Len Pasquarelli reports the Skins are clearing cap room to sign Bobby Taylor to bolster their secondary. Your thoughts?

"The Bengals immediately turned their attention to Vincent's former teammate in Philly, veteran cornerback Bobby Taylor, but seemed to be making little headway in attempting to fill its need at the position. In fact, league sources indicated that Taylor is suddenly being wooed by the Washington Redskins, who were scrambling Monday to create cap room."

How will they clear room for him??? If they do, I think it will be close to a miracle!..lol

If true about possible signing B. Taylor, there would have to be some cuts. Larry Moore, Trung Canidate, maybe J. Trotter.

By cutting Larry Moore (now expendable since the signing of Cory Raymer and the re-signing of Lennie Friedman), and possibly Trung Canidate and Byron Chamberlain, the Skins could clear nearly $3 million on this year's cap. I'm sure the Skins could figure out a way to tweak Taylor's contract numbers so that they could fit him in.

Of course, they could free up a ton of money if Chris Samuels would go ahead and agree to restructure his ridiculous contract numbers...

Re: Samules
Earlier rumors were that the new contract for Portis was a friendly gesture by the Skins to entice Portis and Samuels agent (both have same agent) to renegotiate Samuels contract.
Because the Skins have no leverage to get Samuels to renegotiate.

I thought Portis' agent was the same guy who is the agent of mcgahee and samuels and Ramsey shared a different agent but maybe I misread something.

skinsfanthru&thru:

You are correct. Ramsey and Samuels have the same agent (Sexton) and Portis' agent is Drew Rosenhaus who represents the majority of the U of Miami guys.

Regarding Bobby Taylor:

He was the #2 man in Philly's backfield; Vincent was the #1 guy. Taylor can be spectacular and he can be awful - and sometimes he does that in the same game! He can't start ahead of Springs or Smoot but would be a solid nickel back so that the Skins could play man coverage against three WRs. If your nickel back is Bauman or Jimoh, you are pretty much committed to playing zone against three WRs - or you are taking a big chance of getting toasted.

bye bye trung canidate,maybe bye bye another big name.how much do they have left after NOT signing butler away from the rams?

Defensewins · 03-15-2004, 05:49 PM

Rumor has it they have $3M left under the cap, because of not being able to sign Rams CB. However draft picks will require some cap space as well.

Daseal · 03-15-2004, 05:52 PM

Hrm, we still have to have some room to sign our one pick.

I think we are back to having 2 picks since the deal didn't go through for Butler.

Daseal · 03-15-2004, 05:58 PM

Yeah, redskin. I just expect us to still give up that 5th somewhere.

Carnage · 03-15-2004, 08:16 PM

God this pick would be so typical of Snyder.

Why do you assume it's Snyder behind this??
