I feel like we've had this same discussion about 1000 times on this board.

Do people actually think there are teams in this league with zero roster turnover year to year? We've had more than our share but that also goes hand in hand with the constant coaching turnover.

Regarding the cap, we were supposed to be in cap hell about 5 years ago. Maybe I missed it but I haven't seen these major cap problems the mediots keep saying we're headed for. Teams around the league have to wheel and deal to get under the cap each year, and contract restructuring is the name of the game in the modern free agency era. These things aren't exclusive to the Washington Redskins.

Each year there are a handful of teams in much worse shape than the Redskins cap-wise, and this offseason will be no different.

We are building towards something right now, a major overhaul of the roster just isn't going to happen this offseason. I'm not sure why some people seem to be freaking out right now.
