No big deal, of course, except it makes me look stupid. Madieu Williams just signed for a ridiculous 5 years at $33 million. Apparently, the owners are in that “Baseball in the 90’s” mood. If Williams is worth $33 million in this market, Asante Samuel has got to be worth $60 million. Frightening. More as [...]

…have done nothing while many teams around us have done lots.
And that’s ok. For a change, we’re not going to rush out and grab every 30 something free agent we can name. It took awhile for Vinny and Dan to get it, and it took cap prison to make it happen, but hear them roar [...]

The incomparable Jason LaConfora has given us the 411 on how we got to basically under the cap. We converted Jon Jansen’s salary to bonuses and Mark Brunell and Rock Cartwright are having their contracts voided. I can’t say I’ll miss poor Mark. Though if he ever wants to coach, I’d offer him a job. Cartwright will be [...]

I don’t know for sure whether this is official, but while I was watching the NFL Network coverage of the combine, the ticker underneath was showing who had space under the cap and then listed us as over the cap by only $103 K.
Really? Woohoo! Considering there hasn’t been any major news of restructuring deals, [...]

You know that mime schtick where they pretend their trapped in a shrinking box? That’s what the press claims cap jail is like. And most people are talking about the Skins as a team in cap prison. It is true that we started this offseason 20 million over the cap, but we have already started to [...]

I promised a story on the Redskins salary cap today but I just couldn’t get it together. Life intervened. I’m sorry. I’ll have it by tomorrow. But for your reading pleasure I think you’ll love this article.
It is not Redskins related. It is not even football related. It is about *gasp* baseball. And it isn’t [...]

I pretty much ignored this when I first read it, but it really gathered steam on ESPN and other outlets today so I can’t ignore it anymore. According to the Post, Drew Rosenhaus is working hard behind the scenes to make a deal for Chad Johnson to come to the Redskins.
Count me as one of [...]

OK, I’ve been weighing all of the Zorn talk in my head the last couple of days and I’m ready to talk about it semi-intelligently. The bottom line? I have no clue, but I’m intrigued and willing to watch. No excited anymore, mind you. But intrigued. There are several parts to this discussion as to [...]

According to ESPN and the Washington Post, the Redskins will announce that Jim Zorn, our recently hired offensive coordiantor will actually become our head coach. No word on what we’ll do for an OC yet.
I’ll reserve final judgment for now. I want to see the press conference and hear the plan for the future. But I’m [...]
