Looking at the Redskins Cap, this may sound silly but they are in great shape. They are currently 2.9 over (not counting Thrash's savings). If they didn't restructure one contract (which they will) they could cut Wynn and John Hall and be about 1.4 under. Not to mention, if you look at Canuck's sheet, there are 63 players on there. So the rumor that they will be scrambling to field a team just isn't true. Now, the depth isn't anything to write home about but at least they have some flexibility.

I forget which article it was but the one that said (paraphrasing) "the only reason a big name would go is if they choose to let them go" is spot on. The cap won't be driving that decision.

I love seeing a low dead cap number. It prevents your hands from being tied. I almost hope that if they release Brunell, they do it before March 1st then that 3.1 won't be hanging over them next year (which looks to be a much more challenging year from a cap perspective. I see Portis gone after '07).
