So you're saying keeping Coles would be a good idea, even though it would have us $17 million over the cap instead of $10 million over it?

Funny thing about throwing numbers around. Your numbers seem to be higher than the ones I've seen. But perhaps you have better numbers than the Washington Times, which in today's article flatly disagrees with your assessment in stating:
"The trade of Coles back to the Jets means the Redskins will take a huge salary cap hit next season (Washington also lost a first-round draft pick when they acquired the restricted free agent in 2003)."

In any case, yes I would rather spread out the Cap hit over several years, rather than have it come crashing down as it has this year.
