Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Gibbs is back. But Casserley isn't. That's what's missing.

The amount of dead money on our cap right now is reflective of mistakes that happened in the past. The key thing is, these past GM decisions were made by Spurrier, Snyder, and Schottenheimer.

The person making the decisions now is Gibbs, and hence I think we can expect the dead money situation to improve in coming seasons. Sure, he has the occasional mistake of Mark Brunell - though after seeing his arm the other night, maybe he's still useful - but let's still consider Brunell a mistake just for the sake of argument:

Coach Gibbs Acquisitions:
Sean Taylor - Hit
Chris Cooley - Hit
Cornelius Griffin - Hit
Shawn Springs - Hit
Walt Harris - Hit
Joe Salavea'a - Hit
Philip Daniels - Neither hit or miss (has been hurt, but doesn't cost much)
Clinton Portis - Hit
Mark Brunell - Miss so far
Mike Barrow - Miss, but costs little

We'll See about:
Carlos Rogers
Jason Campbell
Casey Rabach
Santana Moss
David Patten

Guys Gibbs Traded Away or Let Go:
Champ Bailey - Denver sure didn't get their money's worth last year. Tatum Bell, the guy drafted with that 2nd pick we gave them, isn't even cracking the starting lineup. Mike Anderson has been named the starter.

Laveraneus Coles - we'll see, but I don't like his chances with the busted toe.

Fred Smoot - we'll see - considered inconsequential if Rogers and Harris pan out.

Antonio Pierce - we'll see, considered inconsequential if Lemar Marshall or any other MLB pans out.

If you're going to cry about the dead money we have on the cap now, then all you're doing is crying about the mistakes Spurrier and Snyder made in the past. I wouldn't change the Coach Gibbs system because of GM problems before he got here. Gibbs is the solution, not the problem.
