I just picture Stephen Jones crying over his maxed out AMEX and making deals with Indian pay day lenders to get us inside the cap 4 years from now. I'd like toe see an outlook on the amount of dead weight we're likely to carry into the oncoming years.

We're still paying for Miles Austin.

Did we designate him as a June 1st cut? That's the only reason I can think of that he would still be on our books. It's also why I hate the concept of using the June 1st designation.

You pay one way or the other for mistakes. Either in real year cap money or dead money.

I prefer paying as you go, which is hopefully what we do. But that only works if you draft well and do not overreact to singular career years and understand that yes, players to exceed expectations when they know they are due for a new contract.

That's correct. Using a June 1st cut just is a way of kicking the bucket down the road with regards to the cap hit. Which I actually don't have as big of a problem with as some people but by the time the extra cap room is created after June 1st, there really isn't anyone to sign anyway.

Why would anyone kick a bucket down the road? Wouldn't they go with something a little more manageable... like a can?

Kick the bucket means dead, but maybe that is just me.

Maybe he was referring to dead money in a very cryptic manner?

Nope, should have said can. My bad.

Everyone has been predicting the demise of the Cowboys and Redskins for years because of the cap. They did the same thing with the Niners back in the early 2000's.

Its really not that big of a deal, outside of signing so- called 'star" players. Which obviously hasn't worked out for us or the Redskins.

1 winning season due to a decrease in his role.

Whine about it some more.

P-push it real good!

[Carp]

No ill will here...he did a good job and I felt like we kept him last year against his wishes, but it looks like it only elevated his value.

Don't have to get your panties in a wad...just stating a fact.

Those sneaky bastards. He is an excellent offensive line coach.

Hired Callahan to do what?

Fix their shitty OL.

Pretty sure that's Callahans way of saying "fuck YOU" to the Jerruh and Garrett.
