i dont think we go into week 1 with both rambo and thomas as backups.

I agree, the Redskins are second in line to pick up some decent vets that get cut. The key could be salary cap space.

I'm not sure about this but wouldn't the team that cuts them be responsible for paying them any guaranteed money? I think the Skins would be able to pay them vet minimum which would be no problem as far as the cap is concerned. But, as I said, I'm not sure about that.

You are correct. Cut is cut. And most folks will be desperate for a job and will come cheap. I'm hoping that we can grab a very capable safety or tackle for a cheap, short-term rental.

The guaranteed money, as in signing bonus money, will be paid by the team that cuts them. However, if a team picks up a vet they assume their contract.... unless the player clears waivers. The good ones will not clear waivers .
