Looks like Skins are $10 mil over cap next year, who goes?

[paulskinsfan]

"Early word is that the official cap number for 2006 will land somewhere between $92 million and $95 million per team, up from $85 million this year and higher than the previously anticipated range of $89 million to $90 million.



Even at $95 million, several teams need to trim more than $20 million in 2006 payroll. The Jets and Raiders each exceed $120 million, and the Broncos have more than $118 million committed to next season.



The Chiefs are at $114 million, and the Redskins are at $112 million."

The above quote is from profootballtalk.com. So, knowing this who goes and who stays? I think Hall goes, Phillip Daniels goes, Taylor Jacobs but who else? Im not a capologist, but there are those on here who are, so who do you guys think is going, restructuring, etc.

I'm not sure what the contract numbers are, but I would have to guess the following may not be here next year.

Reynaldo Wynn or Phillip Daniels?
LaDell Betts (maybe out)
Patrick Ramsey (though I'm not sure how much cap space he's eating up)
Warrick Holdman (again, probably not eating us much cap)
Matt Bowen


Beyond that, you have to figure they will restructure some deals to make that number fit.

According to the cap figures on this website:
Wynn = $3.45 million
Daniels = $2.6 million
Ramsey = $3.38 million
Betts = $810k
Holdman = $0k
Bowen = $2.4 million

Samuels and Lavar are our two biggest hits. I don't see Lavar restructuring. Samuels maybe, but he has another 6 years on his contract and I haven't heard his name mentioned.

The cap info on this site is also old, I believe and still takes into account LaVar's $6.5m roster bonus for 2006. This has been changed to $3.25m bonus in 2007, so his cap number looks a lot better.

Additionally, ESPN reported recently that the 2006 cap is expected to be approximately $100m. I honestly think that we are not in terrible shape, though some trimming of the fat is always good so we can go after free agents.

Samuel just signed a longterm deal, he is not going to restructure. LaVar may restructure his roster bonus to signing bonus which could create some room. Trading him isn't an option if they are that much over the cap now, but remember there is a possibility there isn't going to be a cap next year if the CBA isnt signed.

Both of whom if we can save significant cap room should be gone, neither has remotly played up to their contracts.

Dude, are you kidding. Samuels and Jansen have played as good or better than two any tackles in the league. And lets not get into the LaVar thing again. He is a very good LB and want to be in washington. I dont see how you can say either one of these have not played up to their contracts. that just crazy.

Ummm.....homerism aside, I think both Samuels and Jansen have had average years with spurts of dominance. But I think they've pretty inconsistent as a tandem.

That being said, I'm gonna sound like I'm contradicting myself, their run blocking has been pretty solid. (see Portis)

LaVar?? Well, he can't play up to anything if he's not been on the field.

Jansen has had a stellar year, with two broken thumbs. In point, 1 penalty all year long, a false start in week 5. Samuels not quite as good, but solid.

I think Noble, Bown, Raymer or Friedman will be gone altogether.

Friedman has already been released to make room for Antonio Brown's re-signing.

[bertoskins]

cut the following
1. patten
2. ramsey
3. wynn
4. holdman
5. john hall
6. bowen

[onlydarksets]

Hall and Harris are no-brainers. Bowen might be as well.
