Sean Taylor Cap Ramifications

[big_rod]

Though I am grieving like any other Redskins fan, I must admit I did think of salary cap ramifications, too, as a passing thought; though I questioned myself for even thinking of something so soon after Sena's passing it appears I am not alone.

In any event, SmootSmack's link to ESPN.com regarding the Redskins's salary cap was detailed to say the least. And as I type this, 46 comments from readers over there were debating the merits (right or wrong) of talking about such information in the wake of Sean's passing.

However, this is still a business and if you look at Redskins.com they posted an article stating that the Skins have made some roster moves which was partly motivated by Sean's passing:

"The Redskins have re-signed wide receiver Jimmy Farris and promoted linebacker Matt Sinclair from the practice squad, the team announced on Wednesday.

Offensive lineman Kevin Sampson was released from the roster. With Sinclair on the active roster, the Redskins filled his practice squad with wide receiver Burl Toler.

The Redskins had an available roster spot open due to the tragic death of safety Sean Taylor."
