However, it is enticing to see a secondary that includes: Winfield, Wilson, Hall, Biggers, with a healthy Merriweather and sober Jackson backing them up. Then a couple of draft picks and vets.. There'd still be big issues, but last year we scored 27 ppg (#4) and gave up 24ppg (#22) -- any defensive improvement from last year could keep us contenders for the playoffs and a lucky streak would get us into the SuperBowl.


I'd hate to see Winfield go to Seattle. If they keep their team together, it looks like we're going to have to go through them for the next decade to get to the SuperBowl.

A healthy Griffin and we win that game 38-21 or something. Seattle can be beaten.

Don't you mean no longer STONED.

Seattle doesn't scare me.

Besides Seattle is going to have to go through us I they want to make a Superbowl. The NFC goes through SF for the time being.

If we have to play Seattle every year to get to the Super Bowl...I'll take that. In fact I relish the thought.

Same here. I would enjoy us destroying the Seahawks every year.

We certainly owe them. They've beaten us the last three times we've met in the playoffs.

If we beat them once on the way to a Superbowl win, I'd consider us even. They got no rings after beating us.

Does anyone know Chris Nields health status? Is he still even on the roster?

Again, Eric Winston is on the market at a reasonable price and we don't make an effort to grab him... Honestly, what did he do to Kyle?

I think we have about 600k left in salary cap.

It's not a difficult fix in the least. It requires a restructure or two

We've restructured all the people we basically can. Also, some of these contracts you don't want to restructure because you have no intention of that player being around in the years to come. Shanny has already said he didn't want to get into the practice of screwing the future by pushing money into the future.

Since we're only $30,000 under the cap, obviously some sort of moves will need to be made.

The Redskins are left with six contracts that they can restructure that can create some significant cap savings—Williams, Pierre Garçon, Barry Cofield, Stephen Bowen, Chris Chester, and Will Mont.
