Ty has been paid. Therefore, he won't be replaced by Clemmings.
read the article it talks about ramifications of cutting TY . we save more by cutting him then clemmings which means TJ needs to prove he can do what TY does and is better at it

Youd think the Skins would use some of that $15 mill to either extend scherff now or sign Kenny Vaccarro or the like to a 1 year 4 mill prove it deal.

i am not upset with the skins about the cap . injuries will happen and we should roll over the rest . some key players deals need to get done

If the Skins go into the season with $10 mill in cap and didnt use the available cap to try to fix some holes at LG or S when there were options I would be annoyed

Vaccarro sucks IMO there is a reason these safeties aren't signed and it's not all because of kneeling

he was kinda breaking out but that safety they drafted this past year (the same safety that messed up against the Vikes/Diggs) is supposedly pretty good

its whether you like nicholson enough or not . from what i saw of him he looks like a pretty good answer . i would rather give him a shot . vicarro looks like a DJ clone

I like Nicholson but this is a 3 safety league.

so what kind of deal do you give the BU ? and will he take it ?

1 year 4-5 mill I cant see how he wouldnt take that....

its a passing league hence why Sua Cravens/Deone Buchannons/Mark Barron etc exist. 3 safety packages with one of the safeties acting as the "dime backer"

If we sign a 4-5M safety, NIcholson gets benched, we also are basically saying we are going to go lite in the front seven to keep an abundance of DBs.

Thats worked fabulously the past few seasons hasn't it??

YOu dont, you pay that for a starter, bench NIcholson... then come next draft you watch our resident Flavor of the moment posters scream on how we have to get a safety in the first because we have no idea what we have in NIcholson.

oh i agree, i want to see Nick sink or swim at starting FS . then if he fails we can draft one . i would only sign vicarro if there is an injury

that extra cap money next season could help us in filling some holes

2018 Cap Hits (Questionable contracts):

Jordan Reed - $10M

Vernon Davis - $5.3M

Stacey McGee - $4.8M

Colt McCoy - $3.6M

Shawn Lauvao - $2.4M

Tress Way - $1.7M

Nick Sundberg - $1M

Examining these numbers, a few things stand out: 1) The Skins have $15M locked up in injury prone and or old TEs. This speaks to the need to strongly consider drafting 1, or perhaps even 2 TEs in the 2019 draft. This is too much $ locked up in the position for the usual production. 2) McGee could, and should, eventually get pushed out by home grown competition, particularly with the recent draft focus on the DL. 3) Colt McCoy is a beloved back-up, but he's a back up. His cap hit, if he's cut before June 1, is only $600k, saving us $3M. Could well be worth cutting him now and moving onto Hogan, and looking to draft a QB to sit in behind Smith in 2019. 4) We're probably stuck with Lauvao in 2018, but LG (as has been beaten to death) should be another 2019 draft focus, potentially saving $1-1.5M. 5) $2.7M seems like an awful lot of money to have locked up in a punter and long snapper. These may also be sensible targets in the 2019 draft, given the Skins' wealth of picks and the ease of picking up ST talent in later rounds.

Near term: Cutting McCoy saves us $3M immediately; Medium term: There's currently $28.8M in cap space locked up in these players. If we assume they could be replaced by rookies/young players in 2019 at 25% of the cost, that's essentially a $21M cap reduction from this year. Easily enough money to help us lock up our own, young free agents.

2019 (Questionable contracts):

Josh Norman - $14.5M ($6M dead money)

There's no question Norman has skills, but is he worth his contract? A first round CB selection in 2019, or the maturation of Fabian Moreau may make Norman trade worthy in the next year or so, and should be on the table.

Well, there is the rub, Clemmings must take Ty's job. Not happening.
