Jon Jansen Restructures
 

Looks like he's agreed to the vet min :)

Seriously though, according to this he's restructured his 2008 salary down from around $5 million to $730,000

Haven't really had a chance to look at the overall cap ramifications. I'll leave that to the brainiacs

Re: Jon Jansen Restructures
 

We should be out of the red very soon now, who else is left to restructure?

Re: Jon Jansen Restructures
 

Talk about a guy who never complains just comes in and does his job (when he is healthy) I will give it 5 minutes before Schneed fills us in with all his cap wisdom

A partridge in a pear tree?[IMG]http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon12.gif[/IMG] No but I would think maybe Griffin or Samuels if they havent already

Re: Jon Jansen Restructures
 

I could be wrong, but I think this saves about $3.2 million

Re: Jon Jansen Restructures
 

Really how much money do we have now?

Re: Jon Jansen Restructures
 

he should restructure. Hell, he's been injured 2 of the past 3 seasons...

damn right...

Some cap relief. He may not come when you want HIm, but He is always right on time...lol

Re: Jon Jansen Restructures
 

So we are around 5 to 8 mil in the red now right?

Looks like Jansen's restructure was exactly what I was expecting, a simple restructuring of base salary into the form of signing bonus. The cap savings this year will be $3.2 million.

Ethan Albright was resigned as well, but has little to no effect on the cap. His cap number bumps another guy out of the top 51, and the difference between his cap figure and the 52nd player's is minimal.

Re: Jon Jansen Restructures
 

well I was wrong and that's good, .8 over sounds great. I still see a lot of potential savings and it seems that media critics have finally learned to shutup because we always find a way to bring down our numbers.

How will Rock Cartwright factor into all this?

[quote=SmootSmack;424752]How will Rock Cartwright factor into all this?[/quote]

Right now, Cartwright is a free agent, thus resigning him would be a hit to our cap figures. Signing him would move us further into the red.

Right now, the 51st man on our team counts $370K against the cap. For simplicity's sake, let's say we resign Rock for a one year deal worth $1.0 million. His signing would bump the 51st man out of the top 51, reducing our cap by $370K. He would then be added at $1.0 million. So the net effect of signing him, in this example, would be a hit of $630K.

Obviously if he signs with us for more money than that, the hit would be worse.

Rumors from JLC on his blog have indicated that the Skins may let him walk. Provided that they have a decent fallback option for kick returning and special teams, this could be a decent move. Our 3rd RB doesn't see the field often, so seeing him leave from a RB standpoint is really no big deal. But the staff will need to be cognizant of replacing his special teams leadership if they decide to let him go.

Re: Jon Jansen Restructures
 

Betts will probably go back to returning kicks if Rock leaves.

Re: Jon Jansen Restructures
 

schneed, great job. just saw on the nfl network that the skins are about 775,000 over thew cap.
