Jinx. You owe me a Coke.

I know wide receiver isn't a priority, but Wes Welker playing for the Redskins? With RG3 throwing to him? Sign me up right now! If we could only convince him to take limited pay. I'm not hating on our current receiving corps, and I know we really need some good young DBs, but Wes Welker is Wes Welker.

I wouldnt mind it but his price vs his production might not be in our budget with a few other glaring needs.

Cool thanks for the clarification, I wasn't aware that it worked that way.

Without a reduction in the salary cap penalty I am seeing a lot of doom and gloom about our offseason this year. We may add a couple of second and third tier players, but I am also more focused on keeping our own players that are possibly going to have to leave.

I want to keep our online I tact. Kory L and Polumbus for quality depth are targets for me. Young is a great FB and has gotten better every year (could see this guy having a long career as long as he is healthy).

Davis and Paulson need to be back.

Jackson and Lorenzo need to be here as they are extremely valuable to our team.

If we can't find a replacement I would bring Griffin back as well.

I can't believe we are 4mil over the cap, and have 15-16 guys coming off the roster.

I believe we will be fine. We have 7 draft picks and had the same penalties last season and were still able to land our top WR for the future. I can see us signing our key guys and picking up a secondary player or two. Olus aren't we trying to work out a long term deal with Mr. Orakpo right now. That might save us some money as well.

How do you propose we resign all these guys when we are $4 mil over the cap? There's about 6-8 guys I think most people are in agreement we want back. I don't see how it's possible as things sit now.

Assuming we don't get any cap space back we'll definitely have to make some tough decisions. It could mean letting someone like Davis get away I'm afraid.

Honestly I'd rather have rak over Fred if it was to come to that.

Magic and fairy dust of course

NC_Skins · 02-28-2013, 01:44 PM

Like a few have said before, I think the Skins will allow Fred Davis to test the market. They aren't going to give him top dollar, and truthfully I doubt he gets it on the open market either. We showed last year the team did fine without him.

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 02-28-2013, 02:01 PM

LMFAO Quake.

Without any relief we are going to lose guys we all would want to keep.

I also would love to have Rak, but I fear that considering we dangled him out there last year as trade bait for RG III. I could see a surprise trade coming where we move on from him. I DO NOT want tat to happen, but if you look at his injury history under this regime it is possible to read that in the tea leaves.

How much room do we get if Moss and Fletcher retire?

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 02-28-2013, 02:17 PM

Moss is 6.2 mil salary and I think fletch is in the 5 mil range. I do not know how much of that would go back on our cap, the full amount or just a portion of it.
