Ah, That Explains It

Posted by: daveskins

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 missed, and I’m not sure why we’re cutting him since he was only about half a million against the cap.  Is he that hurt?  Info would be appreciated if anyone has it.

As it is, this was done with very little difficulty and as Jason points out, we have 6 or so contracts we can still rework to go after a WR or Lance Briggs.  Can someone explain why we need Briggs?  I know we have concerns about Rocky being ready to go right out of the blocks next season but HB Blades really looked like he was coming along, and a mid-level LB could be signed as a stop gap.  Why pay a huge amount of money to Briggs and then block Rocky?

Oh well, there are 8 teams with $30 million under the cap.  One of them will get him anyway.

    Cartwright is looking for a new deal worth more than the Skins are willing to pay.

  4. 4. Jeff Says:

    According to the Post, our GM… Err Executive Vice blah blah blah says he has spoken to Rocks agent and signalled that the team would like to have him back. Rock wants to test the waters in FA, but will probably only go for a starting running back job. A job he is not likely to be offered. The coaching staff is expecting/hoping he will be back.

  5. 5. WAYNE Says:

    Well I thought this would be the year The Devil ( Daniel Snyder ) would figure out he cant buy a superbowl or a playoff win for that matter. The whole reason the deadskins dont have any money is because they give it to FA’S that are over the hill. funny where is Jim Zorn’s picture on your site ? lol  P.S. – Maybe they can get thiesmann to come back as quarterback I hear he’s available. lol hahahahahha

  6. 6. gehenna Says:

    Gee Wayne, it’s funny to hear a Cowboys fan talk about playoff wins.  How the heck would you know what it took to get a playoff win? Your team sure doesn’t.

  7. 7. WAYNE Says:

    at least weve won a superbowl since 95 season. When was your last one let me look through my books …..still searching ……… still searching …… 91 wow that was ages ago . hahahaha p.s. – I got two words for you guys – JIM ZORN . HAHAHAHAHA

  8. 8. gehenna Says:

    Oh gee you got me.  That would make you, what, about five when the cowboys won the superbowl? Because the difference between ‘95 and ‘91 is so huge.  Face it, neither team has won in the last decade. At least the Redskins have come close.  We were a botched long snap away from going to the championship game. How about you?

  9. 9. WAYNE Says:

    Close is always what a loser says when he loses. haha keep that championship fresh in your mind because with the puppet ….. I mean Jim Zorn no I mean The Devil (Daniel Snyder ) at the controls its going to be a long time till you come back .  P.S. – At least Jerry doesn’t look like big boy.lol

  10. 10. gehenna Says:

    Jerry doesn’t look like Big Boy.  He looks like a reanimated corpse with bad plastic surgery.  If he goes under the knife any more his nipples will be stapled under his armpits.

  11. 11. justin Says:

    wayne,91 was ages ago but 95 was much closer ?are you retarted?at least we have some playoff wins in the last 10 years.

  12. 12. Godsfavoriteteam Says:

    "RETARTED"….Were you trying to write retarded. Oh yeah, I’m sorry Justin you are retarded. Here, I will write so that you can understand.  Justin good. You friend. No spell okay. You K. A. T. dumb. You friend. Okay this is for everybody else….One more thing for Justin, for now on I will call you RADIO. Remember that movie about the retard that wanted to be part of the football team but he was a retard like you. So for now on You will be known as RADIO. Now I would like to talk some redskin football. I want to talk about my favorite game of last season. Would you believe that it was a redskin game? I’ve brought this up before but when I’m around friends like all of you, I believe we have to discuss the good with the bad. I will discuss the good today.  My favorite game of last year was Redskins against the Patriots.<grin> Does anyone remember this game? This was a battle, this was pure pigskin play at its finest. I could go on and on about this war in the trenches. At half-time the score sat at a whopping 52 – 0 or was it 83 – 0 or was it 91 – 0, 162 -0 anyway it was close. Redskins were still in this one. I was glued to the television, man thank god for HD. I watched this in HD. That made it better. Hey Radio, HD good. you friend. Me Friend. You dumb but good. So anyway, I remember somewhere in the third quarter they showed that savior, the legend, the almighty coach Gibbs waking up from a nap because thats what old people do, they sleep. I saw one of the players mouthed the words, {Coach I think you shit your Pants} I’m thinking around that time Coach Gibbs went to change his depends and when he came back is when the redskins finally scored six. It was so exciting, Especially in HD. By that time this brutal show of force by the redskins had made the score like 221 - 6 or was it 342 – 6 or was it 546 – 6 it was close. I thought to myself if the redskins can just get one more onside kick and another and another and another and another and another and another they pull this one out. There was no way I was changing the channel. "Hell to the redskins!", I was yelling. The best game of the season. <grin>

  13. 13. justin Says:

    godsfavoritecick,you are just pissed beacause a retard had to school you on the correct use for your favorite word mediocrity.<grin>

  14. 14. justin Says:

    you are the only dick to worry about spelling on a blog.but I guess if you dont know the propper use for words spelling is important.<dick>

  15. 15. justin Says:

    I cant believe you douchbags have the nerve to come on a redskins site talking shit with a playoff record record over the last 10 years like you do.beacause the last 10 years would be the most important.after all we would hate to live in the past right?

