Elizabeth Merrill, of the Kansas City Star, reports free agent QB Todd Collins (Chiefs) has agreed to a two-year contract with the Washington taterskins, according to agent Brad Blank.

When It Comes to the Salary Cap, The taterskins Pass the Bucks

By Tony Kornheiser

Excuse me, but exactly how does the NFL salary cap work? More to the point, are the taterskins operating under the same salary cap as everybody else?

Because every February we read that the taterskins are way over the cap, and disaster is looming. And then every March the taterskins outspend everybody else. So it can't be a hard cap. Cap, schmap. It has to be some giant rubber band that The Danny can stretch from here to eternity.

In the last few days at the cost of, oh, I don't know, $100 million, the taterskins have brought in a young wide receiver, an old tight end, a large defensive end, a strong safety, an aging backup quarterback and a young triple-threat wide receiver, punt and kickoff returner who happened to be a college quarterback. (If you're counting, this gives the taterskins five quarterbacks at the moment. It's beginning to look like second base on the Nationals.)

Is there no real limit to all this spending? Or is owning a team in the NFL like going to the Copacabana, where if you want a good table you just grease the maitre d'. Because it seems impossible that the taterskins haven't gone flying over the cap in the last few days. Where does all this money come from? (That's a joke, peeps. Obviously, it comes from the parking, hahaha.)

All this talk about "restructuring" players' contracts is fine. But don't the players have to make some money sometime? And doesn't money count toward the cap? When does the NFL stand up and say, "Okay, the betting window is closed." Or are the taterskins already in Dean Wormer land, on double-secret probation?

Not that I'm complaining. I always like it when a team tries to win and I'm all for giving Coach "Joe" what he wants. But I just wonder if he's really ready for this young man, Brandon Lloyd, who said of his troubles last year with his fellow 49ers, "They just weren't feeling my style." Hmmmm.

Oh, it is a brave new world, isn't it?

Ramsey for a 6th??!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Beermonkey]

Ramsey for a 6th??!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

After the haul they pulled in during FA, losing Ramsey for a 6th barely gets a half-hearted chuckle out of me.

[ice grillin you]

getting anything for a player everyone knows is going to be released is a positive

[MadMarchHare]

Ramsey for a 6th??!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Paper champs, BM.  Trading a first to a 6th and future consideration for a guy who can play is abominable.
Again, I say, what happened to "They deserve the benefit of the doubt?"  Skins have been farg ups for years picking up every big name in FA.  We downplay FA and have 5 years in a row of 11+ wins.

[ice grillin you]

no one is saying the skins arent farg ups and they deserve huge laughter for their player personel dealings.....but at least they try...

if the eagles had done 1/10th in free agency what the skins have done over the last five years theyd have a superbowl

[MadMarchHare]

That's guesswork, and you know it.  Luck plays just as much a role as anything in winning a SB.  Just ask Norwood.

Luck plays just as much a role as anything in winning a SB

going out an adding lots of good players helps more than luck....its not like the eagles were 6-10...they were in four conference championships...adding two or three more very good players would have put them over the top in at least one of those years
