Those players are all making low amount because of the year of the contract, samuels just signed a deal this offseason, brunell redid his this offseason, Washington is in the second year, Griffin too, only the second year. Although I think we did actually get griffin cheap because I dont think his deal escalates more than 4 or 5 million at its highest. Moss, 1st year. You get where I am going. Now some of the players are cheap, sellers, BIG JOE, they wont be cap problems. I am tired of talking about this thread, its giving me a headache. have fun!!

I think Canuck's point is that while you get screwed in one year by one or two horrible dead cap hits, IN THAT YEAR you also get a bunch of bargains by spreading the cap hit down the road. Next year we'll probably have a big dead cap hit from Lavar. But Taylor, Washington, Griffin, Jansen, Santana and the other guys will all be relative bargains. The point is that it all evens out in any given year.
