The Redskins salary cap

Agree - Canidate won't do anything to our cap thankfully.

That being said, I want to point out (as the resident a-hole) that we did waste a third round pick for this shmuck.

It wasn't Snyder's fault, this one should be put on Spurrier for thinking that Canidate was the answer at running back.

Canidate actually cost the team a 4th round pick, plus guard David Loverne-- who has done nothing of consequence in his career either before or since. Considering the Rams spent a first rounder on him only a couple of years prior, the Redskins getting him for a 4th-rounder doesn't look so bad-- especially considering he left his signing bonus in St. Louis.

Canidate was the kind of speed back Spurrier wanted, and Snyder went and got him. And of course, hindsight is always 20/20.

...and no need to beat yourself up for being the "resident a-hole"-- you're just the resident ("drift") realist!:cheeky-sm
