he's a body and that's what SM loves...big bodies.  oh, and wait, depth in the trenches without a lot of guranteed $...i say well done.  running a 3-4, you're not looking for stars on the dl.  you're looking for depth so you can continuously run out the horses.  i like this signing.

The signing is certainly not a good sign for Stephen Bowen, the veteran defensive end the Redskins signed in 2011. Bowen has a large salary cap figure. According to Overthecap.com and other sources, Bowen is at 8,020,000 with a base salary of 5.4 million. 
 
The Redskins can save the 5.4 million on their salary cap by releasing Bowen, which has been expected. 
 
The question then becomes is this: What does this mean for Barry Cofield? Also, what does this mean for unrestricted free agent, Jarvis Jenkins?
 
Cofield, has a base salary of 4,550,000 which the Redskins can save under their cap, while incurring a dead money charge of around 3.5 million. Bowen would count for 2.52 million in dead money against the cap in 2015 assuming that neither is designated a post June 1st release. 
 
In essence, the Redskins can create nearly ten million dollars worth of cap room by releasing both Cofield and Bowen, with the addition of Francois. 
 
If they release both, they would have a combined dead money hit of around six million dollars. In essence, the Redskins would save a net cap total of about nine million dollars if they release both, compared to what they were going to cost in 2015. 
 
Jenkins has not responded to a few text messages from ESPN 980. Bowen is on vacation with his family. Multiple sources have told ESPN 980 that Cofield would not be open to taking a pay cut if the team asked.

Yawn!  Seventh round pick in the draft in 09, bolted to the Colts after his stint with 49ers, they cut him after 2 years into a 4 year contract probably after realizing maybe he wasn't what they thought he was, started for the Colts because someone was injured, and 8.5 sacks in 5 years in the NFL.  Sounds pretty much like what we have now.