  16. 16. justin Says:

    I seperated those blogs for you dick I know how you like that now go suck your mommas dick.

  17. 17. gehenna Says:

    Don’t let him get to you, Justin. He’s just trying to get us riled up. Cowboys fans are just surly because they’re worried that Marrion "2nd stringer" Barber may get traded. Not sure why they care; the one game he started he got a total of ONE (1) yard. But hey, I guess if that’s all you have, you don’t want to lose him.

  18. 18. fletcher Says:

    Godsfavoritedick,you have no right to critisize anyone on thier grammer.first of all the symbol for quote is ( )  secondly(and when he came back is when the redskins finally scored six) is redundant.you never follow and when with is when the propper wording would be..and when he came back the redskins finally scored six.thirdly go suck your mommas dick and don’t write back until the cowboys win a playoff game.

  19. 19. dwagner Says:

    OK, people.  We’ve vented on GFT enough now.  Let’s try to keep the language civil or I will do to you what I did to Gayskin.  And before anybody makes the joke, I mean, censor him. :)

    -DW

  20. 20. WestCoastSkins Says:

    If Gibbs were still head coach we would not even be talking about Rock being a free agent right now

  21. 21. gehenna Says:

    I’m not sure I follow. Rock would have stayed if we still had Gibbs on board? Why is that?

  22. 22. WestCoastSkins Says:

    If you ever heard Gibbs talk he always mentioned that Rock was a "True Redskin".  He would not have allowed the front office to let Rock test the free agency.

  23. 23. gehenna Says:

    Yeah, but how many "True Redskins" have we let go over the past five years?  I’m not sure what Gibbs the coach says and what Gibbs the GM does necessarily equate. Especially since Rock wants a rather large raise. 

  24. 24. Godsfavoriteteam Says:

    Hey Fellas, pay no attention to RADIO. He’s an idiot, comes from upbringing. His parents use to work for me, they would give my illegal workers hummers on their lunch breaks. I use to say hey mr and mrs RADIO its time to start blowing my wetbacks and yes everyone of those illegals were Cowboy fans. Hardworking and smart. Clean enough for you DW? I could get alot more evil like the beating you let me take from your cohorts but I ‘ll be nice and just be truthful. Hey RADIO, you good. Me friend. Easy to make mad. Funny HAHA. Me Friend. YOu easy. WhenI read all your replies to me, I was stunned that yall feel that way. All I ever try to do is be nice and you guys are just mean. I understand though, its got to be tough to be frustrated by a team as bad as the redskins. I forgive you all. Hey RADIO, Does it make you mad that the Dallas Cowboys are NFC CHAMPS? Does it make you Mad that the COWBOYS don’t consider the redskins a hard-nosed rival anymore? Does it make you mad that there are no Cowboy fan blogs that question Jerry Jones? Is the Cowboys winning one playoff game really all you got? RADIO, does it make you MAD that you are K. A. T. Dumb?<grin>. Cowboys Forever RADIO! Say that, COWBOYS FOREVER!!!! Hey gehenna, quit comming to the rescue for RADIO. He’s a big Fag…I mean a big boy. Do you have a job? Or a wife? Or a Life? You need help gehenna, you creep. Ok Keep the ugliness comming. Remember, the more evil you are to me the more you LOVE the COWBOYS. AMERICAS TEAM BABY! LEARN IT LIVE IT!!!!……………One more thing next season, since I have season tickets, 1st row, 35 yard line, Cowboys sidline of course, I will put up a sign that reads GEHENNA and RADIO LOVE THE BOYS. Be looking for it. Bye Bros. Godsfavoriteteam

  25. 25. Godsfavoriteteam Says:

    NFC EAST CHAMPS!! Beat ya.

  26. 26. gehenna Says:

    Uh…obviously you’ve never been to Landry Hat (or any other cowboys blog I’ve ever seen for that matter), since they question Jerry Jones on a constant basis.

