So what does this mean? Do we still have the ability to sign him long term before the season starts or are we stuck with this number as of now?
Got it. Thanks guys. Hopefully both sides come to a position they can both agree on.
But couldn't they potentially get a deal done now that would both please Rak and bring our cap number down for this year? Or is impossible for both to come out happy this offseason?
I think of it as what Jay said this past week at the Owners meeting, "I wouldn't mind letting him play out this franchise tag and see what happens, He's a talented player. I think he can do a little better, we can ask more of him to where he could be more productive". Orakpo has the ability to be much better than he is, yet for at least 3 years now us fans have waited for him to start developing a patented move to get to the qb instead of his usual bull rush. Prove to everyone that you're elite. Give us a 15 or more sack season. Play a full 16 game season
One thing is certain, if the one year tender stays, Washington will be at least $11.455 million dollars under the cap. I see no reason for Rak to sign a long term deal until we're close to the end of the up-coming season. Most of the money would have been deposited, his value established, and the interest of both he and the team made clear.
Actually, the fact that the cap is expected to go up next season is more reason to sign him now. If the cap goes up, FAs will be expected to eat a larger sum of that money. A contract we can sign now at say 11 mil/season will be 13 mil next season.
I think players are worth what ever a team is willing to pay example I think ryan clark is worth base salary but the cowboys think clark is worth 3 mill a year I'm just saying this is hypeathecal.Actually, the fact that the cap is expected to go up next season is more reason to sign him now.

So Albert Haynesworth was worth 100mil?
