Dead money and scouting

I have mentioned this before...
I believe the Redskins build dead into their budgets every year expecting to have anywhere from 2 to 8 million. It is how they do things. I think the strategy is actually crazy like a fox. If they build in dead money and are constantly restructuring it always leaves room for FAs. This year is an exception because of the Coles situation but if not for that we'd have like 9 mil in cap space which is A LOT. The eagles do the opposite. They sign as many people to one yaer deals as they can and worry about resigning them next year. Just a different approach. Theirs is working because they have had some coaching consistency and do better at personell evaluation.
