Fauria Released
The Redskins have released TE Christian Fauria. I wonder who his backup will be.

Re: Fauria Released
I think Todd Yoder will be the backup although we may sign a free agent to bolster the depth.

Re: Fauria Released
We are going to be way under the cap. I hope we at least take three chill pills before the clock strikes midnight on thursday night.

Re: Fauria Released
One down, how many more to go?
Any of our capologists have anything on Patten? seems I remember somebody saying here that it wouldn't save anything to cut him. |

Re: Fauria Released

Re: Fauria Released
I figured he'd only be around for a year anyways, not surprised.

Re: Fauria Released
Cutting Fauria saved us $1.0 million (on the nose) in cap space.
Cutting David Patten would actually cost us cap space ($2.2 million to be exact). If we cut him as a post-June 1 cut, we'd save $1.3 million this year, and then take a $3.5 million deadcap hit next season. Chances are Patten will be back, but I've seen stranger things happen.

Re: Fauria Released
Good move, but not a surprising one.
Now to bring in a blocking TE who can actually block.

We could end up w/# 4 & 5 WRs - Loyd & Patten - that don't play spec. teams. I thought Thrash outplayed both last year & earned time at wr, plus he just restructured/extended. |
