Hard Decisions: The solution to the $18MM offseason puzzle

that article is just basically recapping what several others have already done on this site. Its nothing that we havent expected the skins to do for the past month or so

The legal tampering period starts this weekend, I imagine that we will see a flurry of activity with the Skins as players' agents tell them where they stand throughout. Restructures have to be the easiest of all the options to put through last minute:

BA to agent, hey does your guy mind taking 10M upfront instead of throughout the next 3 years.
Agent to BA: let me check, ticktock Yeah we'll sign that

Seems like Redskins is in favor of cutting Hall instead of restructuring his contract

Schefter: Redskins May Cut DeAngelo Hall - Hogs Haven

I think Hall is as good as gone. He can talk all he wants about wanting to stay with the skins and pushing for the superbowl, but in the end, I see him taking the money elsewhere.

He will prolly get between 5-7 million a year somewhere else, no way he signs here for under 5. I just can't see it. His play was VERY good the last 9-10 games of the season. He's gonna get his money. His contract looks too difficult to restructure with what we need, and the amount we have.

Next man up.

I don't think he'll get that. Guy gave up the 2nd most yards amongst NFL corners last year.

If he gets 5M or more/year I would be shocked. In addition to being old and average at best, the market is flooded with DB's on the backside of their prime. He would not even be the best CB on the market.

Who do we send the thank you card to for cutting Hall? Allen? Shanahan? Both?

He's not gone just yet...

He has to be. There are very few ways to put a roster together next year unless Hall is either gone or making less than $2.0 million. He'll either get a gigantic paycut or will hit the road.

Yet is the keyword. I'm just trying to get the thank you cards and baskets prepped.

By the way, I think that the Paulsen and Young signings are the signal that we've given up the cap penalty fight. All along they've been telling agents to sit tight while they fought the penalty. Well agents clearly aren't sitting tight now that a few players are signing. It's over, time to take the medicine and gear up for player investment next season.
