2005 Point & Laugh At The taterskins Thread

[rjs246]

Same story every year. They're close to the cap, and they'll still manage to sign some massive free agent and lose a coreskin or two. A neverending cycle of mediocrity.

They rose above mediocrity this year. Now they're average!

They rose above mediocrity this year. Now they're average!

The law of averages will deal them a 5-11 season next year to even things out.

See, you guys just don't get it. The salary cap is inconsequential to the Skins. They're stocking up with 'Gibbs type' players instead. You know, the average Joe's with great character.

Even 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.

I seriously can't wait for the "2006 Point & Laugh at the taterskins Thread"....
