instead of only 4 years to pro rate salaries,you could jack up the players salary to say,10 million for the uncapped year instead of giving a bonus without any problems?

if you make the playoffs your ability to get free agents is seriously impaired and there's some 30% salary increases and such to prevent that.

If you don't make the playoffs I think you can, during the uncapped year, sign the huge SB/one year salaries and have trailing years of vet min...

ugh here we go again

PS - 56fanatic, I don't want to rehash this entire argument again. I think it's great that you have a general understanding of how the salary cap works, but the important thing is to understand how those principles apply to the Redskins. The only way this discussion gets anywhere is if we take a look at the Redskins cap projections. If you want them to stop renegotiating bonuses, you must have an idea of when the cap consequences will come due. When?
