Its realy amazing what one year of winning does to the cost of your players. Zo and Golston got signed last year at or near mini deals. Now both are getting paid. Still not sure why we paid Golston what we did. And then Polumbus is probably going to get paid also.

I think other than Golston's signing bonus he could still be cut at a minimum cost to the Skins. I can't wait to see how Phillip Merling turns out.

Zo > Goldston. There is no comparison. We kept the wrong guy.
I also do not want Polumbus to go.

Golston = back up money
Zo probably wanted starter money

Unfortunately the team doesn't have the luxury to keep a Pro Bowl special teams player when they are under the cap.

@HTTR24_7: RT @Manny_PPI: Interesting. RT @davidelfin @onemangang97 just told me that Cardinals gave him $9.5M, $3M guaranteed over 3 yrs.

With our cap problems we had no hope of matching that.

Vaya con Dios One Man Gang.

Good for him. He deserves it. I would have bolted too.

I agree. I wish we could have kept him, but with the cap penalty, we couldn't have come close to that. Lorenzo's been giving us a hometown discount for years. He deserves to get paid. I'm happy for him.

Even without the penalty that contract is to rich for Zo. He is great but I couldn't pay a special teams player and a solid backup.

We can replace him in the draft for much cheaper than that.

Yeah that's starter money. He's not a starter in DC. Jack of all trades are rarely great at one thing.

Too pricey for a backup/special teamer. I wish him luck but I think we'll be alright.

In a Down Economy, Redskins Let the Market Settle - Son of Washington

Basic common sense article but I thought it was worth posting.
