Current Redskins Salary Cap Status - 2009

[The Goat]

If we cut Marcus but can't replace him in FA it's either Blades or a rookie starting right? That doesn't sound good. Blades can probably handle it but we def need another solid backup (maybe they see progress in Fincher).

I hear what is being said about Springs importance to the D but jeez he is expensive and if we sign Hall... just a lot of talent in the secondary when the LB corp looks pretty shallow. I'm trying to be objective but have to admit I like Marcus' character over Springs from what I know of the two guys. This is just seems like a bummer situation...

That was the hard part of laying out this scenario, ultimately I don't know who the Skins will decide to part with. It could be Washington, it could be Taylor, it could be Springs, it could be all three.

So it's hard to tell, I'm just going on my best guess.

But if anything, this shows how tight things will be for the 'Skins if we don't get a new CBA. They'll be limited in free agency, and forced to make some tough roster decisions.

Schneed - I think it will be all 3 - why not clear as much space as we can now and make a run at bolstering the lines with young guys? Maybe 1 on the offensive line and one on the defensive line and than draft a couple of lineman and a linebacker. The more you look at the situation the more it seems likely the Skins should cut all 3 as the injuries and age are big time negatives as no other team in the leagus would pay them this type of money. I also say no to restructures on these 3 - lets stop mortgaging the future cap space and get some youth injected into the team.

I get the logic, and if I were running the show I'd probably go this route or something very similar to it.

But Vinny's running it, and based on what I've heard and seen, he likes JT for more than a year, and the team still loves Springs.

Maybe Vinny will surprise us and do the right thing by cutting Taylor.
