Current Redskins Salary Cap Status - 2009

CBA no CBA. I guess I'm confused even after all the banter about it. I thought if the CBA was going by the way side then we would have only one year, 2010 to worry about. Then in 2011 all teams could spend as much money as they liked due to no CBA anymore. It was my understanding that if we could make it past the 2010 year we would be good.

You've got the concept right, you're just off by a year.

The CBA is set to expire in 2010, which would mean 2010 would have no salary cap at all and we'd be free to have as much salary on the books as we wanted.

But that means 2009 becomes the Final Capped Season, and as such specific rules governing contracts and cap allocation methodology are in effect.

Great thread Schneed. My sheets are ok but it's your analysis that really gives them value. Thanks for all the hard work.

My personal view is that:

- Taylor is gone or severly restructured (minimum salary and a very small signing bonus and/or incentives)

- Potential cuts: Washington, Griffin, Rabach, Daniels are all cut candidates. Doubt all would go but if the Skins do commit to some kind of youth movement (stop laughing) they are all candidates.

- Springs - the guy breaks my heart. One of the best corners in the NFL but he just doesn't play enough. I gave him a pass last year on some of the lesser games (Det, etc.) but he's gotta be in that 2nd Dallas game. He is definitely looking for one more significant deal which may explain his propensity for sitting out games. One bad injury and he would never play again. It seems like he plays just enough to show other teams he can still play but not enough to risk injury.

Maybe if we give him a decent deal he will finish his career here and actually play all the games, but it doesn't seem likely. The right move for the future might just be to let him go...

Also I think Jansen will stay but he would have been a perfect June 1 cut.
