According to the pundits...the same ones whose analysis we hate...the Skins are about to do another cannonball.

Dan Snyder is a human cash machine. Yes, the sound of his eye-lids opening is "Cha-ching".

Re: Redskins About to Sign Carter
 

Danny prints his own money--Snyder-bucks!

Danny buys everything on those credit cards he wanted all skins fans to use--at 0% interest and no late fees.

He owns the god damn bank!!!

Or something...

Anywho, we don't know the details of these contracts--all we get is a total and maybe a bonus or guarantee. So we can't tell how they are loaded, when the big hits fall, etc. Danny and Co have been adept at finding new and clever ways to spread the money out over the life of deals, and then Gibbs is good at getting folks to restructure for the team. Once the dust settles, the Canuck will work it all out for us mortals! ;)

[QUOTE=steveo395]this is crazy

this would be the 4th person were giving $5 million/year contracts too when the most amount of money we were supposed to have was $18million

i don't see how this is possible[/QUOTE]

cause its backloaded. they all only count 3.5mill this year (2mill SB, 1.5base) or something similar.

so 19-26mill under cap to start (pushing problems back a couple years and hoping the cap increases fast enough to prevent problems), 14mill in contracts to the big 4, maybe 1.5-2mill for fauria, and we can still have plenty of room for CB #3 and possibly an LB or OL guy. whichever of the 3 left undone gets fixed in the draft.

I'd still bet OL.

[QUOTE=That Guy]first year - 260yards. that's not amazing.[/QUOTE]

I guess I didn't realize the question was asking for immediate major contributors.

Re: Redskins About to Sign Carter
 

Cooley had 37 catches for 314 yards his rookie year, not sure where this 260 number is coming from.

Stats are only a google away folks.

andre carter was 7th overall pick 5 years ago, out of california. he missed almost the whole year the year before last. last year was his first year as a OLB, in a 3-4 system. he has never played linebacker in a 4-3, he is a pass rusher from the DE position by trade. he only played OLB last year because he wasnt big enough to be a 3-4 DE.
