Sports → Re: [NFL] Redskins acquire 2nd pick in draft

Cap space? You do know they have a cap about 18 million less than other teams for the next 2 years. The nfl fined them for front loading contracts last year when there was no cap. The 30 something million gets split in the next two years. The Red Skins are screwed at least for two years and probably at least 5. It takes more then a quarterback. Im not sure of the number but its staggering, something in the neighborhood of other teams can now spend 120 something and the skins are stuck at like 102 or around that. What one player do you spend it on. Someone to protect him or someone to catch his passes. In either case not only did they trade the draft picks but they have no cap space to acquire players.

Just read about that, the 'Skins and Cowboys both got hit: »espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/ ··· ap-space

Yeah, that's a strange one. It (the league's action) seems to violate the old collective bargaining agreement and the new one.

Both the Skins and the Cowboys can spread that cap hit over this year and next year. If the Skins do that they'll still be under the cap this year and next.

I'd love to see them challenge the NFL on this one, after free agency and the draft are over of course.

40 million and they have 18 unsigned players. That isnt cap space.
