Damn good news. I was thinking that this is one way to somewhat circumvent the cap penalty, but was a perceived negative in ways the redskins did things in the past - pushing cap money to later years by converting salaries to guaranteed money up front. The biggest risk is the player(s) being cut early in the contract and increasing the redskins dead cap money.

That is standard practice by every team that it willing to spend the full cap. The penalty wasnt for moving cap money back by giving guaranteed money. It was for pulling money forward into an uncapped year.

Not saying that this is why they were penalized. This is what they're doing now with the restructure.

Woah Kemosabi!

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I'm pretty sure Rich Tandler is saying that the Redskins "could" save money in these ways that he is ''suggesting''. I don't read this as this is going to happen.

again maybe I'm wrong.

I would say my fault but tandler used the word- will and not the word - could.

Got my hopes up for nothing.

To clarify it I asked Tandler directly. He said;

Rich Tandler ‏@Rich_TandlerCSN
@RedskinsCult59 As noted in the post, nobody knows what their plan is. I was outlining possibilities.

stupid me for not fully reading his article

[warriorzpath]

I wonder who was the first cut - Hall or Moss? ... or maybe someone else?

[MTK]

Hall is probably the pay cut.

Yea ... I'd have to agree. I'm reading that J Wilson is a prime candidate for an extension to help out with the cap figure

[Jayroc24]

I am just surprised, that if they have restructed that many why we have not heard anything until now...... I am sure all those agents and players would be hard pressed to be that quiet about it. If it is true it's great news, but the devil is in the details.
