The Salary Cap & Free Agency 2009
I'm starting this thread as a place to hold any new information from news & insider sources regarding the Redskins' likely approach to free agency, which of course goes hand-in-hand with the current salary cap status. If you read/hear anything, feel free to post here.

Re: The Salary Cap & Free Agency 2009
That note from JLC jives with what I'm seeing in the salary cap numbers. The Redskins could make a splash in free agency if they really wished, but doing so would require the team to part ways with several veteran players.

I would love a starting RT with the 13th pick. Fingers crossed.

Re: The Salary Cap & Free Agency 2009
I still think they'll make one or two (probably just one) big free agent move. But most of their efforts are going to be spent stockpiling on draft picks in 2009, even if that means sacrificing picks in future years. This is a make or break year for Cerrato and he's not really going to be thinking that much about 2010 or beyond if he's not going to be running the football ops here anyway.

But there is a lot of buzz that he may just be gone altogether. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that he probably said "if I'm not on the football side, I don't know there's a place for me here." I don't know all the specifics. The problem is that no one really knows what the metrics are for it be considered a successful year for VC in 2009. Only Snyder really knows I suppose.

Re: The Salary Cap & Free Agency 2009
Cerrato himself said in an interview that he and Zorn had TWO years. This is the start of year two. I see no reason why Cerrato would volunteer that he only had two years if it wasnt the truth.

Re: The Salary Cap & Free Agency 2009
But I don't count Snyder and Cerrato among my friends, so my "insiders" are only so inside

Re: The Salary Cap & Free Agency 2009
the biggest factor is how close the people calling the shots think the redskins are to being a upper echelon team. hopefully, they aren't fooling each other
