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

No. Stupid him for misleading in his tweet prior to making his article available. You can't read an unavailable article. There's a big difference in the meanings of those 2 words- will/could in this context.

I never said anything the first time but...

He never said "will". He said "will be able to", which means could.

That doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense. To say someone WILL do something leaves no other alternative. They are doing it regardless. To say someone WILL BE ABLE TO means they can if they want to. There is no definitive must do action associated with that. Will be able to does not mean they will absolutely do it.

Rich Tandler never once said they are making those cuts with 100% certainty, he said those cuts are available if they want to make them. There is a huge difference between the two.
