EVERYONE outside of D.C. believes that eventually you have to pay the pied piper if you spend without concern for the salary cap. I tend to agree. Doesn't anyone know that our constant restructuring of deals has left us with the possibility of losing Samuels this offseason? Yes, Samuels. The guy is carrying a monster cap figure and has repeatedly refused to restructure his deal after doing it to his rookie deal twice.
The bottom line is that $5 million in dead space for one player is HUGE. We could go out and get an ALL-PRO Defensive Tackle or End for that amount. If anyone thinks that's insignificant, they'd better think twice.

You know what's so frustrating about the offensive line is there are veterans who are not playing up to the potential. I mean Randy Thomas, Chris Samuels and new comer Derrick Dockery are big and strong enough to move a boulder. So why aren't they winning the war at the line of scrimmage? Eight men in the box could be one reason,but not on every down.
