It sucks for them, no doubt-I'm in the same boat with them, but 4 other teams have had lay-offs as well. It's completely different sides of the business.

JLC was on First Take this morning and when the question was, does this put Zorn on the hot seat he said no, it puts Vinny on the hot seat and spent 2 minutes railing against VC. He's so clearly got an axe to grind but I'm tired of reading about it in every article he writes about the team.

VC is on the hot seat if we don't win this year. It is a gamble to put $100 million dollars on a D tackle. They are in the trenches and get hurt frequently. 2 weeks out...4 weeks out..common occurences in the trenches. So no doubt this is a major gamble. I hope it works out. Haynesworth should make everyone better.

What a douche JLC is. I agree with SS - the employee layoff comment was totally lame. It's pretty obvious how annoyed he is.

Also, where is he getting this "LaVar Arrington experiment didn't work" stuff? He wasn't an experiment. He was one of the best defensive players I've ever seen in college football, and we drafted the guy. Sure injuries derailed him, and he had his issues with the front office, but he had some solid years here (and a few pro-bowls) despite playing on a lot of lousy teams.

Funny how (for the sake of his argument) he conveniently doesn't even mention the distinct possibility of an uncapped year in 2010 and beyond.

JLC is a bitter, sniveling little jerk.

Just out of curiosity does anyone know what happens to us next year without a CBA?

2010 will be uncapped we can do whatever we want with contracts pretty much. It may cost us big time $$ (not like Snyder cares), but we will have no cap to worry about. Given the $155M in contracts we just doled out and the 4 or 5 guys who restructured this week, I think it's safe to say we're pretty much banking on an uncapped season in 2010.

So it's more of a financial problem then a cap problem without a new CBA? Because I keep on thinking that all these bonuses being spread out will be moved to our 2009 cap and as a result there will be no way we can afford that in terms of cap space.

If you were one of the employees, how would you feel? Ecstatic? It's reality now a days and I would be pissed!!

So you wouldn't be pissed at the bench warmer that makes a 6-figure salary?

From a total football perspective (which what JLC is supposed to be reporting from) the employees that were laid off have nothing to do with the signing. It was a unecessary low-blow. JLC is a total douche.
