2. How much is roster bonus?
3. What does his annual salary look like currently?

Thanks. And keep up the great work. Redskins' fans are great fans. I have never met a one of them that didn't know their football and didn't have a great passion for their team.

right now he'd be 12 mill hit in 2006 without a restructure if we keep him (or trade/cut him before june 1st), after the 1st he'd be 5mill this year and 7mill next year (+the cost of replacing his spot on the roster). It looks like he might restructure to let the team pro-rate this year's bonus, in which case he'd be a 7mill hit for 2006 (but that'd be low enough to keep him). HOWEVER, until the cba is extended the skins can't make that move do to the 30% clause during the last year of an existing cba.
