Rumor

Crazy Canuck! Maybe you can help with a question. Will the Redskins have to pay Samuels salary if we trade him? Or, if there is a straight up trade for Ogun, are we then no longer obligated for Samuels Signing bonus and salary?

Then, are we not also obligated to take care of Ogun if we get him, like we did Brunnell?

This is a complex issue!


I'm not advocating a trade, just wondering what the ramifications are.

We need you Crazy Canuck, Mr. Capologist!

I think that, we have to pay Samuels, along with the Salary cap hit, for the up-coming season.

HOWEVER, it would be this season, and thats it forever. Where as we cut him, he still counts against the cap for years.

If we trade him or cut him his remaining signing bonus accelerates and all becomes due, or the cap hit as we know it. Perhaps CC can fill us in with the details.

while we wait for CC to chime in, I've always liked this resource for cap info

thats a stupid trade, Samuels is a beast ogi is gets sacks because of taylor period. I be the first to send a angry letter to Snyder and crew personally

I can see a deal involving draft picks but that's it. And Miami isn't dealing now with six weeks left till camp. Plus, if they do want to trade this guy, they'll make it known and try to get the best possible deal from everyone. Soooo, why deal him now?

That would make me pissed of. I don't see it happening.

Ive seen this same rumor on other redskins sites /ive also bin to a dolphins site that says the same thing

i think we'd see more if a trade were going to happen... so i'd say its going nowhere, and i kinda doubt gibbs would give up a decent Olinemen. Whether it'd be a good trade or not i can't really say.

Samuels is not merely a decent Olineman. He has been dominant in the past, hes young (27 i believe), 2 pro bowls. Hes had 2 down years in crappy protection schemes, give the guy more credit.
