1. The whole deal about the the Skins needing to play with 10, 25 rookies, whatever it was without the CBA, was completely BOGUS. Totally unfounded in reality. The Skins were not THAT bad off. They would have been under the cap even without the new CBA.
2. The contracts are backloaded. This is pretty obvious. But Snyder has been doing it for years and it never has caught up with him. The idea that he is throwing away the future is ludicrous. He would not being doing this if that were the case. All the guys he is signing are younger players, this is not 2000 all over again. They are also all very long deals, which makes the total dollar amount look like alot more.
If you guys really want I will look around for some nice posts explaining this all, I think I could probably find some.
Bottom line is the Skins were NEVER in real "cap hell," and they never have been, which makes it seem to me like they know how to avoid it. If what Snyder was doing was really crippling this team's future it would have caught up to them by now. I dont know exactly how he does it, but hes obviously figured something out.

So (and this is a real question, not a rhetorical one) what big signing has Snyder done in the past few years that was heavily backloaded that is near completion? The reason I ask this is because if a player that is heavily backloaded in contract is cut from the team the backloaded contract amount accelerates against the current year's cap. In other words, if nobody has made it near term yet you're not going to see the true "salary cap hell" that has been described but it will happen either because of the contract or the acceleration.
I really don't know what the Redskins' cap looks like currently but I suspect if they're going to try to trade their way out of this before the next deadline they aren't going to get much in return or if they are trying to cut some big paychecks out they're going to run into trouble getting back under.
I don't think Snyder has figured out some magical way of getting around this...
ehh, from everything I read is that they were 4 million over the proposed 94 million cap that would have been in effect. Funny, cause that is the amount arrington bought back. They were that bad off,to spin otherwise is just that.
As for El, I am not gonna slam him as he has talent. On the other hand, reggie brown put up better stats than he did. He had what? 35 catches last year?
I don't really care, they still need someone to get these guys the ball.
Yea the magical way is push it forward till the point there will be a new cba...
The opening scene of the movie "Saving Private Ryan" is loosely based on games of dodgeball Brian Dawkins played in second grade.
OK, here's a very good article about how the Skins "do it." Its a few days old, written before the weekends rash of signings, but you can see how they would have fit in. Enjoy!

There's an awful lot of "could"s and "if"s in there.
Well, sure. They dont have to do all those thigns if it isnt necessary. Its not "ifs" as in "if" its possible, its ifs as in "ifs" its necessary, or "if" they want to.
