Current Redskins Salary Cap Status - 2009

[Defensewins]

I am not surprised to read that Redskin players and sources are saying Jason Taylor and Shawn Springs will NOT accept a pay cut or a contract renegotiation. This is going to make for an interesting offseason.
The Reinhardt comments are not really a surprise. He is clearly in Bugel's dog house and that fact despite all of the injuries to the OL, Reinhard was not even considered for even a few minutes of play time is very telling. This guy must be stinking it up in practice. This rookie class is not really showing signs of improvements.

LOL my god is it that hard to spell Rinehart folks?

[GMScud]

That JLC article was deflating:

Rinehart can't play NFL football (how could we have so grossly misjudged him??), neither Heyer or Jansen are viable starters anymore but will both be back in '09. Thomas and Kendall are both in decline with health issues and will both be back in '09. We may go after a guard who could push for a starting job but nothing fancy. Hopefully we'll draft a tackle with our first pick. Sounds like our O-line (our biggest problem) won't be fixed much at all. No mention of Rabach either. I guess he'll be around.

We need a home run hitter compliment to Portis but can't afford one in free agency and are limited in draft picks.

Jason Taylor may come back, but if he does it will be for an overpaid $8.5M, and it sounds like he doesn't want to be here anyway. Griffin isn't going anywhere and it doesn't sound like we'll be a player for any real FA D-line contributors. I guess the possibility of landing a Connor Barwin type in the 3rd round is cool.

We desperately need help with kicking/punting, but we'll do little more than give our current bums some competition in training camp.

And we're stuck at WR.

It's not looking up for 2009.

It's taken years to dig this hole. It will take years to climb out of it.

If I didnt know better, I would say Vinny WANTED to get fired.

I tried to tell y'all this by creating this thread, but I ended up with a bunch of "No dude, we'll cut this guy and that guy and that guy and turn our whole team over and we'll be good to go" posts.

I ain't going to say "I told you so" yet, not until we actually see what they do. But the numbers - by and large - tell the tale.

Well you educated me Schneed. I thought we could completely cut all of the elderly offensive line-men. After learning about the cap I see we can't do it all in one off season. After studying the numbers you put up it's apparent what's going to happen.

[SmootSmack]

Most of what JLC wrote we've been talking about for a while here. And it's really only deflating because we all want that quick fix every second of every game.

[WaldSkins]

By reading this article it sounds like we don't have an area that doesn't need some attention.

and evidently we've decided not to address alot of these areas for some reason.

I wouldn't say that. Our secondary is pretty good. They couldn't trait bait Rogers if he was garbage. Our defensive line is holding up a lot better than the O and we do have younger players there ready to step up.

1.) Yea our secondary is good ,WITH Rogers.
2.) "Our defensive line is holding up a lot better than the O"- Big deal it's not like our D-line is good, it's just better then our awful Oline

[SBXVII]

I know an area that does not effect the CAP. ...lol..WR Coach. lol. siranara. lol.

I still relish in the idea of Vinny sitting at the end of the table with everyone in the room asking with a straight face "so why did we faulter during the second half of the season." Joe Bugels getting held back, Stan Hixon's hiding under the table, Zorn's curled up in the fetal position, Blache is yelling obscenities and asking why doesn't he have the new Defensive Tackle he's been asking for the last few years, all the while Snyder is counting his money.

LMAO. I pictured it with all those you mentioned as characters from one of those political cartoons. Good stuff.
