SkinSince87 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 While the Redskins have a greater need at linebacker after the release of three-time Pro Bowl selection LaVar Arrington, Carter fits better at defensive end, which could put holdover starter Renaldo Wynn in jeopardy of being cut. The Redskins gained about $4.5 million in salary cap room by reworking the contracts of linebacker Marcus Washington and defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin. But highly paid offensive linemen Jon Jansen, Randy Thomas and Casey Rabach, quarterback Mark Brunell and defensive end Renaldo Wynn haven't renegotiated. Adding Randle El, Lloyd, Fauria, Archuleta and Carter and retaining running back Rock Cartwright and reserve linebacker Khary Campbell (who re-signed yesterday) cost roughly $9 million. Given that the Redskins already were over the cap even after cutting six players, there are some strange economics at work. full article here http://www.washtimes.com/sports/20060314-010610-1179r.htm Please check the forum guidelines for titling threads pertaining to articles.... thanks! ~ Blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktball74 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I am almost positive that Brunell did restructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregpeck99 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I predicted Wynn would be released if Carter were signed and I stand by that prediction. The ends look pretty formidable now. Daniels, Carter, Evans and Clemons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frommd Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I am almost positive that Brunell did restructure. I think the restructure for Brunell was based on the CBA not being ratified. They tore it up once an agreement was reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 1. I dont think that the Times knows what the hell they are talking about when it comes to the cap. 2. You cant replace Wynn with Carter. Carter isnt stout against the run and you have to be to play LDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSchwartz Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well Wynn has been bumped out of the lineup. Daniels will move to LE and Carter will fit in at RE. While Wynn has the versatility to play both inside and outside it seems his days are numbered. He will be one well paid backup DL if he does hang around...

jivelikenice Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 The coaches seemed high on him but I'd much rather have the money to re-sign Demetric Evans and use him as our 3rd defensieve end.....Asge has to be taken into account and Evans has shown some decent upside and versatility with his ability to rush as a tackle...

Isifhan Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 This seems like a lot of speculation to me based on Cap principles they don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow184 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Wynn won't get cut,he would only save us like .1 million in cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinswin Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Wynn showed up in the last two games of the season but still I"m happy to see him go. He's mostly unproductive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwebst1 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I agree with the last sentence of the article.... it just doesn't make sense to me and many other people how they are pulling this off.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMADD Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hmmm... here's what I think I know about Wynn's contract: he's due $1m in salary, his remaining signing bonus counts about $1.5m against the cap. But he's got a $1m offseason bonus due. That could be amortized... but it's pretty much peanuts. He's gonna cost $3.5m against the cap if it isn't restructured, and about $2.7 if it is. Cutting him free up $2m (current deal) or $1.25m (vs. amortized) against the cap. If they cut him, he will still cost $1.5m against the cap (dead money) from his remaining signing bonus. Would you rather have the cap room or Wynn? If Wynn goes, I assume it's because another DE is inbound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita35 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 NOOOOOOO. :mad: I like him and he is great against the run. I knew that bringing in all these new guys would mean that someone would be sacrificed. But oh well. I really hope this is not true but in all actuality, Carter has to replace someone as the starter. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB44 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Given that the Redskins already were over the cap even after cutting six players, there are some strange economics at work. [/i] So the author at least admits he does not know whats going on.I'm glad we cleared that up. and as Old Skool has already said: "2. You cant replace Wynn with Carter. Carter isnt stout against the run and you have to be to play LDE" Wynn will restructure if they want him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggio Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Why would we cut Wynn? If anything the signing of Carter just means we have our third defensive tackle in Renaldo. He played DT in Jacksonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 The WT has NO idea what it is talking about. When we cut the players we were no longer over the cap. In fact it would be IMPOSSIBLE for us to have been since there was a league deadline to get under the cap. Just goes to show you how these writers not only lack the ability to do a tiny bit of research, but common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SylkeSmove Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 It wont happen. Gregg uses 6 to 7 lineman each game(if healthy). To keep them fresh. Wynn fits into those plans. Gregg uses alot of formations...so this will just help us out even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carter23 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 wynn is a locker room leader, loved by the team and the community... heck, watching postgame interviews with him on redskins.com TV he clearly loves us (the fans) and the team.... cutting him would just be another mistake and hurt the chemistry we finally had last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
