So how much money did we actually save in the cap?

$8.5 million.

We now have $12.3 million at our disposal.

With that cap space we could make at least a couple more moves, correct Schneed?

Absolutely. That's enough room to bring in an impact lineman, an impact LB, a decent punter, bring back Evans, bring back Daniels, and sign the rookies.

Just as one example.

Put it this way: Haynesworth and Hall combined to take up $13.1 million. We have $12.3 available right now - you can fit two huge contracts in that amount of space, or 5 medium ones, or lots and lots of little ones.

It's tons of space.

WWHHHOOOOOEEEEE!!!!!!! Supposedly the Skins and Taylor cound'nt come to an agreement on restructuring his contract. We're back in business boys!!!

The key in this is to find out how much cap space we have now and how many moves we will be able to make.

This cut could mean 1,2 or 3 more FA signings......who knows?

that could be a good thing, but at this point, there arent ANY really good DE or OT prospects on the open market. There a few value LB guys out there, but no one good enough that it would require cutting Taylor. We've just created another hole to fill with one of our 4 draft picks.

Did the tackle from Seattle get signed already?

That Giamts D line is going to kill us if we don't fix that RT spot!

No, hes still out there, but he's cheap enough we wouldnt have had to cut Taylor to sign him. He's also not a noticable upgrade over Heyer, so i doubt we bring him in.

I don't buy that we would cut Taylor just because he didnt want to work out here at redskins park... we wanted the cap space for something. Maybe we traded our first round pick and something else to Arizona for Bolden and/or Dansby?. Or maybe we're going after Ocho Stinko again? more likely i'm just paranoid. we couldnt be THAT stupid, could we?

With NO 2nd round pick!!!! I got to tell you if there are no other pick ups in Free agentcy there are just to many hole to fill in the draft. Also it real kill any gains by any free agents we picked up last week. We will see what happens in the next few weks!

i agree 8.5 is too high to bring back Taylor. I just hope the Front Office makes 2-3 quality moves the remaining money we have under the cap.

I suggest:
1 - One Linebacker through FA
2 - One DE through the Draft
3 - One O-Lineman through FA
4 - A DAMN KICKER!

Thoughts?

i argree with everything you said except i feel number 3 should be 1 Portis could be more of a beast then he is with a good line in front of him also Campbell could be more productive with a better line in front of him

I suggest:
3 - One O-Lineman through FA
1 - One Linebacker through FA
2 - One DE through the Draft
4 - A KICKER!
5- A good punter