  27. 27. justin Says:

    godsfavoritedick,the nfc east champs were voided by the real nfc champs the giants.you didn’t do shit.it is all about winning the lombardi trophy and they dont even let you try until you win a playoff game period.so if you are happy with going 13&3 in the regular season and then losing the first game of the playoffs than you can blow jerry jones for filling seats beacause thats all your doing .and if you dont think playoff games are important what the hell do you think they play the game for so they can have jessica simpson for a girlfriend?maybe next year romo will take you to mexico with him and you can blow him to get him ready for the big game.

  28. 28. Godsfavoriteteam Says:

    Blah blah blah. what does that have to do with you being K. A. T. dumb? Where is all your glorious anger? I love it that I got to you and now your trying to be civil. Its hilarious. Tell your parents the job is still open if they want to come back. One more thing RADIO, you make no sense. Your command of the english language is funny. I’ll bet your from another country. Yeah thats it. You must be Arab or Indian or at least brown right? I knew it. Everybody, I figured it out. RADIO is brown in addition to being retard. No wonder your mom and dad love mexican Knob.

  29. 29. justin Says:

    godsfavoritecick,I am 100%american,my fathers father is 100% lakota.so we are real americans the cowboys are not americas team.I would be glad to be mexican if the alternative were to be a racist redneck asshole like you.your last blog did not even mention football?you hate the fact that you have not won a playoff game in 11 years and we have won a couple.so you make up some bullshit.this is a football( redskins football)site. so until you win a playoff game(which in case no one told you is the point in the N.F.L. )everything you say is just that bullshit.

  30. 30. Godsfavoriteteam Says:

    Your too easy.<grin>

  31. 31. OlFletch Says:

    Great point Justin, why is this douchebag even frequenting the Redskins website, unless he is a traitor?What a weakling, poor little guy, doesnt even know who he wants to root for.

  32. 32. OlFletch Says:

    The more that I read, the sadder I get, poor little guy. First off [deleted] for brains, it’s blasphemous to even mention God, and the poobutts together (I hope that a good, God-fearing douchebag such as yourself knows the definition there stupid). Second, yes it has been eleven years since your "boy’s" (another man-lover reference mede by the douchebag) have done shit in the playoffs. So just shut the [deleted] up, and go lay back down with your mammy and play with her [deleted] untill she nod’s off in your loving arms.

  33. 33. Godsfavoriteteam Says:

    I love it<grin> keep it comming Cowboy Fans. All of you are too darn easy. Hey DW I’m takin some pretty heavy Shiznit over here, But I guess since they love the Forskins you letm say whatever huh? Thats ok, I like you, you have sweet control, no temper, bubba smoove thats who you are. I mean that. Listen friends, you too RADIO. Radio friend. Me friend. You listen ok numb-nuts? I googled Worst Beating in NFL History. Guess who popped up? <grin> lolololololololol. Imagine the most evil laugh. Thats me! December 8 1940. 73 – 0 to the bears. Did dan snyder own the team then?<grin> Thats got to be right. Reminds me of a recent redskin game that I always bring up but none of you seem to want to talk about. Patriots redskins, remember?<grin> the final score was 5432 – 7 or was it 7352 – 7 or was it 9187 – 7 it was close. I watched it in HD. Did anybody else watch it in HD? Fan-fu#kin-tastic! I really thought the redskins had a chance thats why I watched every second…..in HD. Hey Radio, you have HD? HD good. HD FRiend. You MY friend. Okay Cowboy lesson for today is Americas Team Forever! Say that 30 times today. Homework people, don’t let me down. I wanna hear how you did. And seriously folks is winning one playoff game really all you got? Please tell me that somewhere in those [deleted] filled brains of yours you got something else that is worth me haunting this gay blog. By the way, where the hell is Gayskin. That guy needs to write back, do we all agree?

  34. 34. gehenna Says:

    Personally, the game I love to watch in HD is the Giants beating the Cowboys in the playoffs. See, that one was a REAL heartbreaker.  You also have some nerve calling on the moderators after hurling constant personal attacks on people.

  35. 35. justin Says:

    that game took place befor the cowgirls were even a franchise.yes that is right one of the origional nfl teams.the cowgirls never played with leather helmets they dont have the cohones.

  36. 36. OlFletch Says:

    Hey [deleted] I think I’ll call you lil feller from now on. I have noticed more than an unusual ammount of man-lover references, I think you have a little something you are not telling your 300 pound wife. Get the [deleted] out of your mouth, and go back to telling all of your KKK buddies about how "things will be different next year, just wait and see, we’ll get that playoff game". Seriously though lil feller, you and your gowgirls can go back to the [deleted] that is the greater fort-worth area and lay down in the corner and lick [deleted]. 

