Redskins: New Contract breakdowns/cap info

[firstdown]

It realy looks like our deal with players while they sound high in total numbers really are not reality and will run much less or spread out longer. We know that a player like El if he performs on the field we will restructure in the latter years and bring those cap numbers down . Am I right in my assessment of how we are working the contracts?

we wouldn't even need to restructure. he'd go from 3/year (first three years) to 4.5mill a year over the last four... either he merits that paycheck or he doesn't. after the 4th year he can be cut for instant cap savings at any time.

So does this mean that we get more "cap friendly" over the next three years?

only if we don't continue adding more players with big bonuses and more massive restructuring efforts.

but we probably will we lead the league in deadcap every year i believe (which is cap charges for players no longer on your roster).
