Lubeck Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 So they are 20 million under right now, going to be 12-13 after the cap is raised. How do they keep getting back over to do anything in the offseason?
BlueInCanada Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Every year it's the same thing, that the 'Skins are in cap hell yet they always seem to to get by. I don't expect this to change anytime soon, some fancy accounting work I suppose.
Lubeck Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 My understanding is a lot of players restructure their contracts to get it down. How many times can you restructure contracts before either you come up to a REAL cap hell with a ton of bad contracts, or the players get sick of restructuring each offseason and say "No we are not restructuring again."
Clarence the Blue Puppet Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Washington D.C. accounting for you.

I don't really understand it too well, but from what i gather, they convert salary into signing bonuses, letting them spread it over the remainder of the contract. Of course, if that player goes down with a career-ending injury, then they're screwed, because that bonus money all comes back at once. Plus, because they spend all their money on starters, their backups leave a lot to be desired, especially since they tend to trade away their draft picks. Not a good way of doing things, even if it seems like they sign everybody.

Yeah, the Skins are old and going to get a lot older.. they won't be able to keep the young players, with these ridiculous extensions they have been giving to the older vets. If they keep adding years to the contracts, we might see 40+ guys lobing it.

Tell me who on that team do you think is worth their contract? All of them are bad contracts!!!!
BlueInCanada Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Tell me who on that team do you think is worth their contract? All of them are bad contracts!!!! Their TE Cooley is worth the contract he has, good player and until recently I would of said Sean Taylor also.
Storm Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Aren't you saying it backward....they're 20 millions over the cap and when it raises they will be 12-13 under...?
