They are a busniess and should be able to hire and fire who they want shouldn't they? If they don't need the employee why continue to employ them? Did Snyder turn them into a charitable group and I didn't know it?

Just don't use the the economy as an excuse. It's a laughable one the minute they sign their first big ticket free agent to a multi-million dollar deal. And we're supposed to believe Joe Schmoe's $30k a year salary is putting them in a bind? Please.

Well, salary floor. I understand what you are saying though, but cutting costs can only be done to a certain degree with the million dollar players on the field.

The realities of revenue sharing means that the Redskins have to cut costs even if they don't see a downturn in revenue, simply because they'll owe more to other franchises who are being more directly affected.
