Is that at an Eagles game?


Nah, that's in Seattle.  Check out the dude with the poncho on his head directly infront of the kid.   He's got Starbucks and Berkenstocks written all over him. 

:-D

Good point.

I lived in Seattle for 3.5 years.  I can spot those hippy, tree hugging, berkenstock wearing, Starbucks drinking, save the whales advocating, psuedo intellectuals anywhere. 

Right... they're usually the ones at the bookstore not reading monster-truck magazines.

Roster Bonuses Restructured - Cap Savings

(assuming 2006 roster bonuses are restructured to become signing bonuses pro-rated for the remaining length of the current contract)

Sean Taylor: $1.8 million
Clinton Portis: $2.5 million
Casey Rabach: $1.5 million
Shawn Springs: $2.5 million
Cornelius Griffin: $2.0 million
Marcus Washington: $1.9 million
Chris Samuels: $3.7 million
Total Cap Savings from Roster Bonus Restructures: $15.9 million

Wasn't Sean Taylor looking for MORE money before the start of this year?  Good luck getting him to restructure.

So that article is assuming that they'll be able to restructure SEVEN of their top players' contracts? Jesus. What a farging leap of faith. Idiots.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

If the restructure only involves converting the roster bonus to a signing bonus, so they still get paid, I could see that.  But that doesn't absolve the complete bonus off the 2006 books.
Anyone but Reid.

Plus, that's a lot of depth they're losing.  Are they counting on some combo of Brunell/Campbell to be the starting QB?  Are they really going to let Arrington walk after the beastly game he had against TB in the playoffs?

Exactly.

David Elfin and Ryan O'Halloran, of the Washington Times, reports Washington taterskins WR Santana Moss said it would be great for the team if they could acquire Indianapolis Colts WR Reggie Wayne, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. Wayne is considered the prize free agent at the receiver position entering the offseason

Yeah, they could pay him in cookies.  :-D

It just occurred to me that they were team mates at the U.

I know... it takes a second to remember the "U" connection, considering that Wayne doesn't have a felony under his belt.

I would love to see the taterskins get Wayne, while they let their defense lose depth and talent and continue to hope that their super-coach G-Will can figure something out with the slop they give him to work with.

Should be a good time.

taterskins could get wayne and To and it wouldnt matter without a qb to throw the ball to them

That too.  Maybe they're planning to break the shrink-wrap off of Jason Campbell.

QuoteEven if Arrington is cut and counts $5 million this year, the taterskins still would be roughly $15 million over the expected $95 million cap.

    Relief will have to come from reworking the contracts of players like Pro Bowl offensive tackle Chris Samuels ($10.218 million cap value), offensive tackle Jon Jansen ($5.604 million), cornerback Shawn Springs ($5.558 million), running back Clinton Portis ($5.476 million), quarterback Mark Brunell ($5.433 million), linebacker Marcus Washington ($5.167 million) and guard Randy Thomas ($4.912 million).

    The difficulty is that Brunell, who has a base salary of $4 million, and Thomas ($3.5 million) are the only ones with bases of more than $1.5 million. The other five contracts don't have a lot of leeway to turn salaries into bonuses, which can be prorated for up to five years.

    The taterskins could save some money by cutting or trading players in the last years of their contracts, such as reserve safety Matt Bowen ($2 million), injured defensive tackle Brandon Noble ($1.7 million), backup quarterback Patrick Ramsey ($1.688 million), third cornerback Walt Harris ($1.5 million) and reserve center Cory Raymer ($985,000). Adding in oft-injured kicker John Hall ($1.5 million), whose contract expires in 2007, would push those savings past $8 million.


Point, laugh, rinse, repeat.
