LabattBlue Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 per nfl.com... SKINNED Without an extension of the collective bargaining agreement, this could be one of the bloodiest weeks the NFL has witnessed, with more teams cutting more players at this time of the year than the league ever has seen. And no team is in worse shape than the Washington Redskins, who some league insiders believe will have to cut anywhere from 15 to 20 players. Those numbers will depend on how many players will be willing to restructure their contracts, but one NFL general manager who reviewed Washington's salary-cap situation wondered how the Redskins will even be able to field a team. For starters, the Redskins are expected to release defensive backs Matt Bowen and Walt Harris, defensive linemen Renaldo Wynn and Brandon Noble, wide receivers James Thrash and Taylor Jacobs, center Cory Raymer, and kicker John Hall. Even with all those moves, the Redskins still will be significantly over the salary cap, requiring them to release even more players from their roster. No team is rooting for a CBA extension any harder than Washington. Otherwise, the Redskins team next weekend will be considerably different from the one they have this weekend. Makes my day to know that little Danny Snyder's team is about to be torn apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frez Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Dan Synder has some pull. I'll bet he's not worried to much. Seems like every year everyone worries about the Redskins being over the cap and yet they make the playoffs this year. Seems to me they know how to work the cap. Will see...............

Astrobot Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I'm trying to find a guy there they'd miss. Most of the guys he named have been in decline for the last 3 years: Jacobs, Thrash, Bowen, Noble, Harris. Most have been to more than 2 teams, as well.

Stl Bills Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I thought Snyder was one of the five that was holding this thing up and wouldn't agree to revenue sharing for the new deal. I must be wrong, it sounds like the Skins are all types of screwed if this thing doesn't get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The first man cut should be Brunell. The guy flat sucks. He reminded me this season of Drew's final year with the Bills -- the Skins' D and running game saved every game, but Brunell seemingly tried over and over agian to blow each game.

JDG Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 This is actually hugely important, as Snyder has so far been one of the major obstacles to a new revenue-sharing deal, which is at the heart of the issues holding up the new contract.

scribo Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Sorry for this request for education, but why exactly does the Skins' future hinge on a new CB deal? Does the cap not go up from last year if a deal isn't struck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the cap not go up from last year if a deal isn't struck? 613507[/snapback] A new cap deal will probably mean that the owners have agreed to share a greater portion of overall revenues. The salary cap is set as a proportion of shared revenues, and indeed, under a new deal that propotion is expected to go up. Thus, a new cap deal will probably dramatically increase the cap well beyond the already-expected normal modest increase for this year.

scribo Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks, gents. In that case, I fully expect a Thursday night deal to be struck, pushing the start of free agency back a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Wonder if they will cut Portis. A lot of money saved there and then the could get James or someone else to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
