How are the Redskins going to manage the cap in the next few years?

I agree JoeRedskin. That is why I mentioned in another thread about seeing what Arrington could bring in a trade. I'm not saying he should be traded but he is a huge contract and like you said signing all of these high priced players has not caused the skins to win. Maybe the skins could trade some of these players for cheaper players and draft picks and build the team the way New England has. It is an idea I think the team should look into.

It seems like every month or two (and more often in the off-season) someone put up one of these salary cap threads. The truth is, no one really knows. Like Matty, I'll believe the "cap hell" theory when I see it (I don't think we will). It is an ongoing process, and I believe the idea is that if we start winning, players will WANT to stay, even if it means a little less money, or distributing it differently. Of course all players won't want to do that, but I think when Gibbs refers to players that are "real Redskins", that is what he means.
It works for the Patriots....players stay there (and other players want to go there) because they win. Even the Eagles are that way...they just let the players leave for a year or two, then come back. ;)
I think we will see minimal turnover the next couple years, especially compared to what we've seen the past few years. Yeah, we'll probably lose some players we'd rather keep and have to replace them, but that's how it is with EVERY team.

Danny "Dead Money" Snyder will manage things all right. He managed to give me a $8.6 million signing bonus. That's pretty good for a dead arm coming off a year of vacation. I'll be backing up next year's #1 draft pick because he can't afford to get rid of me. Whew.

cap hell won't happen until the nfl's profits start declining (not the near future) or at least level off...

samuels is hella expensive next year, and brunell is super expensive too... wynn is paid a good deal more than he's worth, as is mccants for being inactive... arrington isn't really that bad a deal, and springs + smoot may very well be cheaper than champ by himself...

since we have thrash, betts, and simon to return kicks, ditching morton is a possibility, he is much better, but without blocking i guess it won't make a huge difference (cooley or betts might actually be better since they can break tackles more consistantly)...

hall for ola?? could happen... wouldn't save a ton of money though...

that's all i can think of right now, pierce and smoot will need new contracts soon, so that'll be extra money + draft picks/FAs... DEs, possibly a SS OL or QB...
