On the team page, it has EJ Biggers as a 1.5M cap hit this year, so that would seem to me fairly updated.

I believe that money has to cover the rookie pool, plus most teams go into the season leaving some in case of emergency, so it's not much play room. Also, they have us with 67 signed players, I would imagine we want to be around 80, even the rule of 51 minimizes that impact for now.

They also had EJ Biggers contract at 1.5 million before anyone new what it was. It seems as up to date and accurate s anything I have seen.

Nearly $3M in room? Have there been some restructures that we haven't heard about?

There usually are. The past few years it happened very quietly for a few players.

Yeah I've seen a few other sources confirm the $3M number so it must be right.

I cannot believe we paid a really, really bad version of Hall (Biggers) $1.5 million this season. Totally a head-scratcher signing at this point.

Looks like we gave him:
- $635K base salary
- $365K signing bonus
- $500K roster bonus

The min salary for his experience is $630K. And the roster bonus probably only gets paid if he makes the team. So if he's a disaster they could probably cut him and only absorb a $365K deadcap hit.

I don't know much about DJ Baggers so I can't comment whether this is a good deal or not. But I'm pretty sure DHall wouldn't come back for $1.5M.

That's encouraging. Have no idea what Hall wants, but he's not gonna command much on the market IMO, and if we're willing to pay a huge downgrade (Biggers) up to $1.5 mil I think that makes Hall a steal for, say, up to $2.5 mil based on incentives.

Biggers is replacing C. Griffin, not Hall.

Where'd he go? And who do YOU think will/should replace Hall?

Griffin is a free agent.

winfield, followed by this year's draft picks.

or possibly hall, followed by this year's draft picks.

c griffin was a 1-year deal. he was okay, but not great for the price.

at this point it looks like Hall or Winfield. which ever one signs for a salary cap hit under 2:5 mill.

[CultBrennan59]

We may get a decision on Winfield by tomorrow since he's staying in DC and spending tonight and tomorrow afternoon here with the Redskins Brass according to @SonofWashington: Source: Antoine Winfield Will be staying overnight, meeting with team officials tonight and tomorrow
