SUpartyCommish Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Congratulations on being named the Redskins GM! What would you do in 2008? My $.02: Hire Josh McDaniels as the next head coach. 1. He's from Canton, Ohio 2. Was formerly a defensive backs assistant 3. Has experience running an offense For 2008 the players share of Defined Gross Revenue for the NFL is 57.5%. With total Defined Gross Revenue expected to be $6,455,652,174, each teams salary cap will be roughly $116 million. Currently our cap figure comes to about $136.4 million. Time for the notorious cuts and restructurings. Players to be cut prior to April 2: Phillip Daniels: $2.99 mill. savings Cornelius Griffin: $1.65 mill. savings Shawn Springs: $2.52 mill. savings Marcus Washington: $2.4 mill. savings Total 2008 cap savings from cut players comes to $9.56 million, still $10.84 million over cap. Players restructured via converting base salary to signing bonuses (prorated over the remaining life of the contract) Chris Samuels: $3.5 mill. converted, with a net savings for 2008 of $2.626 mill. Jon Jansen: $3.98 mill. converted, with a net avings for 2008 of $2.985 mill. Clinton Portis: $4.049 mill. converted, with a net avings for 2008 of 3.037 mill. Santana Moss: $2.25 mill. converted, with a net avings for 2008 of 1.688 mill. Casey Rabac: $1.75 mill. converted, with a net savings for 2008 of 1.167 mill. Randy Thomas: $4.38 mill. converted, with a net savings for 2008 of $3.285 mill. Total 2008 cap savings from restructurings: $14.788 million plus $9.56 million from player cuts comes to $24.348 in cap savings! Were now $3,948,000 under the 2008 cap just in time for April 26 and 27. 2008 Draft selections Round 1: OT Jeff Otah, Pitt Round 2: DE Chris Ellis, VT Round 3: To NYJ for Pete Kendall Round 4: To DEN for the Duckett debacle (I wasn't GM then, sorry) Round 5: OT Franklin Dunbar, Middle Tennessee State Round 6: OLB Andy Studebaker, Wheaton Round 7: WR Lance Leggett, Miami Sign the following rookie Free Agents: WR Shaheer Mcbride, Del. State WR Josh Morgan, VT ILB Red Keith, Central Mich. ILB Brannon Jackson, Louisiana Tech. CB Kennard Cox, Pitt. CB Migel Morris, Toledo OG Robert Gustavis, Az. State OG Ryan Poles, BC Resign Eathan Albright, Reche Caldwell, Rock Cartwright, and Shaun Suisham Avoid Veteran Free Agency to keep continuity I'll be back after June 1 with more roster cuts.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I fire the entire staff and start over from scratch. If I'm going down, it's going to be with my own choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hailtotheskins69 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I hire Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato as the laundry boys/janitors. Then hire Ron Meeks as head coach and dominate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go 'Skins!!! Stop sipping that Kool Aid! Your turn.... First off, who takes Washington's spot? The guy was banged up last year but until he proves otherwise, still a gamer. I'd draft someone to replace him but I don't think HB Blades or anyone else for that matter is ready and would do as good as he would this coming year. Secondly, restructuring helps the present cap but it also commits you to that particular player longer. You've restructured four OL contracts (ie given big signing bonuses) and have another big one to sign with your first rounder. I don't think the math for that works long term.

Skinsfor4 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 With the D cuts you made you better draft a DE and a CB with your first 2 picks and probably in that order.We cant overpay for Samuel(NE) or Trufant(SEA).Try and shop Lloyd for any pick you can get. As for coach,Mooch would be a good fit with the staff in place already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 1. Hire an out of work circus midget 2. Have him receive cosmetic surgery so that he looks like Dannyboy 3. Tie Dannyboy up in Bubba Tyer's workshed 4. ???? 5. Profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightbird Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ummm, so after you're through, our Defensive Tackles are Anthony Montgomery, Kedrick Golston, Lorenzo Alexander and Ryan Boschetti? Eeep. And our corners are Fred Smoot, Carlos on one knee, Leigh Torrence and John Eubanks? Duupe. Oh right, and our linebackers are London Fletcher-Baker, Rocky (whenever his knee feels right), and.....Godfrey? Blades? Ummm, where's Anthony Trucks? Congrats, sir, you just gutted our defense. Oh, and we lose a 4th rounder next year for kendall, not a 3rd this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsroc Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Geez! I would hire Bill Cowher, keep Cartwright, get rid of all the quarterbacks but Campbell and keep Collins. Then, tell Danny and Vinny to go clean the women's restrooms that are always out of paper and flooding the stadium! Great service for the high bucks we pay! I am totally disgusted after numerous years of being a season ticket holder. He has certainly ruined the relationships and morale the team had before Gibbs retired! Just like Cruise, he loves the limelight and is holding off so he can be mentioned during the SuperBowl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 #1 Fire Vinny #2 Tell you that we have our 3rd round pick and the 4th lost is from Kendall. #3 Get under the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corrupt3d Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 First I'd hope you all knew which draft picks we lost. we dont have our 4th this year and our 4th next year. if you wanna be GM, at least know that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Anonymous Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 if i was appointed GM due to my awesome franchise management skills on Madden, I would bring in Stephen Hawking to bring us this lineup - all in their prime. Scouting - Bobby Mitchell (SHOULD BE THE GM!!!!) HC- Joe Gibbs (first time around) OC - Paul Brown (early version of WC offense and Coryell offense) DC - George Allen O-line - JOE BUGEL - now, then need I say more? D-line - Dexter Manley LB's - Wilbur Marshall CB's - D. Green S - Pat Fischer RB's - Riggo or Bobby Mitchell ST's - Brian Mitchell as long as he could never talk to Danny or the media Also, I would call Vinny to buy the naked pictures he has of Danny at that one frat party at UM in the 70's so I could share the same job security he has. That and I want a team of trained assassins in case Monk gets screwed from the hall again. I'm waiting for the phone to ring Danny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejaydana Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 so we don't have a 3rd AND a 4th this year? Sheeeeeet! I thought we only parted w/a single pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 so we don't have a 3rd AND a 4th this year? Sheeeeeet! I thought we only parted w/a single pick. We don't have a 4th due to TJ Hooker, er I mean Duckett. Pete Kendall's draft choice comes due in 2009 because he played more than 75% of the offensive snaps.
