Does Shanny contract count against the cap?

[deanpet21]

I am not sure. He had made 6 mil a year and 2014 would be 7 mil. I can see why Synder is trying to get that 7 mil back for 2014.

 

[j_y19]

Are you being serious? No, coaches salaries don't count against the cap.

 

[deanpet21]

im serious. I didn't know. if you have to pay him the 7 mil for 2014 we should probably just keep him. but that is unlikely to happen. Well at least Kyle is gone. 50% of the skins offensive problems. Guess who is the other 50% jy19? lol.

 

[Krusheasy]

thinks coaches salary counts against the cap & kyle is the problem on offense ... sounds about right.

 

[deanpet21]

Rg3 and kyle is the problem this year on offense. The line is just avg at best. It amazes me that you guys still defend RG3 this year.

Cmon - they are all gone & if Kyle left Mike would be right behind him in any case. Not sure why you believe that it would make sense to keep Shanahan simply for 7 million. The amount of damage to the Redskins (in lost sales in several areas) will go well beyond that amt (not to mention reducing any chance for success).

Keeping Shanahan is not "unlikely" - it is impossible at this point!

 

[deanpet21]

True, but you have to give this guy 7 million. What I want to know is who made the decision to start RG3 in Week 1. If I can get a honest answer I would be happy.

 

[j_y19]

Shanahan. He is the HC. Happy?

 

[deanpet21]

You don't know that for sure. What if Danny forced the issue. I wish they have the balls to admit who made that decision. I wouldn't be surprised if RG3 told them what to do.

 

[j_y19]

Doesn't make any difference. Shanahan could have said no. How could it have turned out worse? He is the HC. If he lets anyone tell him to do something he disagrees with then HE is the problem.

 

[deanpet21]

If Danny says something Shanny has to obey it. Simple as that. It makes a huge difference. You are trying to tell me that Synder had no input on the decision making of starting RG3 week 1?

 

[SoCalWizFan]

True, but you have to give this guy 7 million. What I want to know is who made the decision to start RG3 in Week 1. If I can get a honest answer I would be happy.

Washington Redskins-Mike Shanahan standoff: Team could attempt to withhold remaining money due under his contract if they fire him

They don't necessarily have to give him his money & might attempt to withhold it. Not sure if this is far fetched or not.

 

[deanpet21]

its true. this is why its taking this long to fire shanny. Synder wants the 7 mil in 2014.

 

[j_y19]

I'm saying that as long as shanahan is the HC he is the only one on the field that can put players in and out. It's that simple. Snyder is not on the field. If he disobeys snyders wishes, then Snyder can fire him. How would that be worse for him than the shit storm he finds himself in now?

It's very far fetched. If they have cause to fire him, they have to do it immediately. They can't wait a few weeks. So if this was to happen, he'd be gone this week ( or at least suspended pending an investigation) and wouldn't be on this presser right now.

 

[deanpet21]

Shanny is not in a shit storm. He is going to make 7 mil next year. I just believe that Danny made the final decision on RG3 for week1. If Shanny comes out and admits that he make the final decision on rg3 for week1, he should of been fired a month ago. 1st the Seattle playoff game and now this. Like I said before this year would be totally different with Cousins starting from week1.

Really? Does Cousins play defense? Special teams? Can he overcome the shoddy O-line pass protection? I am not badmouthing Cousins - just pointing out the reality of the situation. Face facts - this team is bad & needs improvement in several areas (which in today's NFL can be done in an offseason or two).

You are being delusional if you believe that all their problems would be solved simply by playing Cousins.

 

[deanpet21]

We are not a 3-10 team. I refuse to believe that. 6-7 if Cousins starts from week 1. You guys don't know how bad RG3 was this year. Yes, tanneyhill, Luck, Wilson, and Foles are all playing better.

 

[skinsdad62]

if you dont know who counts on the cap then you need to do more research

and that in of itself tells me everything i need to know about your silliness


now snyder was behind the " all in in week one "

look Rg3 played because he gave us the best chance to win period

you are assuming KC would have changed things which you have no way of knowing but your speculation is considered fact in your mind

 

[deanpet21]

You really thing KC plays worst than RG3. skinsdad you have been defending rg3 all year and he has been letting you down all year. You cant say that KC wouldn't change anything.
