Now I think someone will claim him, for sure. But the thing is he's already unhappy with his contract. He said so over the summer. Whoever picks him up will know that they have to deal with a huge headache.
Also, the Skins can't pick him up off waivers, we don't have the cap room. That 3.75 million base salary needs to fit under the cap, and prorated to the 6 remaining games, that's about 1.5 million or so. We don't have that much room. It's impossible for him to be a Redskin.

I'm glad we have some people on this site who can understand how these contracts, trades, and the cap work. I stop trying to understand how it all works long ago. Thanks for the info, and how long has it taken for you to learn how all this works?
