Deadcap.

They have more than $10 million in salary cap room though. Conservative estimates would put us a little over $20 million.

Definitely let the young guys get some playing time to see what we have to work with for the next year. We are absolutely a couple years away from fielding a competitive team. Also, I'd like to see us give Beck a shot. We give everyone else one.....

Paintrain i agree. Load Up Spend.i mean next years draft even with a top 5 QB (assuming we trade up or end up there ) we will have the rookie wage scale to lighten the burden of the pick. I mean use this to speed up rebuilding.

What Paintrain is alluding to is that the FA market is another tool for success when used properly. Not to take advantage of this......talent pool for players that fit our needs if done in a fiscally responsible way would be foolish indeed.

Um, every game and every win gets a closer to the playoffs and closer to the Super Bowl. You gotta win during the regular season to have an opportunity to get there. Every year there is one team that shocks everyone and has a big turn around. Why not the Redskins? Not saying it will happen, not even saying it's likely to happen.

But it seems silly to me to sit around pouting about how they're not ready to get to the Super Bowl and therefore every season they're not ready constitutes a "lost season". That's bogus. You can never be happy with your football team looking at things from that standpoint. Might as well just cheer for a team that will be a contender at that point.

Every game and every win DOES have a meaning. There's 16 games every season, and each and every win you get, is important. There aren't dozens of hundreds of game and you can go on a losing streak but then recover.