  37. 37. dwagner Says:

    Hey now, fellas.  I asked once before.  I can’t keep up with editing the colorful language.  I didn’t start a blog to become a censor.  I love the arguments.  I love the activity on the site.  Let’s just try to use a dictionary. Words can be powerful in the right hands.  Let’s use as many new ones as we can. Thanks, oh and God’s Favorite Team, I’m not ignoring you.  Expect a post about the Cowboys and Redskins soon.  I like to get my facts straight before I post. Keep it up, folks.  It is a long, hot summer.

    -DW

  38. 38. Godsfavoriteteam Says:

    Hey fletch! Did you need some attention? I had to poke and prod Radio and gehenna to get some anger but in the end they were soft and easy to manipulate but you come right out of the shute blazin. Your easier and more boring than this franchise. I believe after this post you will be ignored because other than your pathetic attempts making  me angry your more of idiot than Dan Snyder. Everybody knows thats sayn alot right? Also………..hold on while I pull out your mother……….(open your mouth, there you go, show it to me, swallow) ……….also because we got all summer and I only have time for Radio and gehenna. Those two will pat you on the back and support your splooge filled post but be sure that I am ignoring you.<grin> SAy Go Cowboys!!!!!!!!!

  39. 39. gehenna Says:

    GFT, you’re clearly used to handling things that are soft and easy to manipulate. Now I think I know why you’re so fond of Gayskin. Notice how GFT and Gayskin are never on at the same time. You just changed your name, didn’t you? J’accuse!

  40. 40. OlFletch Says:

    Geez little feller, I must have really got to ya that time, oops, that’s one was special for when pappy got done with pumping your ass, my bad. Anyway little feller, this is one can of worms that you dont want to open. You will end up somewhere hudled in a fetal position with your mammy’s nuts in your mouth, while Uncle Jed, I mean Pappy-oh yeah I forgot, texas-who are one in the same roots her on. Go get em little feller, your blogs are about as dangerous as the girls in the playoffs. Keep em comin, so I have someone to make cry. HOW BOUT THEM GIANTS.

  41. 41. OlFletch Says:

    Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I counted two more man/boy lover references in that last one little feller. You should really think about telling pappy that you wish that he would leave you alone down there, or just face reality and enjoy being the little rainbow that you obvlously are. Stop being so angry that Romo cant find a way to hold a snap, or that your girls let Eli and his boys run all the fuck over your tired bloated asses. Oh yeah, and tell uncle Jed, I mean pappy that my toilet’s plugged, and I need to see if he’s free to come clean up my shit on friday. Thanks little feller.

  42. 42. Godsfavoriteteam Says:

    I thought it was LIL feller not LITTLE feller. Thats like lil bow wow or lil gangsta. I like that better. I don’t know if I should be offended by what you just wrote because I didn’t understand any of it. Slow down, think about what you want to write and write again because really bro, I’m being serious, it didn’t make sense. Like (texas-who are one in the same roots her on.) what in gods blue earth does that mean? Also, forget about the commas,we all misuse them but your misuse is just scary. As for the Giants, In case you missed it they won the superbowl. They beat the patriots. That Manning family right? Speaking about The PATRIOTS!! Did I ever tell you about my favorite game of last season? Redskins Patriots. The redskins were so close to pulling this out. Final score was like 10,987,534 – 7 it was so close. I watched in HD. Do you have HD? Its Great!. The struggle and fight that those redskins put up that day was just legendary. <grin>

  43. 43. OlFletch Says:

    Ignoring me huh. Either little or lil feller, glad to see that you are crying.  As for your not getting it, and using the comma’s. Im sorry that pappy beat you out of the third grade (like every team that has played your girls in the post-season for more than a decade) and made you miss simple grammar & punctuation, that is going to make this even funner. I ‘m not going to slow down lil feller, so keep up or get left behind while we laugh at you. texas- roots her on is in reference to your pappy/uncle jed rooting on mammy while she drops the jewels in your mouth and kicks your ass just like the Giants-a wins a win, something your girls have not seen in the post season in over a decade weakling- and texas being where the girls are from and forget the rest, it will just be lost on you. Anyway lil feller, you are obvoiusly part retard, so I am not even going to try waste my time getting to in depth explaining the Eli reference, but it’s more than obvious that you are too stupid to realize the fact that you just defended the family that bitch slapped the girls out of the season. What is up with you and HD? Yeah I have it, I’ve had it for years, oh yeah you are a girls fan, you just scraped enough change from begging on the side of the freeway offramp to be able to affored it. Make sure to tell pappy/uncle jed to make sure to remember my shit too.

