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.

You are saying exactly what I want to hear. There are teams in the NFL with constant roster turnover, and do they win? that is my question, or statement which ever pertains. Teams with constant roster turn over DO NOT win. Teams with a consistant core of role players (indy,philly,ne,cincy(after a couple of years of building)Jacksonville) I can keep going. The cap hell will never hit as long as we keep mortgaging the future. by that I mean restructing, reworking, cutting, dropping what ever. We keep having to cut because of the stupid contracts we sign players too. or the lack of draft picks which dictates free agent signings, or the quality of draft picks dictates the free agent signings. This is my point, when we have a few years of minimul offseason movement, and make progress the following years, then we will be moving in the right direction as a franchise.
