I would not be opposed to trading up draft picks, there seem to be a lot of good defensive linemen that we can get anyway.

AA and Taylor will be starting for Skins next year. We need to draft a stud D lineman, CB, or LB with the 6th pick. Hamlin isn't the answer.....

Yes! His Cap # is too large to part ways with him. The Defense as a whole had one of the worst years in Redskins history. AA will be back in the starting lineup next year. 100% guaranteed.

Sorry but you're dead wrong. If he's cut after June 1 we would save about $600k this year with approx. $7M hitting us in dead cap next year.

It can be done very easily.

I'm wrong!!???

What's the better option:

1) Maximizing AA for what the entire coaching staff saw as a major talent for our secondary. Wiping the slate clean and figuring out how best to utilize his talents with Taylor. AA could be a great force for our team next year.

or

2) Cutting him after June 1st. Left with another void to fill with another FREE AGENT. Eating 7million in dead cap the following year.

The decision looks like an easy one if you're a Redskins Defensive Coach.

Yes, you are wrong. You said his cap # was too large to cut him and that's what I responded to. It's not too large to cut him as I and many others have outlined many times before on this subject.

7 million in dead cap the following year is too large to handle. You only do that when the player is so bad or such a problem its not worth seeing his face another year.

Is AA at that point in your opinion?

Do you not see a scenario where he bounces back and starts?

I can!
