems the NFL teams got the real scoop on his work ethic. Can't wait to watch him implode under his own ego.
