maybe you need to read up on the cap and read the link in the "plan " thread and it explains everything
grant paulson is a colin coherd , make statements and then have people debate him his is a radio show host with an opinion that is no better then yours or mineAre you talking about:
Rivera and Smith Playing the Long Game? - Full Press Coverage
Its a nice article but its one person's opinion. Who is Alan Lepore? A simple google search shows that he is "just a fan" like you and me. I find it odd that I quote Paulsen who works for The Atlantic, has his own show and has access to Redskins park, yet he is not the "gospel" and now the word of a random fan who started a blog is more valued? That doesn't make sense. I quoted Paulsen and was mocked for it yet Lepore is now a cap expert and confidant to Smith and Rivera.
The article was fine and we all know we should have a tremendous amount of cap room next year. I even said that last week or so. The question is, are we going to spend frugally this offseason and build through the draft and then next year go Vinny style? That doesn't make any sense.
OR, does the FO not like the FA class this year but next year's class is signficantly better? That doesn't make any sense either as this years class appears to be better overall. Again, the article was fine but I am sure a good portion of those players will be tagged or sign extensions. Hopefully not as it would help us.
I find it odd that the author is implying that we can really use free agency to better the team and possibly address multiple positions and he is now an authority...however, I have said the same thing for weeks now and have been trolled for saying it.
Because we can’t afford another high price non playing QB. We have our quota on them.Why not keep your fifth rounder, and sign Cam Newton for free instead?
Also, I think it’s probably a fair statement to say that Ron Rivera is very familiar with both of these players. He chose Kyle over Cam even though everyone knew Cam was about to be cut. That alone should tell us something.Why not keep your fifth rounder, and sign Cam Newton for free instead?

Nobody's paying Cam 25 million a season.
I do like what j_y said though - we have our quota of high priced non-playing qb's.
That was funny.
Haskins won't be with the Redskins very long, Rivera won't put up with him.
because he has the tenure and respect of NFL decision makers now that he didn't always have with the Panthers. He could have had 2/3 head coaching jobs this year, if Haskins won't put in the work, he'll be cast aside. Signing Allen should leave no doubt in Haskins head that's the way it's going to be. Haskins is a project.Why not? He put up with Cam who seemed to have an exceddingly big head. And unless he just started talking out the side of his neck when the Skins signed him. He put up with Norman as well. So why won't RR put up with Haskins?
