does anyone know?

Once again this shows how the Skins dominate the league on cap issues. We may stink it up year after year on the field but we are masters of the cap. They are the only team I have read about that actually went about free agency with the cap increase in mind. Looks like once again they know how to walk the line on the salary cap.

I've said this before and I think it bears repeating: One of the reasons we have been cap masters is b/c we have been losing. Before any of the FA's we sign reaches the mega-millions of the 4 year of their contracts, they are gone for a prorated cap hit. When the winning starts, we are going to lose some quality players b/c we won't be able to restructure and/or pay for everybody.

I am not saying that we will neccesarily go into cap hell; I just think that cap dynamics differ significantly for a winning team as opposed to a losing team.

I can't disagree more. The economics of the cap dictate that EVERY team in football turns over at least 1/3 of their roster a year. Teams like New England have tons of new players every year and still win. Whether you're a cap master or not has nothing to do with winning. I'd say the Skins are the best at the cap in the league because they consistently acquire new players and seem les stymied by the cap than other. teams. Now whether these player acquisitions are wise moves is an entire other matter.
