Finally, some real news.

I agree, real news is good and I'm glad Samuels decided to restructure.

[FRPLG]

ahh, the yearly restructure cha cha

1-2 re-structure-him
3-4 re-structure-him

We'd win freaking Dancing with the Stars if we could do this dance for it.

So I asked in the (shhh) A.H. thread, but what do you guys think this means? Are we just clearing more space for draft and a few slightly above average FA's or could this, dare I say it, be the signs of a BIG splash? thoughts anyone.

Given the fact that the Redskins are in cap hell again, I would say that this is a typical move and expected.

I think the rumours about AH are having the desired effect. Good to hear something concrete. Good for you Chris.

This is great news, sounds like danny wants to reload this offseason, now Taylor has to restructure his deal (hopefully) cut griffin , cut Jansen, and restructure fletcher, and cut springs, that way we can sign d hall haynesworth and Jason brown !! Yes this could work!!!

Blah. Lengthening the contract of yet another player over 30 years old. Same old same old. Where we are with Jansen right now (massive decline in talent, too expensive to cut) is where we'll be with Samuels in a few seasons. I know, I know, there may not be a salary cap...

Well, Jason Taylor is definitely not taking a pay cut, and cutting Jansen would cost us $2M more than it will to keep him.

Something is brewing at Redskins park.* Regardless of what happens, I can see all the warpathers' minds melting simultaneously.

ill stick up for the skins here. Samuels play has not declined like Jansens. if he wants, looks like he could play another 5 years at a fairly high level. and Ruhskin haven't you learned? the skins are never in cap hell. this is one area the skins have thrived in( cap management)

[freddyg12]

I try to look at the positive side & that is that they do keep their guys & reward them, despite some key guys getting away over the years. I know it's as much about freeing up cap space, but it does allow them to keep good players.

Based on what the capologists have said, I think if they restructure w/some moderation this year while cutting some vets, that would be a good compromise and they can get a couple mid level free agents. Like JLC said, I don't see how they can free up space for AH. If Hall signs somewhere else early, I'll start to believe it's possible though.

Then can't we restructure Jansen so he won't hurt us, or possibly include him in a trade with our 1st round pick to the lions for their 2nd first round pick and more picks, plus Jansen is a Michigan guy, he lives there...I just want Jansen gone

I understand what you're saying but you got to pay to play and signing FA's isn't gonna be cheap.
