Missin Meast Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 JahBird - I heard he was being cut too, but who cares?? This way we don't have to compete with other teams, and McNabb would have been cut anyways...ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Direction Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Exactly he has all the leverage. If he holds out on restructuring the Skins will release him thus allowing him to go wherever he wants. Not really. Any team that wants McNabb wants him for this year. We could easily keep him until right before opening weekend, thus delaying his integration into a new team. If a team wants him, they want him ready in week one. The only way to get him for week 1, and likely 2 or 3, is to trade for him in the next few days.

MWCREDSKINS Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Good, he needs to go if we aren't keeping him. To bring him into camp would be wrong and unfair to him. Get a 4 from Minnesota and wish Donovan the best save for December 24th. I have nothing against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Can't you only restructure a contract once in a single year? Well, look at the date McNabb was signed to a new contract with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tris Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I asked this in the other tread but since there is a dedicated theard I'll ask here as well...Not sure if this is possible in football, but can a team pick up a portion of a players salary to make a trade possible (go go new CBA)? This is often done in baseball to facilitate trades for players with high salaries. For example, when the Mets traded K-Rod to the Brewers they agreed to pick up some of his salary for 2012 to make sure the deal happens. Since the bonus is an issue could the Skins pick up a portion to make the trade work? Or is re-negotiation with the new team the only option to make this work? If this is possible we should definately do it. It'd be like buying a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 It would be good for McNabb and for the Redskins to part ways this way. Hope it gets done. I don't wish the guy any ill will, just don't see how he would produce here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMU Redskin Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 McNabb will restructure, otherwise Skins can hold him hostage until opening weekend and sabotage his ability to learn a new system somewhere else.

He doesn't have as much leverage as you may think I think you're right. I just hope the Vikings aren't the only ones entering the McNabb sweepstakes. We need to create a market for him so we can recoup something of value - draft pick-wise. ---------- Post added July-26th-2011 at 04:57 PM ---------- And sabotage our ability to get anything back from him. If he does that - he sits. I don't think he's as idiotic as Haynesworth, in that regard. My gut tells me he still wants to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants out of Washington, and he isn't going to delay that train out of town. Im sure he is already on board with his ticket punched. I will say, I am glad he never threw up on the sideline here, like he did in Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect anything more than a 5th, if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Nobody addressed this...I've read before that a player's contract can't be restructured more than once a year. Well, he signed his new contract with us less than a year ago. So is a restructure to assist a trade impossible right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that rule- perhaps he could agree in principle with Minnesota to a restructured deal and then the trade could be completely?

sportjunkie07 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 why do people want to cut him outright?.. he does have value, you drop him and he will be starting for a team within a couple weeks. who of the free agents are better than him, kyle orton, matt hassleback, carson palmer, gimme a break. id hold him until someone gives up something for him.

"more than once a year" should not mean you have to wait a year between restructuring .... I would like to see the exact wording .... If they define year to mean calendar year, you could restructure on Dec. 31st and then restructure again on Jan 1st, but I doubt thats the case ... I think the "NFL year" begins on Mar 1st and ends on Feb 28th/29th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidFan Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I hope this is true but it could also be Shanny's boy Shefty trying to drum up interest from other teams...doing Mike a solid. Polin had that idea and he was the first to report and all others like Paulson, Maesse, JLC all followed Shefty so who knows. They are going to cut Berrian and DL Kennedy....do they still have both Williams DL? anything for depth over a random 5th round pick would be nice.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Brilliant news if we can get something for him. But why in the heck anyone would give up anything for a guy that would eventually be cut anyways, and one who's all but done as a starter in this league is anyone's guess. Frazier's a bigger chump than Childress. ---------- Post added July-26th-2011 at 04:36 PM ---------- I will always like D Mac and wish him well, because he is just a good guy and a classy person.That is rare and goes a long way in todays NFL. Up until the back end of last year I'd of agreed with you. Then we had the very public spat between player/ player's agent/ OC and HC, which was FAR from classy on ANY concerned. Hail.

Mania Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Bonus' dont count against the cap correct? Of course they count against the cap. The difference is a bonus is spread over the life of the contract instead of the full amount in one year. i.e. 20 million dollar signing bonus over the course of 4 years counts 5 million per season against the cap.
