Without an extension to the agreement, the Redskins face several complicated contract renegotiations to comply with the salary cap by next Friday, the official start of the free agency signing period.

CowboyinDC Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Question for the cap gurus -- is the 30% rule in effect right now? Or does it not go into effect until after 3/1?? All curent contracts are already in compliance with the 30% rule. Whenever they drafted up a contract that went past 2006 they took it into account.

Eagle091 Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/24/AR2006022401722.html Smith noted that every NFL team is facing the same issues as the Redskins because of the league's labor uncertainty. Washington's problems are magnified, however, because of how much it is over the salary cap and the way it has structured contracts in recent years. "Right now, the [lack of a] CBA [extension] is whipping their backside," said one agent who has held several discussions with Redskins director of football administration Eric Schaffer. The Redskins are expected to release defensive backs Matt Bowen and Walt Harris, tackle Brandon Noble and center Cory Raymer, which would create about $7 million in cap space. They also are expected to trade Ramsey (for draft picks) and cut place kicker John Hall, which would free up $3.2 million more. Defensive end Renaldo Wynn and wide receivers James Thrash and Taylor Jacobs could be sacrificed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr1 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 This thread will look pretty dumb when the CBA is extended. Sorry Eagles fans, the Redskins aren't going to suffer in 'cap Hell.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
