He plays a 100% percent. Both of our last two coaches rave about his pratice work ethic and locker room presence. Shoot, Joe Gibbs once said he wished he had 53 James Trashes. And last but not least, he never get any love on this board and has been a redskin forever.

and now he's ancient and even slower. 53 james thrashes would lose you a lot of games.

Yeah but he is a core guy and he fights his guts out. 53 James Thrashes would be 0-16 to the Lions.

He is not slow and ancient, see the example of the video I posted from last year. And apparently you fail to see the point that Gibbs was trying to make, that effort and hard work count for something and that if more players had that drive it would make his job so much easier.

Let me just add, if the Redskins were a baby in a burning building, James Thrash would rush in and save the Redskins.

Yea but he's the Rock Cartwright of the defense. He knows all the WR routes and is a great ST but if we don't use him or he keeps dropping balls like the rest then all he is, is a ST character type guy. Yes he's a team leader but he's taking a roster spot for just being a ST. No different then Rock. Rocks a nice kick returner and character guy but that's it. He sucks at RB with his one step forward two steps back, dancing in the back field. Rocks the type who loses 15-20 yrds then breaks a 40 or 50 yarder. Thats not what we need. besides he fumbles alot as a RB.

I like Thrash and was happy they brought him back, but if he's only being used in a one dimensional manner then cut him and get another tall young WR to groom by the WR coach who can't develope WR's. lol.

no, i see that point, along with the super smart football players fighting their guts out after every losing game too.

if the best highlight you have of thrash is of a corner falling down and leaving him uncovered, well... that's pretty weak. he's just not very good.

Just did another update with the following:

- Added Haynesworth, Hall, and Dockery contracts. Haven't found any specific salary or bonus info yet but I'm using assumptions based on various media reports. I have Haynesworth at $7.9M for 2009 and Hall at $5.2M as per this article: Washington Times - Redskins spend freely despite cap. I have Dockery's 2009 cap hit at $1.8M.

- Changed salary cap from $123M to $127M.

I now have us at $3.787M of cap room.

This is just enough to sign our draftees i guess. Are there any players left to restructure to the point we could sign another FA olineman?

I think we have space to sign another lineman to a Dockery type contract, then still sign our rookies. We might not go that route though. We might instead choose to get a punter worth a darn, and then bring Khary Campbell and Demetric Evans back.

It's impossible to know what the team will do from this point forward, since it's just a matter of filling in a gap or two.

As for restructures, we could actually still save space by restructuring Rabach, cutting Thrash, or extending/restructuring/cutting Jason Taylor. The team has said though that Taylor will be back at his existing salary number. There's a section in the first post showing Other Ways To Reduce the Cap Number.

I changed the numbers in this thread to reflect yours. It amounted to only a 0.3 million change, so we're on the same page.
