Jansen's Future in Doubt?

Cut him as a prior-to-June 1st, save $2.1 million in 2007, with no dead-cap carrying over to 2008.

Cut him as a post-June 1st, save $5.1 million in 2007, with a dead-cap hit of $3.1 million in 2008.

Thanks Schneed.

I actually though Jansen played pretty good and thought we were set on the offensive line. I think both sides need eachother. If the Redskins were to get rid of Jansen that would be a pretty big hit over 2007/2008, than we would have to dish out a big chunk of change to get a replacement -so to the Skins that would be a bad thing. Plus the Skins would have to get a new guy to learn all the schemes/plays - so from the Redskins perspective I think they would want to keep him.

From Jansens perspective I think he sees himself as worth more to the Skins than another team because the Skins want to keep continuity on the line and go into next season not having to wait a half a season(guess here) or more for the line to get used to eachother. Also, as many have pointed out other teams are probably a little scared to dish out big bucks on a player with an previous achilles injury and if Jansens agent is any good he would probably tell Jansen the same thing - that it would be in his best interest to work out a new contract.

Finally wouldn't staying in the same system with the same lineman be to Jansens benefit? If he went to a new team wouldn't he have to relearn that teams scheme and his fellow linemens tendencies? Plus would Jansen want to displace his family when he probably is on his last contract and has 3-5 years left?
