Got my hopes up for nothing.

To clarify it I asked Tandler directly. He said;

Rich Tandler ‏@Rich_TandlerCSN
@RedskinsCult59 As noted in the post, nobody knows what their plan is. I was outlining possibilities.

stupid me for not fully reading his article

No. Stupid him for misleading in his tweet prior to making his article available. You can't read an unavailable article. There's a big difference in the meanings of those 2 words- will/could in this context.

I never said anything the first time but...

He never said "will". He said "will be able to", which means could.

Seems like Redskins is in favor of cutting Hall instead of restructuring his contract

Schefter: Redskins May Cut DeAngelo Hall - Hogs Haven

Huh???

That doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense. To say someone WILL do something leaves no other alternative. They are doing it regardless. To say someone WILL BE ABLE TO means they can if they want to. There is no definitive must do action associated with that. Will be able to does not mean they will absolutely do it.

Rich Tandler never once said they are making those cuts with 100% certainty, he said those cuts are available if they want to make them. There is a huge difference between the two.

I think Hall is as good as gone. He can talk all he wants about wanting to stay with the skins and pushing for the superbowl, but in the end, I see him taking the money elsewhere.

He will prolly get between 5-7 million a year somewhere else, no way he signs here for under 5. I just can't see it. His play was VERY good the last 9-10 games of the season. He's gonna get his money. His contract looks too difficult to restructure with what we need, and the amount we have.

Next man up.

I don't think he'll get that. Guy gave up the 2nd most yards amongst NFL corners last year.

5-7 million? Bet he doesnt!

Who do we send the thank you card to for cutting Hall? Allen? Shanahan? Both?

He's not gone just yet...

He has to be. There are very few ways to put a roster together next year unless Hall is either gone or making less than $2.0 million. He'll either get a gigantic paycut or will hit the road.

Yet is the keyword. I'm just trying to get the thank you cards and baskets prepped.

By the way, I think that the Paulsen and Young signings are the signal that we've given up the cap penalty fight. All along they've been telling agents to sit tight while they fought the penalty. Well agents clearly aren't sitting tight now that a few players are signing. It's over, time to take the medicine and gear up for player investment next season.
