Thanks Elway and Denver for stepping in front of that bullet for us.

That would have given the Redskins about $42 million spent on QBs in 2019....brilliant plan

Who would have thought going into the season with Colt as the starter is probably the most realistic and smart scenario at this point.

Even if the team mortgages the future again for a 1st round QB, it makes sense to let him learn the offense behind Colt for a stretch.

Everybody knows full well that Bruce & Co. can totally make the situation worse for the team both this year and in the future by drafting stupidly (bad pick trades and reaching) and in free agency.

The skins were never real bidders, they can't afford Flacco or foles. People need to realize it's going to be Kyler or Daniel Jones as QB1 come Sept.

Never say never. This situation reminds me of the salary cap penalty years of 2012-13 (obligatory fuck John Mara) where we lost 18 million each year. With the increase of the cap every year the percentages lost were way worse in 2012/13.

Salary cap
2012: 120.6mil
2013: 123 mil

18 mil penalty each year:
15 percent of the cap in 2012
14.6% of the cap in 2013.
---------------------------------------
Est. salary cap for 2019: 191 mil
Alex Smith cap hit 20.4 mil
10.6% of the cap to AS.

Schneed will probably clean up my math here in a bit, but I don't think I'm way off the actual percentages. If we release AS that number goes way up because the rest of his guaranteed money adds to the cap hit.

Will it hurt? Definitely. Is it crippling? No, because we can still trade our next 3 first rounders for Kyler Murray .

Do the math, Flacco was never going to happen

And thank god he didn't. He's not any good anymore, he was benched for a QB that cant pass...

Just the fact that the Redskins tried tells me they're delusional. This has Bruce Allen DNA all over it.

I don't think doing a due diligence is end of the world. Maybe Flacco wanted to stay in the DC/Baltimore area. With our current qb situation it's dumb not to check any potential players.

I agree, big difference between putting out a feeler for a player and actually making a push to trade for him.

How about a TE......TE's are becoming an important piece of today's offence.

Today's? Lol

[Tedskins]

I wouldn't be shocked if Flacco does well with the Broncos. Made a home run hire in Munchak as their OL coach who will greatly improve the pass protection. When Flacco has time to throw, he can do some damage. He will also greatly benefit from their new QB friendly system (Kyle Shannahan's).

What is the cap hit if we cut Jordan Reed and his $9.7M salary? He is 5% of our cap and it is a 100% chance he will be hurt next year.

$3.6 million dead cap hit.... and about $6 million dollar savings

So the choice of cutting a concussion prone TE that cannot block and misses more games than not or an athletic ILB that played through injury last year. The decision is easy.
I am intrigued to see Brown and Rueben Foster play together in behind our formidable Dline.
