Redskins 2013 Salary Cap Status

I mean, once you accept that the Redskins were kind of cornered into a free agency strategy that was probably the best one to take all along, the cap penalty becomes a non issue. It's negative effects are in the past now, and the Redskins can more or less do whatever they want with the remaining free agents, draft, and trades. Getting the money back now would be awesome for cap rollover purposes, but if you look as the penalty as the thing that forced the Redskins to be disciplined in free agency, I think it was overall a net positives.

This is not an endorsement of every move the Redskins made the last two years (Ced Griff, Trueblood were both pointless money dumps), but the tempered approach in free agency has changed our cap/roster talent situation from the worst in the division, to possibly the best.

I don't agree that the cap penalty was a positive. If the Redskins hadn't had the penalty, I think the FO would have still had a disciplined approach, but the talent level of our FAs would be way higher. The cap penalty forced us to take the mid tier FA approach. Think of the talent we could have picked up if we had had an extra 18 million.

But this is all just:

or think of the future or front-loading of contracts that money could have gone to...

It is really difficult to justify having a Salary Cap to keep things competitive for small market teams when there are perennially losing teams like Cleveland ($33,000,000), Jacksonville ($27,000,000), Tamps Bay ($26,500,000), Cincinnati ($25,000,000) under the cap and refuse to spend. These owner just take the TV money and pocket it. Cheap. It is a disgrace because they do not even try to field a winning team.
Is it not enough that the NFL splits all of the profits evenly among all the owners/teams regardless of how much money generating that team brings to the NFL table? I hear Jacksonville's season ticket holders base is so small it is an embarrassment.

Interesting read.

Cofield's salary is absurd relative to his importance to the defense and performance among DT's league-wide. Can't believe anyone has the gall to bitch about paying Fletcher when Cofield is earning that

Garcon is (still) far too inconsistent a threat to command anywhere near what the FO paid him either. Not just his injury status, which is still a concern, but looking at his overall production in the NFL. Remember, this is a guy who still can't break 1000 yards in a season. Hopefully he rebounds and earns that contract starting this season.

To think we could have paid just a little more this off-season for a guy like Mike Wallace. Argh!

The only team I would not put on that list is Cincinnati, they just do not like spending money on players they do not draft.

Garcon was an elite receiver for us when he was on the field. How quickly people forget his role in the 7 game win streak. He and Griffin together spells a pro bowl berth for Garcon sometime in the next few years.

I very much agree with this. As long as he remains healthy, he'll no doubt remain productive with RG3...

Garçon proved to be a difference maker when he was in the lineup.

I would take Garcon over Wallace everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Garcon is more expensive, but, when he was on the field, we won. He is simply a more versatile receiver than Wallace.

I agree...plus Garcon is actually less expensive than Wallace.

Time and again...you delineate in fine fashion you know absolutely nothing about the game of football lol. I used to just keep you on the ignore list but missed the chuckles.

Just when I thought it was safe to take you off the ignore lists .

I may not have a brilliant football mind. However, compared to the pearls of wisdom that you spew forth, from your "I have a friend in the oil business in Denver", to your inability understand the role of the read option in the Skins offense, to your Gaffney man-crush and incessant and obtuse belief that Garcon was a mistake, I am a f'ing football savant.

but back to the numbers.

In 2013, Garcon's YAC was 6.77 and Wallace's was 4.2. 60% of Garcon's catches went for first downs compared to 52% for Wallace.

On top of that, Garcon has consistently been cited for bringing a toughness to the WR core and transforming its attitude. Wallace? Tell me when anyone has said that of Wallace.

Back to the ignore list for you.

awww man, I totally forgot about that classic

This system is sooo F-ed up. How can the NFL's #2 leading rusher get paid $500K? RB's take a beating and average career is 2 to 3 years. With the way we are using Alfred Morris there may not be anything left in the tank when his second contract comes up. There has to be a way pay him more money. Again it all comes back to this piece of shit Salary CAP! The system should provide a way for a rookie 6th round pick that is suddenly thrust into the starting line up and is top 5 in a big category to make a extra scratch in the form of a bonus. Like wise if a piece of shit like Haynesworth plays hard for a big contract then stops trying, that guy should take a cut. Pay for play system. The current system is broken.
