No.

The first post in this thread says:

I'm going to list the ways to get the cap number down. You can debate the merit of making certain moves on this list, but if we don't cut a certain player, you can bet we'd restructure them, which would also save some money.

In other words, it's a list of all the ways to reduce this year's cap figure. It shows that we can get as much as $27.4 million under the cap, if we make all the moves. However, we could make only some of the moves and get to $20 million under the cap. Or even fewer of the moves, and get to $15 million. Or even fewer of the moves, and get to $10 million. The options are limitless.

The purpose of the thread was to show that when writers like Peter King, who aren't trained in accounting and who say we're headed for cap hell, that they don't know what they're talking about.

OK, if the moves are as easy as you say ,then why don't other teams in the NFL do the samething as the Skins.My question does what they(the Skins) do with the Cap reflect to what happens on the field of play?

Question 1, other teams don't do it because either they build through the draft and hence never find themselves over the cap in the first place, or they don't have the cash on hand to hand out big signing bonuses each season. There's an advantage to being one of the most highly valued franchises in sports. But all teams can do the exact same thing if they chose.

Question 2, cap management does not reflect what they do on the field of play. But it does allow them to keep core players together, even when supposed "experts" say the team will have to break up.

Since you're a non-believer, would you like to place a bet that the Skins will not have to dismantle their team because they're $20 million over the cap?

I'll gladly take you up on any bet you want. I'll take a picture of myself wearing a Redskins cheerleader outfit while bending over taking it up the rear by a dildo that says NYG on it, if you want. Care to reciprocate?

Touche.

But go ahead, name it. I'll agree to whatever you want. Five thousand dollars, an embarassing photo, posting pictures of the naked wife, you name it you got it. Let's see you put your money where your mouth is, since you know so much about it. What say you?
