No offensive lineman is worth a $10M cap figure. A QB maybe, but not an offensive lineman no.
I am starting to get sick of the Redskins poor handling of the cap. Every year we are overspending our future and ask good, loyal players to take a pay cut, so we can compensate for our poor planning.
Samuels and Arrington's big cap numbers is money that is owed to them because they agreed to help the team out by taking a lower cap number early in their career/contract, in exchange for a big payday later in their contract. However when the time comes for the big pay day, the Redskins (and other NFL teams) say sorry we have no cap space, either take a pay cut or get cut. They do this because the Redskins live in a win now at whtever the cost in the future.
In the real business world your credibility and your business would be ruined if you behaved like that. However, since the NFL lives and works in a Monopoly situation, they can do whatever they want, and tell the talented, loyal players to f*#* off.
