Agreed. Has anyone heard any new scuttlebutt regarding free agency moves? I doubt there is much news given the coaching staff is on vacation, but I'm starved for information.

We may not be able to get much of anything.

Redskins have few restructure candidates

Thanks to the $18 million salary cap penalty they will be hit with this year, the Redskins are about $4 million over their 2013 salary cap number. That sounds like a lot to be over but normally it is something that can easily be handled by restructuring a few contracts. But that will not be easy for the Redskins to do.

The ideal contract for a restructure is one for a player with a high base salary, in the $10 million range or higher, and at least three years remaining. The team and the player get together and work it out so the player gets most of his salary for that year up front in the form of a signing bonus. That allows the team to spread the cap hit for that salary over the remaining years of the contract.

The problem is, the Redskins don’t have many high salaries this year. Their highest 2013 salary is $7.5 million and it belongs to DeAngelo Hall.

As already noted, we also have alot of our own guys we need to re-sign. I dont forsee us making a single "splashy" move.

I saw that. Rather disappointing news, really. Looks like we'll be making a lot of cuts...
