big cap hit, but that room was cleared by Samuels' restructuring his deal.

I'm glad they're not going crazy this offseason.

The Redskins FO may not be going crazy this offseason, but we are!

The one move I had hoped that they wouldn't make this year, is the offer to Ray Brown! Last year, I wished they would have dropped Ade Jimoh! I'm going to be 0fer2!

Everything else seems to be a supreme effort to balance the books toward next year. Biting the bullet seems to be the FO and Locker Room motto this year!

Mooby:

Here's the Skins' risk in dragging their feet with a Moss deal. Suppose it is the 9th game of the season and Moss has 55 catches for 1000 yards already. His free agency value has just skyrocketed and at that point there is no reason whatsoever for him to agree to any deal the Skins put in front of him because he can go on the open market and let a bunch of teams try to sign him.

In addition, if Moss is not signed by the end of April, the Skins will not know if they need to spend a high draft pick on a WR or not.

So, my guess is they sign Santana Moss by the end of March to a long term deal. If it workd out, good for everyone. If he does not live up to expectations, it will be another signing bonus to swallow.