  44. 44. OlFletch Says:

    Im just getting warmed up lil feller 

  45. 45. Godsfavoriteteam Says:

    Ok you win your right. You are sooooo smarrrrt. i have to say your mean too. I’m beat. There is just no winning when your at the keyboard. I’m bored too. Your not a challenge at all. Your not funny, the whole pappy and gay incest thing is over done between doltish, half-witted adolescents in high school. Are you in Highschool? You gotta come at me better than than this. One playoff win. You guys really hold on to that don’t you? How about 13-3 or would you rather me say 9-7? Do you remember which one is which? <grin> What is "FUNNER" is you explaining yourself to me. You walked right in to that one BRO. You are my bitch now, you will do and say whatever I tell you to say for now on. DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!!! NOw get to your keyboard and tell me off good, threaten me with bodily harm again. Get midevil on my a@#. DO IT NOW!!!!And remember when you do it, It only means you love The DALLAS COWBOYS.

  46. 46. OlFletch Says:

    Wow lil feller, I am getting to you. First off, I is not i, it is I (pappy obviously did beat your ass out of the third grade). Second, I am not your "bro", nor is any Redskins fan your "bro", that  is your cousin/nephew/brother, etc so save "bro" for the next clan meeting stupid. What exactly is doltish? Are you really that dumb, or is that just another type-o? You bet we hang onto that one playoff win, how many do the girls have? Remember lil feller, one is better than none. Oh yeah, A bitch is your mom, and I am not the one who made you a girls fan. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS 

  47. 47. OlFletch Says:

    Hey lil feler, don’t forget to tell to tell uncle pappy about my shit either, thanks. 

  48. 48. OlFletch Says:

    Keep em comin Francis

  49. 49. Godsfavoriteteam Says:

    Listen BRO, I think your smart enough to look up words yourself. See I new you were doltish. Again the pappy thing, completly idiotic and let me tell you why. I don’t know anyone named pappy so its kinda….you know….you see where I’m going here, I’m not offended. Are you trying to be funny? Is that it? I don’t think your adept enough to be funny so that can’t be it. I am trying to come up with a name for you. Something that means Sh#t and Dumb at the same time but washington redskins is already taken so is Dan Snyder. I know, Olfletch! Perfect. Rhymes with dumbsh#t. I like it, Do you? I think its funny that you have the same affliction that RADIO has, Your to ignorant to put all your thoughts into one post so you have to write again and again. THIS IS YOU(oh I should of wrote this…post….oh I should of said this…post …oh I should write this too…post…)<grin> Your too funny. Your as smart as the team you hail. This is my last post towards you. I’m done with you. Now get to writing me back. Do your worst and do it now!!! My good little Bitch. 

  50. 50. gehenna Says:

    Wow, GFT, you seem a little more bitter and angry than usual? Looks like someone got stuck in yer craw. Way to go Ol’ Fletch! You chased him away! Huzzah!

  51. 51. OlFletch Says:

    I told you lil feller, if you can’t get it, we will just sit around and laugh at you. Don’t get me started, or you will just end up digging yourself deeper into the hole that is mammy’s crack-ask pappy/uncle jed (oh yeah stupid, any one is any one, not anyone, your going nowhere) only he knows how deep that stinky thing is-. I figured out why it is that a cowgirls fan would spend so much time on a redskins site (as no self-respecting redskins fan would ever even frequent the enemy’s site, weakling), you are such a douchebag that even real cowgirls fans have ostracized you (look it up stupid, I don’t have time to explain the definition), so you have nowhere to go except our site. Go home little feller, wherever that freeway underpass is. Oh yeah stupid, you dont capitalize after a comma-,Your to ignorant- and to in that context would be too, not to mention I really don’t think that you know the dictionary defination of ignorant, nevermind again stupid, I can tell it will only be lost on your feeble mind, so adios little feller, and tell Uncle Jed/pappy that my neighbor needs his shit taken care of too.

  52. 52. Godsfavoriteteam Says:

    Wow Gehenna I hardley think that telling my little bitch fletch what to do means that any of you have got to me.  He is nothing but a drop in the bucket, easy, a loser, DOLTISH. Like all of you and this team. You cannot chase me away. I will haunt this blog untill you guys get sick of this franchise which will be soon since Dan has no clue how to run a football team. ZORN<grin> GIBBS<GRIN> NINE and SEVEN<grin>LOLOLOLOL. How about 13 and 3? Which one sounds better without a playoff win of course because I know that is the first place your going to go. But seriously, Which Record is better for last season. Be honest
