Cap Sheets updated

[Pocono]

CC....IMO Albright doesn't qualify for the vet subsidy because he was under contract when he was re-signed so he probably counts 770K against the cap. They should have waited until after 3/1 to re-sign him.

Qualifying Contracts (defined)

Player must have at least four credited seasons and must have either:

(a) A new, one-year contract at the minimum signed after previous contract had either expired or been terminated; or
(b) A continuing, multi-year contract signed before December 1, 2001 that calls for payment of the applicable minimum in 2002.


Also those expecting a quick easy cut of Noble yeilding the full cut value may be disappointed because he's still under contract and not healthy enough to cut without an injury settlement. They probably hope he'll retire but why do that and give up the injury settlement?

I think he does qualify. His previous contract ended at the end of 2005, and he signed a 1-year deal with a $25K SB which qualifies him for the vet minimum.

I think the Redskins may offer him a coaching or front office job to "ease" the transition. This would be a good way to "ease" some other transitions as well. Wynn comes to mind.
