I think they did some restructuring and opened nearly 9 million tonight

either way, the cap doesnt exist in washington, its useless to even bring it up.

Bryant Johnson In Demand?
Friday, February 27, 2009
Posted By Mike Florio 1:20 AM
One player who is unexpectedly drawing some early interest in free agency is receiver Bryant Johnson.

Johnson signed with the 49ers last year after his rookie contract with the Cardinals expired. The Niners didn't make a run at re-signing Johnson, who caught 45 passes for 546 yards last season.

We're told that multiple teams are interested, but no specific teams have been identified yet.

looks like nothing is happening tonight.

Well, I've updated the free agency spreadsheet to include up to Washington's blockbuster signing of Deangelo Hall. It can be downloaded here for those interested.

 

[silverbear]

cause last year they went through like 10 RBs cause no one could stay healthy. So they will continue to add a huge number of them to see if they can get a small group who can remain healthy for an entire season.

Lemme get this straight, pal-- the Broncos can't keep a running back healthy, so in response to that, they go out and sign CORRELL BUCKHALTER??!?

I am watching nfl network and they are showing the 6 pm edition of total access on a loop, on that show adam shefter said he thought bodden or hall would go to new england.

i wonder if that is why washington ponied up, and does shefter ever get anything right? He was on with the musers on the ticket recently and he come off like a complete tool.

Now Shefters an idiot too?...

Who doesnt suck according to you?

 

[SacredStar]

Clayton said that 6 teams are willing to pay the 40 million guarenteed to Haynsworth..and more teams than expected are giving him calls.

Who are the 6 teams? That's more than I thought.

I'm guessing Tennessee, Washington, Tampa Bay, NY Giants, and the Green Bay Packers being 5 of the teams.

LOL Deangelo is so garbage!!!

He freaking sucks and the Skins gave him $30 mill guaranteed!!!!

$30 freaking million guaranteed!!!!!


HAAAAABAAAAAAHAAAAAABAAA!!!!!!!!! :laugh2:

 

[SacredStar]

I don't think he sucks, but in no way is he worth that kind of money.

 

[burmafrd]

He sucks. Gets toasted regularly. Makes Smoot like like an all pro.

Haha. My friend is a Commanders fan and is so excited about the new deal. I feel bad telling him what I really think. We watched Owens eat Hall alive a couple of years ago in Arlanta. I guess people think he is good because once in awhile he catches a pick in every 100 chances he is thrown at.

 

[Beast_from_East]

How in the hell with only $8 mill in cap space can the Skins sign Hall to a mega deal and be pursuing both Haynesworth and Dockery???

The salary cap is such a joke.

 

[silverbear]

actually that report was wrong, they didnt sign either one, they just set up interviews with them both for saturday.

It still doesn't make any sense for a team that has been bitten by running back injuries to go out and chase perhaps the most injury-prone RB in the game today...

The Commanders reached an agreement Friday morning to keep cornerback DeAngelo Hall, and made him one of the highest paid cornerbacks in football.

Hall accepted a six-year $54 million deal that included $22.5 million in guarantees, giving the 25-year-old cornerback his second big payday in as many years. Hall was guaranteed around $24 million in a seven-year, $70 million contract he signed a year ago with Oakland, but he struggled to adjust to the Raiders' man-to-man defense and was waived after eight games.

The Commanders picked him up less than a week later, and he provided a needed boost to a secondary beset by too many injuries and not enough big plays. Hall played in seven games and started the last four, eventually moving ahead of Carlos Rogers on the depth chart.

Hall's five interceptions for the season -- three with Oakland, two with Washington -- were three more than any other cornerback on the Commanders' roster. He has a model citizen during his short time in the nation's capital, avoiding the type of temperamental outbursts that prompted the Atlanta Falcons to trade him to Oakland in 2008.

Hall therefore became a top offseason priority, with owner Dan Snyder wanting to work a deal before the cornerback had a chance to test the free agent market. The negotiations with Hall's agents, Alvin Keels and Joel Segal, went to the last minute -- and maybe a little beyond.

With Hall's signing done, the Commanders were expected to focus on free agents from other teams, including Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and Buffalo Bills guard -- and former Commanders draft pick -- Derrick Dockery. Coach Jim Zorn has said the team will be active in free agency this year, a change from 2008, when Washington uncharacteristically made no major signings.

The payout of the deal includes $30 million over the first three years.
