The balance of cost, when we appear to have limited cap space without making other moves, and unknown production off the ACL make it a no from me. Much like Anthony Walker we are 2 years too late on these players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Holcomb can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 of course the Eagles. The Eagles are what Cerrato once dreamt to do with Dan back when Dan was willing to spend money -- but the difference is the Eagles FO is competent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballZombie Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) The addition of Nick Martin and the new DT drops us below 3 Mil in cap space As long as we cut somebody who has no dead cap, we may get 600K back when B-Rob comes back. Unless we cut or restructure someone of consequence, we are against a wall here. If we lose another starter we will practically have to give somebody a new contract to facilitate replacement moves to avoid a natural disaster. Payne would prob be the most likely candidate. It has to be someone w/ a significant cap hit this year. If we ever needed a "stay healthy" stretch, this is it Edited September 21, 2022 by FootballZombie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is he’d be on the field over Holcomb and our HC/DC seem intent on making sure he continues to play despite him playing poorly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a guy you keep around and he's still 29. Probably has at least a couple good seasons remaining in him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was at Illinois State for four years prior to that (one of which was redshirted) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year, it seems that we lack cap money. Just another frustrating aspect to being a Washington fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel I could just about see given he’s started the season well. Jackson is in the same position as Fuller for me. On the bubble for 2023 so I wouldn’t push money out on his deal. 13 hours ago, method man said: Schweitzer would probably save a bit of money. He's a guy you keep around and he's still 29.

That would be a low risk move to create between say 2-3mil in space, if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but I think they can tweak Jackson's contract without having much of an impact if they release him after the year. Jonathan Allen's contract could be tweaked as well, I think.

But if a player thinks there is a possibility they will get released after the season, they are not going to agree to the modification unless they think they will get some benefit for agreeing to the modification.

I think some of these contracts have roster bonuses. You can turn those into guarantees and save cap room. I think. We only need like an extra 5 mil to bring in a solid LB, a backup DT and a depth CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's less about OUR interest in JPP than it is about his lack of interest in us. Look at the teams he's rumored to have interest in-- Ravens, Eagles, Chiefs. One common denominator-- all three are either playing like, or are expected to be, serious contenders for a championship. For many players reaching the twilight of their careers these decisions become less about money. It is the sacred and noble quest for one last run at a ring, before retiring that, for some, becomes their all consuming goal. Until we actually start consistently winning, to outside observers, we are at best, a middle of the road team with no serious title prospects.

Koolblue13 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Yall talking about scrambling around to push whatever money we can into the future, so we can sign the last of the FAs off the heap and for what? We'll run what we brung and do the best we can and then load up next offseason. Our offense is pretty set minus some IOL depth. Save the money for our SB run next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
