Next Year's Cap Situation

[Skinz4life]

I have been hearing about this for years now - I am sure someday it will catch up with us, but i am also sure that our FO has a plan in place, just like last year they had a plan in place in case the new CBA wasn't signed. Until we actually see it all happen I wouldn't be to concerned over it.

Honestly, I think their current plan is to win while Joe Gibbs is the head coach here. I mean to say that they are willing to make a huge sacrifice in order to try to win right now. The future consequences may be an afterthought for trying to win it all in 2007.

The 'Plan' last year if the cba wasn't signed was to ask virtually 1/3 of the team to take pay cuts, not restructures as there was no cba & thus no cap in place for restructures to take place. If that didn't work, the plan was to pray & hope it worked.

Not to sound too cynical, but there was hardly a 'plan' in place last year if the cba wasn't signed. We were in cap hell. Not even Eric S. & the rest of the front office could get around that mess, we would've had to cut key players if the cba wasn't agreed upon.

There will be another year like that at the end of the current cba & I think the front office under Gibbs' direction, is addressing this now. They're attempting to restructure key guys & reduce salaries of others who they're prepared to cut.
