Every team has constant turnover every year. Once in a blue moon a team runs the same team out there two years in a row but that is rare. Media morons have said for years now that the Skins are headed for cap trouble and they have not even once been right. The problem with the skins has been COACHING TURNOVER and not talent turnover. The guys I listed as cuts are basically the same guys we rip in one way or another on a weeekly basis for not performing. Each I selected for cut was based on their production versus their cap number not just their cap number regardless of production. Our cap situation for next year is perfectly fine. Does anyone here think the skins looked at this situation and thought "Gee we better gear up this year and win it all since we'll have to cut everyone next year"? No they haven't said that. They have a long term plan to handle the cap and have had one for years and what do you know OMG! IT WORKS! Now if they can simply continue to make the right aquisitions in terms of talent then they'll be fine. Our problems haven't been the cap they have been taht we can't keep one coaching staff and we can't get the right mix in talent. I think it is pretty clear that both situations have improved under Gibbs substantially. Stop bitching about the cap. It is STILL THIS YEAR. We can have these arguments in the off-season.
